FireStick Remote Control Reviews

by Mpkier

FireStickRemoteControl installed and connected fine. It even set the appropriate settings it needed. Once connected, every time I touched the screen a new add came up. After 30 minutes of not being able to access my Firestick through FireStickRemoteControl I deleted it

I’m all for needing to watch ads and whatnot for the free/trial version, but this is ridiculous. Literally everything triggers a pop up ad or another reminder that they want you to buy the premium one. I couldn’t even try it out because there were so many ads and pop ups from it. Why would I buy it when I can’t even try it like it says I can?! No thanks, I’ll find a different remote that doesn’t bludgeon their customers with endless ads and promotion for wanting to try the free version first before buying.

I downloaded this to have a backup and be able to put my pin in because someone broke the real remote. After 5 key presses, every single button press triggered a 20-30 second ad. Every single key press. I specifically needed it to put in my pin, which I can’t do with my tv remote, and it was awful. I understand having a purchase to remove ads, but this was deleted in anger at the experience. I’ll spend more on a physical replacement remote for the rare cases my tv remote doesn’t let me do something.

FireStickRemoteControl is not worth downloading unless you’re willing to buy it. There are ads for literally everytime you want to use this supposed remote. You want to pause something, we’ll there’s you gotta watch an ad first. You’re done and now you want to play it again, we’ll watch another ad. You want to go back? I take an extra 30 seconds staring at a screen for something that should only last half a seconds.
Completely useless!

This is not a good app I downloaded it bc my old remote wasn’t working good but this one isn’t good either you barely can use the remote ads be popping up while u trying to use the remote it’s so aggravating and they want u to pay for no ads Popping up while ur trying to use the remote i can’t even search a movie all the way without a ad popping up two letters into me typing I don’t recommend downloading

Horrible! Don’t waste your money. You are better off just buying a new remote. They only allow you to use it free for a couple of days before they start bombarding you with ads after every other click, then you buy it and it CONSTANTLY becomes disconnected. You have to KEEP restarting your Firestick for it to reconnect and it’s honestly just a waste of time and money. I would not recommend FireStickRemoteControl

Very unresponsive and slow when i click a button it takes a second or two to actually go. All features that are necessary cost 3 bucks a week, and i was just looking for an app that would let me not have to use my remote all the time and just to use my phone.

On the up side, it works. I can use the buttons just like I do on the original remote. However, even though I have a relatively fast network, I was unimpressed with the amount of delay between pressing the buttons and response in the tv/stick applications. Press home and wait # seconds then press down and wait # seconds then press down again and wait # seconds then press right and wait # seconds, ... then press the center circle to select FireStickRemoteControl and wait. Whew, I almost forgot what I wanted to watch before I got to it. Multiply the number of button presses by the number of seconds each takes and you could spend a lot of time waiting for responses. Imagine what this means if you want to fast forward or rewind a certain amount within the application.

FireStickRemoteControl is great and all but i can’t control my volume and for some reason on some of my apps it makes it super loud and then some it doesn’t so i wanted to fix that and i got excited because when i was looking for a fire stick remote app i saw the volume and thought i could change the volume but i don’t know if i’m blind or what but i can’t find the volume and it makes me mad that they showed the picture of the remote with the volume button if there even one??? so i’m now deleting FireStickRemoteControl thanks 🙄

I like this but the adds are horrible pop up too often, I wanted to purchase but it only has a weekly fee and not yearly or lifetime fee options. I use FireStickRemoteControl because my have destroyed my physical controller. Does the job but too much adds.

by Myriebear

I can’t clock one button without getting an ad. After that ad is finished it asks me to start the free trial, when I say no they put me on another ad. Then the process repeats. The remote works but I’m at my breaking point of deleting FireStickRemoteControl if I can’t control the remote on the first place. Just a little less ads smh😤

by Zombie1987gurl

So I get that this is a free version and ads will pop up but it was literally 2 minutes of ads. I gave up because you also have to keep clicking, will try later. So I don’t know if it works or how it works because they so badly just want me to buy the full version and it’s quite irritating.

by Thale16

Doesn’t work correctly. Pressing the home button and left and right is the only thing that works. When i need to press the middle button to select something it stops working.. kind of pointless to have a remote on my phone when it’s not even going to work.

by Hatter_____78

It was a great app at the start. The ads have became a little to forced and they keep getting worse. Basically to keep pushing you toward purchasing a subscription. FireStickRemoteControl use to allow you the keyboard function at first. Now without a purchase you can’t use it. It was wrong to update FireStickRemoteControl saying that it was for fixing the bugs in FireStickRemoteControl . When in actuality it was just to update more ads and to take things away.
So please spare your customers and potential customers like me. Just make FireStickRemoteControl where you must purchase it. So we can move to another app. Which I am currently searching and deciding right now.

It functions soo well but, it has a lot of input lag like I'll paw the show and nothing happens until 10 seconds later it pawses

by Lodybugg

I have downloaded many in the past this is the best one but the ads are quite annoying and frustrating but Over all I like it

by Von💜

It’s a cool app works great but the ads are annoying af like I don’t mind a ad here and there but it Pops up every 5 sec makes me wanna pay for the ad free version

by LLexem88

This mobile remote is great & works similarly to the actual remote. We haven't used it long so still trying to see if there's a way to implant the voice feature unless a part of the Premiere pkg.

by IKIEILILII

I downloaded bunch of remote apps before this one and it’s by far the best. I really didn’t feel like buying a new remote. I like it so much I paid 10$ for ad removal.

by Ac0n313

Hope there’s not a make out scene coming while your kid walks in because you’ll never be able to fast forward... I fact the entire Sec scene will be over be the time the adds are done and you can click a button.
You literally get 3 clicks of the remote before another add. That’s so irritating, I will just go buy another firestick controller.
