the app on my phone has saved the day, but hard to use.
Download the app on your phone it works much better and costs $0!
I ordered this as my other remote quit working, this also doesn't work with my amazon fire tv, so I downloaded the app to my iPhone & it to quit working
and the app works but is annoying to have to open up all the time
App works great and I recommend the app over the remote
My first remote worked great for 3 months, until the Amazon batteries that came with it both exploded
The remote broke within a month, 2 buttons stopped working
when the remote is working it is fine but I am on my second one and hoping it does not go belly up like the first one
I really like the amazon fire tv, but there should be a better remote control for it, the first one, which came with the fire tv, started having issues after one and a half year, and sttoped working almost after the 2 years, the replacement I got, lasted less than 2 weeks, starting having the same issues the first one had, so I returned it right away for a refund and better installed the amazon fire app in my phone to control the fire tv, works perfect.
If this remote stops working I'm going to smash it with a hammer and send it back to Amazon.
Not what I expected from an Amazon produced product both two fire TV stick at the same, both the third fire stick remote did not work got a replacement and now the other two remote stop working
The replacement lasted less than 6 months before it died.
Perfect replacement to remote that came with our fires tick
Great replacement for the original remote that my dog chewed up
Amazon was helpful after a complaint with getting me a replacement.
Now they want $30 , for an extra $10 might as well buy another Fire Stick, what a rip off for a hollow piece of plastic
I purchased my Fire TV last year and my remote completely died, forcing me to order another remote which as you can see, aren't the cheapest
love my fire stick more and more as I discover all the things that I can to with it
I really do love my Fire Tv however, this has been the 4th remote replacement for my device
They litterally only last a fwe days and it cannot be the batteries because I literally tried every battery I do not know what the problem with the remote, this particular one never worked the one that came with my fire tv stick kills batteries I have used a large pack of duracels, smaller pack of energisers, have tried panasonic and
Having it randomly stop working every couple weeks drove me insane
Original remote drained the batteries every 2 weeks for 4 months
Well, that took weeks because they weren't immediately in stock
I would buy a third party remote or a different E-TV setup like apple or Roku.
The one that came with the fire stick would drain batteries smells twice a week and had to be reset several tunes, it finally died completely after five months.
The buttons and the dumb circle control seem to be bottoming out when touched, like brakes that need replacing

This is the worst designed remote control I have ever seen
NOTE: if your remote breaks within 90 days, send that sh*t back to Amazon and get a new one.
However it does concern me how sensitive this remote control is.
How about expecting a better quality product from a company that I spends thousands of dollars with?
This is the third remote in 2 years (2 in less than 6 months) very bad quality
Unless Amazon comes out with both a better quality FireTV unit and a heavier duty remote, this will most likely be my last FireTV purchase
Instead of Amazon spending more money to get the customers to spend more money to upgrade to newer technology within their family of tech gadgets how about making a better quality product first.
so it is within 4 feet and in plain sight of the remote, and nothing seems to solve the poor quality of this device
I purchase a lot on Amazon and I love to give give stars, but I'm only giving three because I have to press multiple times on the remote to get it respond, and I just got it
It seems like there wasn't a lot of thought put into this by people with small children in their homes.
I don't believe this is enough time for an electronic voice/Bluetooth remote, and I think Amazon should offer to replace these for free, because lots of users are having issues with the remote.
I watch a lot of Sling TV, and while the interface is the same on both Apple TV, and Fire TV, I prefer watching on the Fire TV because of this remote
NOTE: if your remote breaks within 90 days, send that sh*t back to Amazon and get a new one.
The name is FIRE but that does not instill fear in my children or dog nor does it defend itself when tossed back and forth from one child to another while the dog leaps for it with each toss.

The Remote does not last, the search no longer works to the left, the remote has problems with the batteries and you have to remove and replace several times to work the remote
Stopped working after just 3 months, just quite does not respond checked batteries- just does not work????
Voice part does not work for the entire for stick, only the amazon part, not the apps.
