Firestick Remote Control

My son loses my control a lot so I got this app. Now no matter what I will be able to control my tv. The only two downsides to this remote is one I can speak into Alexa and have her go to what I want. I have to do everything manually. The actual remote gives me that option. The second thing would be, you can use this same app for another tv. I have two fire sticks.

response required

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 the app 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.

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.

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.

You can only click once every 5-10 seconds or you’ve gone too far. For $7 I would think it would be a little faster like an actual remote.
