But recently for about a week or so when I attempted to watch anything the app would not let go up,down,left or right I could however click on the setting button and it would immediately take me to settings but again I could not go up,down,left or right and when I clicked the home button it immediately went to the home button but I still couldn’t move around. this app has always worked great for me especially since I have lost the physical remote.
I usually don’t do reviews but here it goes. Adding the remote listening feature, which is available for the Roku remote app (we have two Rokus as well), would be awesome too. The “d-pad” on the app needs to be smaller, it should be at the bottom of the screen for people with smaller hands like my wife and there needs to be more options that would be on a basic remote (like a sleep button or volume control) but overall this update to the remote app is a HUGE step in the right direction.
It’s the remote for the 4K Fire Stick and we decided to re-pair it with the bedroom tv. We have 3 Fire Sticks in the house (2 HD and 1 4K) and only one remote still works. The app is easy to pair and comes in very handy because the remotes that come with the Fire Sticks are crap. The old swipe feature had its place but this looks more like a real remote and that’s what we’re all used to. Take that into account and this app update is awesome. Ok so know that this isn’t a perfect 5 star rating because NOTHING is perfect.
