There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My favorite feature by far is the updated remote. It now comes with a dedicated power button, which is fantastic because I can finally control my older, non-smart TV with just one remote. The remote also has Alexa-enabled voice controls, making it super easy to search for shows and movies without having to type anything. Plus, there are built-in buttons for more popular streaming services.
The fire stick also came with a dongle incase your HDMI ports interfere with one another which certainly helped in my case.
Overall, I’m really impressed with the new features and highly recommend these things to anyone looking to breathe new life into an older tv.
Very nice, faster, smoother, cool.
We realized why it is so important to use the latest firestick version.
Improved performance, upgraded hardware, faster processors and more memory. Also better enhanced user experience, new features, security updates, compatibility, bug fixes, support for latest streaming standards energy efficiency and future-proofing.
Not to mention ease of use, reliable performance for the best possible streaming experience.
BTW, Prime Day is coming up (in October?) - specials and discounts make it easy to consider updating your firesticks around the house.

BTW, Prime Day is coming up (in October?) - specials and discounts make it easy to consider updating your firesticks around the house.
We first started with Roku devices. Over time though, Roku devices basically stop working. They stop being supported, and even though they may have worked fine for years, you can no longer update them or install software, even old versions, so you have to throw them away.
So, we tried firetv sticks. The first generation was rough, but they have come along way. For media streaming and app coverage, they really can't be beat..... but....
We love that they are tied into Amazon, but also hate that they are tied into Amazon. It never lets you forget that its primary job is to let Amazon sell stuff to you and its secondary job is to be your streaming device. What do I mean by this? Well, it really likes to put you back on Amazon's homescreen as much as possible, and when you are in Amazon's homescreen, you are presented with the content you have paid for, but also a lot of content Amazon would like to sell to you. I really only want to see the content I have already paid for. For example, if you are watching something on MAX, or Netflix, and you pause the program, if you unpause it quick enough, it will just pick up where you left off. However, if you wait to long, you will find yourself back at Amazon's homescreen asking you to tell it which user profile to use. Well, unless I tell it otherwise, shouldn't I be the same person I was when I hit pause? Shouldn't I want to continue watch what I was watching when I hit pause? Once you select a profile, you are back to Amazon's homescreen where the show you ads for services they want to sell you, when all you really wanted to do was resume what you were watching when you hit pause.
So then, you have to remember... what was I watching again? And what service was it I was watching it on? And then you have to navigate back to wherever it was you were and then and only then can you resume.
So other than that, the device is great. I wish there was a way I could just pay a fee like you can on the kindle, to alter this behavior so its primary function is to be my streaming device, instead of to show me ads.
This also becomes a problem if you have guests or visitors that don't understand this is how an Amazon device works. We didn't have a password set on the device and we had an older house guest that unknowingly subscribed to all sorts of streaming services and pay per view not realizing what they saw on the TV was not in our services, even though we already subscribe to more services than you could ever possibly watch.
Lastly, the stick periodically has little flukes. Like we have the remote set to turn on the tv. One time, it wouldn't turn on the tv anymore. It turned out, it seemed to be turning it on, but then turning it right back off. Like when you hit the button once, it was sending the on off signal more than once. Unplugging the stick and plugging it back in seemed to fix it and then we could turn the tv on again. It happened in the opposite direction too. One time, we couldn't turn the tv off. We would press the button and it would turn off and then it would turn right back on again. Same as before, a reboot seemed to fix it. This doesn't happen often, but it is annoying when it does.
As for Alexa integration, it usually works well, but sometimes, it just stops working. All of a sudden telling Alex to pause just doesn't work anymore. It just doesn't do anything. Doesn't tell you there is a problem or anything, so you have to go find the remote, even though you have paused it that way 100 times before.
The wanting to take you through the advertising screens is a problem with the Alexa integration as well. You can't say "Alexa watch some movie on some service" and get taken to that movie. No, no, it is first going to want to know who you are, so you get to the profile selection screen. I should be the same person I was last time, unless I have logged out for some reason. Selecting a profile still doesn't get you to where you asked to go, it gets you to the Amazon advertising center. So then, you have to repeat yourself "Alexa watch some movie on some service", and then, and only then, will it do what you asked it to do in the first place.
So the device, is great. But it is my device, and should focus on my needs more than Amazon's, but it doesn't. That is its only flaw.
