Fire Tv Stick Companion App For Remote

This fire stick works great and I can control my tv with the remote. No need for anything else.

I have been using Roku devices for many years. In the past, there was always a few glitches here and there that would show up while using them. This started showing major improvement with the Roku 3 that I purchased and then last with the model 3600 streaming stick. Now the hardware is not only fast in the menus but reliable and stable as well. Picture quality is as good as any streaming device I have owned and I have used many. The new remote control with voice, TV power and volume controls are a great upgrade from the 3600 model streaming stick. I can now watch TV with one remote control and that is very handy. If I could change anything it would be the integration of a TV guide type of application, such as the TV app on the Apple TV. There is a version of this on the remote app, but it is not as detailed as the version I have used on Apple TV. It would be nice to have this type of thing visible on the device and not just on the app. I suspect Roku will create something like this in the future. They are a responsive company that cares about the customer experience. What makes this a 5-star device though is the quality matched with the price. The closest competitor is a Fire TV, but they push you more toward the Amazon content while Roku is content agnostic with all but iTunes available to access. The menus are prettier on Fire TV, but the simplicity of access better on the Roku. I would argue that the quality and stability of the software is better as well. Overall this is a great device that gives you 4K without breaking your budget to do so. The fact that it does all of this with a simplistic and reliable platform makes it even better.

Chose this stick over a Fire Stick and really enjoy using it. It's a more hands-off android TV experience without so much of the Prime Video experience shoved into your face

I bought it and like it better than my fire stick.

Fire TV Stick works GREAT-!!! No need 4 multiple remotes-!

I bought the New Roku Ultra after having the Roku Stick because it is a lot better than Amazon Fire Stick or Apple TV, Plus it has a Ethernet Jack so you can hard wire it to your home network which is better for Streaming. Easy to use and add channels with the search feature. I have already installed 4 units at my customers homes also. Roku is AWESOME.

I bought this ROKU because it offers more streaming options than the Fire Stick. In fact, I have it on my Fire TV. Fire TV and Fire Stick won't let you download YOUTUBE TV.

Huge improvement over the fire stick, well worth the extra money. It was basically this or the Apple TV, and I'm glad I got this because I've really appreciated how configurable it is.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was just a type of Soundbar I was looking for it had the wall mounting hardware included. All I had to do was buy a certain size screw. Mine would be completely wireless looking if it weren't for the need to plug it in just above where it's mounted. What I do love is I'm using my Amazon Fire TV stick Bluetooth connection. Here's something I never expected after time the sound bar becomes a custom to being connected to the Fire TV stick by Bluetooth. So when the Fire TV stick Powers up with the television it automatically connects after so long. I'm thinking about getting an optical cable for the Soundbar and television.

I own the older Samsung TV and various apps I could not install on them. So with this Fire TV Stick it resolved my issue. I have only been using it for 8 days and hope all continues to go well.
