User Reviews

The app is valued as a Wi-Fi remote replacement for Fire TV Recast and works for some users over the home network, but it is widely reported as unstable with frequent bugs, difficult setup/pairing, and UI/navigation problems. Tablet users may face compatibility issues, while others can use it on phones. Overall, it can be handy for remote control within the same network, but stability and usability improvements are needed.

Pros

Acts as a Wi-Fi remote replacement for Fire TV Recast, usable from another room.
Some reviewers report long-term reliability, with it still working after years.
Described as easy to use by reviewers.

Cons

Unreliable and unstable: frequent bugs, disconnects, and the device often not discoverable on the network.
Setup and pairing are error-prone and confusing, with steps hanging and hard-to-click controls.
Frequent need to re-pair or power-cycle the device due to disconnections.
UI/UX problems: overlays, cluttered navigation, and difficult-to-use layouts.
Device compatibility issues: some devices (e.g., certain tablets) don’t run the app while others do.

Can’t watch live TV any more

This app needs Maintenance and updates. It tends to Disconnect from the Recast and makes it hard to play and record programming. It appears that Amazon stop updating this app.
