Horrible, For What I Used It For

This review is based on a specific purpose/app that I bought this Fire Stick for, so keep that in mind when reading this review. I have a TV with Roku built-in and I already have access to many of the apps this device is used for. I bought this on the recommendation of a tech from Dish TV, who told me I could use this to access their app instead of paying a monthly charge for a "Joey" on my 2nd TV. Nope. While the app appears to be very similar to the guide screen and functions on the "hopper," the actual implementation is horrible, to the point I would rather go do chores around the house rather than watch this, if those were my only 2 choices. There is so much lag between your input and how it responds that you can't tell if it did not get the command or just wan't carrying it out. Then, the multiple commands you input stack up and freeze it further. Finally, it fails and you have to re-boot. Was so bad, I returned the Fire Stick and ordered a "Joey" from Dish, realizing the $7/month extra was worth not dealing with this hot mess. One could argue maybe it was actually the Dish app that was defective, and not the Fire Stick. Fair point, but is there no beta testing? Amazon (or whoever makes this thing) have their reputation on the line and have a vested interest that all of the apps going through this thing should work. In my mind, if it's a defective app and not the Fire Stick, Amazon also shares culpability because they allow Dish to 1) use their device and 2) promote Fire Stick to access that app. Live and die together.

I love them. They are working good and they were reasonable.

the home page won't stay on, it will auto-turn off into a black screen if not used, I have called Amazon, and they aren't listening to what I asked for. I want that screen to stay on, not turn into a black screen when not used. it's not the same as Roku which always stays on the home page on TV.

Hi SuvSmiley, thank you for taking time to provide feedback on the Fire TV Stick 4K. I can definitely understand your frustration with this. It sounds like the device is going into sleep mode due to inactivity. Currently, the Fire TV Stick doesn't support a native setting to turn off the sleep mode. This feature is in place to prevent potential "screen burn-in." If you'd like to provide additional feedback, you can reach out to Amazon Customer Support 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. Thank you again for your feedback, hope you have a great day!

Impatient survey request

Rating if for being rush requested for an opinion.
if this one works as well as the others I have purchased, then it is OK.
Dipsticks send me a survey request days after I had purchased and give NO time for it to be installed, used, tested. it was for a seldom used guest room TV.
