Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not as clear a picture as the fire tv, or as fast but very portable and same functions as the tv. Already recommended to several people.

All your streaming media on one device. Love this item

First off, I will state that I am a longtime Amazon Prime member and enthusiastic Amazon customer. We have several Amazon products in our home that we use daily, love and enjoy, among them, the Echo Dot and five Fire Tablets, and other such things as Amazon Basics items, etc. So it was with much enthusiasm that I decided to delve into the world of the Fire TV streaming devices. We already have (or have had in the past) an Apple TV, Google Chromecasts, and Rokus. We gave away our Chromecasts in favor of the Roku platform because we liked having dedicated external remotes and simply liked the Roku experience better. And I personally love my Apple TV and have that as my main streaming device. That all said, Best Buy had a very tempting sale on the Fire TV Stick (only $24.99) so I decided to give it a try since one of our TV's needed a streaming device. I set it all up and proceeded to add all the apps we wanted. I realized that the Fire TV platform does NOT support the Spectrum TV app, which is how we access our cable channels (we ditched the traditional cable set up, opting out of the "renting" of set-top boxes and having 10,000 channels we never watched, in favor of the new "a la carte" option of picking the channels we want and only paying for those--love it). Well, since this particular TV I was attaching the Fire TV stick to was one that we weren't going to use much, just occasionally, that wasn't a dealbreaker. As long as I could get all the apps of the channels and programs we wanted, I was cool with it. But once I finished the initial set up and downloaded all the apps and began to use the TV in earnest, I ran into two big problems. First of all was the UI (user interface), how the navigation works when picking and choosing apps and movies and shows I wanted to watch. It was painfully slow and convoluted. Ugh! I was somewhat used to it, as it's sort of the same as when I use the Amazon Prime TV app on our Rokus and Apple TV, but this was ten times worse. I couldn't believe how much I had to click around just to get to one show/movie/program that I wanted to watch in particular. I know that Alexa is baked into the remote, but I don't want to have to use Alexa ever single darn time, to navigate everything and anything while watching TV. I shouldn't have to. But the even bigger problem was the slowness of the entire system. We have a very fast wireless Internet connection, hardly have any problems at all--and this is with a family of five all with our laptops, tablets, phones, TV's etc. all heavily using the Internet at any given time. So I know the problem is definitely not with our Internet/wireless speeds or connectivity. But this Fire TV stick was constantly buffering, restarting, and just generally working slow. I gave it a chance, but returned it.
