Installation was extremely easy and worked perfect right out of the box. Set up was a snap. Enjoying tv shows and movies and music channels. Being able to use voice commands really stream lines your searches for your favorite shows and music. I would recommend this to everyone.

The device itself couldn’t be easier to use. Simply plug it into your TV, and you’re good to go! With this device, you’ll be able to use apps such as Netflix, Pandora, HBO, and even Amazon prime (provided you’re a prime member). You will of course need accounts for all of the previously mentioned apps, but if you do not, you can also use YouTube through this device, which has hours of content on it by itself! If you’re an Amazo Prime member, you will already have access to thousands of TV shows and Movies… just in case you didn’t know!
The All New Amazon Fire TV Stick features some changes that are worth mentioning, but if you’re not too tech-savy, just know that this stick performs faster than the older model. This is due to a stronger processor, a 1.3ghz quad core processor vs a 1ghz dual core processor from older models. I WAS a bit disappointed to see that the All-New Fire TV Stick did not upgrade to 2gb of Ram. While 1gb is plenty for streaming in most cases, users may find occasional lag on the home screen, especially when first booting the device up. I’ve found that if I turn on my firestick, and go do something else for a few minutes, or just allow the device some time to boot up, I do not run into this issue. While there has not been an update in ram, I have noticed that navigating the fire stick is MUCH quicker than previous models, which will make anybody happy.
Perhaps the biggest change from the previous Fire TV Stick is the remote control. While all of the buttons are the same, you now have a “Voice Control” button on top of the remote control. By pressing this button, you are allowed access to wide range of commands that take all of the grunt work out of browsing your streaming device. For instance, you can ask Alexa to “Find horror movies”, “play music from pandora”, “fast forward 5 minutes”, etc. This feature is ESPECIALLY useful given the difficulties surrounding the use of streaming devices with a remote control that doesn’t have a keyboard or mouse. It is also worth mentioning that the buttons are now made of a soft rubber material, and are easier to use.
To conclude, If you’re looking for a portable, depdnable, and easy to use streaming device, this is it. At just under $40.00, It’s hard to say no to perhaps the least expensive streaming device on the market. While I do wish that this model featured 2gb of ram for quicker browsing, 1gb is plenty for what most people will be using this device for; streaming. All in all, I would very much recommend this device!

I now have 4 Fire TV Sticks and they are awesome. - - - - - - Everyone should have one of these - - - - - - It does help if you have Amazon Prime - - - - - - because then you would have Amazon Prime Video and Prime Music and this Fire TV Stick accesses both along with hundreds of Apps. - - - - - - And even if you don't have Amazon Prime - you can still access Free Apps that offer amazing number of channels, like: Pluto TV has 100+ channels. - - - - - - It even has a Games section!!

I have the first gen chromecast and a few Roku devices. This is sort of a hybrid between those two. It has access to Android apps and a dedicated remote, unlike chromecast. It's more Amazon centric, so some Google related apps are not available.

After owning 2 of these devices I could not resist getting a 3rd 1 as a present for my mom. This is by far the best streaming device that I have ever used. I setup amazon prime photo so that i can easily share our photos with my mom from afar.
