Easy set up, I love it!
My ex decided to smash up my smart TV and promised to replace it. Well, he brought over a NOT smart TV, basically it was a big flat screen monitor lol and I accepted it as I had nothing else to replace my expensive tv with and was told about fire sticks being able to turn any regular tv into a flat screen as long as it had the connectors and without needing to purchase anything else I bought this fire stick and had internet on this piece of junk monitor he brought to me and I can watch anything I was watching on my smart TV and I can even easily unplug this and bring it with me when I travel so I can access my favorite shows no matter where I’m at and the Alexa thing is cool, you just hold the button down and tell it what you’re looking for and it will bring you right to the app to download it for the first time using certain apps that weren’t already set up on this. It’s so easy and I was worried about the Alexa because I make sure not to bring anything voice activated into my house but since you have to hold the button down to use it, I don’t worry about being spied on in that way. I know they’re still spying regardless but it’s not from my remote lol. This is easy to use, and the screen looks as great as your tv will allow, if you have a 4k screen you will have superb quality of the screen and I’ve been using it daily for a month and a half and have had no freezing troubles or anything like that

False Advertising of storage capacity
I just purchased my 6th firestick, the 4K 2nd generation. The firestick itself works great. However, the reason I bought this one is because it advertises to have 8gb of storage. But when checking the storage in settings, under My Fire TV, it shows the storage capacity of 5.29gb not 8gb. The firestick read that I have 2.01gb of 5.29gb available instead of 2.01gb of 8gb.So, I sent the first one back, reordered a new one, only to receive the same storage of.5.29gb. I’ve spoken to several of the customer service representatives, even the technical team and they all agree it advertises 8 gb. They have all been very courteous and have compensated me, but we’re still unable to help with the storage.So if you’re purchasing the new 2nd generation firestick 4K, be aware you’re not getting 8gb of storage.Amazon needs to correct the advertising of the storage or actually send out an 8gb storage firestick.

Amazing!
My old firestick finally went out after 6 or 7 years of use. I started searching Amazon for a new one, and ran across this one that was very reasonably priced, delivered in ONE day, very easily installed upon receipt & works like a dream!!!! I am extremely happy with my purchase and look forward to years of great streaming services using this device!If you’re on the fence about purchasing this firestick, I urge you to try it, you will be glad that you did!

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!
I didn’t realize what i was missing!!I would have liked it if I could have traded or gotten a bonus for a Trade-in that amazon sponsors. Yes, the price was good and I’m watching great TV because of my choice to upgrade, but again a promise of an upgrade was in an Ad. But never came through in my cart!

Defective power adapter caused hours of setup issues – Amazon Will Not Replace – But Credit Given!!
I spent more than an hour trying to get this to start working. It required 2 – 3 firmware updates that took close to 30 minutes to download and install (Over a 50MB internet connection) and then it wouldn’t pair with the remote. I replaced the remote batteries but that didn’t help and I tried the remote pairing setup several times again with no luck. Finally I replaced the provided power adapter and was able to pair the remote.I’ve tried to have the power adapter replaced by Amazon – but I keep getting the replay that that isn’t possible. The only option provided was to return it for a refund – no option for a replacement! I guess because it’s no longer available at the sale price? I like the products actual performance but I’m out the cost of a replacement power adapter… and have seen a side of Amazon Customer Service I’m not pleased with..UpdateI was contacted by Amazon within a day of the original review. They were very interested in what happened and even returned a follow-up call when I forgot some details! Since it’s not possible to replace just a power adapter they credited my account with a credit for a third party replacement. In my opinion this was great customer service – though the automated system was not helpful at all.

Just what I needed
I got a projector, and it states that it didn’t have the streaming services due to copyright issues. So, I got this 4k fire stick and it was exactly what I needed. Plugged it into my projector and it started right to. It gave me the apps I use to stream with and it even has voice control, if that’s your thing. Great quality for the value of your money. Be it a basic tv or projector, it works.

4k is great
I finally upgraded from Gen 1 and I’m so glad I did. I’m not much of a TV person so I didn’t care about upgrading. I started watching shows on my phone. Then I noticed this on sale . I’m so glad i bought this because the clarity of 4k is immediately noticeable. I can’t wait to add more amazon products to my home. It’s definitely worth the money. The streaming quality is immaculate. Good job amazon

Works like a charm!
I recently upgraded to the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, and it has significantly enhanced my home entertainment experience. Here’s my detailed review:**Pros:**1. **4K Ultra HD Streaming:** The picture quality is stunning. With support for 4K Ultra HD, Dolby Vision, HDR, and HDR10+, the visuals are crisp and vibrant, making movies and TV shows incredibly immersive.2. **Extensive Content Library:** With access to over 1.5 million movies and TV episodes, there’s never a shortage of things to watch. The availability of various streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and more, all in one place, is highly convenient.3. **Wi-Fi 6 Support:** The inclusion of Wi-Fi 6 ensures a faster and more stable internet connection, especially in households with multiple devices. Streaming is smooth with minimal buffering, even in 4K resolution.4. **Voice Remote with Alexa:** The voice remote featuring Alexa is a game-changer. It allows for easy navigation, quick searches, and even smart home control. Just ask Alexa to find, launch, and control content, or check the weather and control compatible smart home devices.5. **Easy Setup and User-Friendly Interface:** Setting up the Fire TV Stick 4K was a breeze. The interface is intuitive, making it easy to navigate through apps and settings. The new Live View Picture-in-Picture feature is also handy for keeping an eye on security cameras while watching TV.6. **Free and Live TV Options:** The ability to watch free and live TV channels is a fantastic addition. It includes popular options like IMDb TV, Pluto TV, and more, providing a great mix of free content and live TV.**Cons:**1. **App Installation:** While there are thousands of apps available, some less popular or niche streaming services might not be available. However, this is a minor inconvenience given the vast selection of mainstream apps.2. **Storage Limitation:** The internal storage is limited, which can be an issue if you plan to download a lot of apps. Managing storage by regularly removing unused apps can help mitigate this.**Overall:**The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is an excellent streaming device that delivers high-quality performance and a vast content library. The combination of 4K streaming, Wi-Fi 6 support, and the convenience of Alexa makes it a standout choice for any home entertainment setup. Despite minor limitations, it offers incredible value and enhances the viewing experience significantly. Highly recommended!

Low cost – High quality = Happy me
I have been using a fire stick I got in early 2019. Now (Sept 2024) i got this one. It’s been great. My old one got very hot and I’ve noticed this new one also gets hot but they’ve always worked. Must be normal operating temps. My old stick still works. I believe it’s worth the update every 3-5 years. I also replaced my internet provider at the same time. When I 1st used this fire stick, my network was not the one I had saved on Amazon. (I had to change or rather add the new network to save on Amazon). The setup still went very smoothly. I stream at 1080 (on a 1080p tv) but this is 4K ready. The interface is much the same but a few UI changes are noticeable. I can tell the new one has more processing power. Well worth what I paid for the device. I have used Apple TV, MAX, Netflix, Hulu, MGM+, and YouTube. (Prime video) and others in the 1st week. All of these work well. People claim the Fire stick is for Amazon users, but it’s a cheap and easy way to use pretty much all streaming services.Amazon gets the concept of providing a low cost device that doesn’t overlook quality…to get business…however you can still easily use other services. These low cost devices like fire sticks, kindle readers, Echo dot, tablets, all Amazon devices I’ve used….high quality for a low cost. Do be aware that a lot of people have different education and views about tech than you or I might. I can still easily buy goods and services from almost anyone thorough this fire stick. Not just Amazon.Highly recommended by me !FYI – At the time of this review Hulu live tv does not work with T-mobile (or any) 5G home internet. That’s not the fault of the Amazon fire stick. It’s complicated but not a problem with fire stick (and I don’t even use Hulu live, so just the information for you)

Marathon sessions be ever uninterrupted!
The Amazon Fire Stick is the digital Swiss Army knife I never knew I needed. It arrived at my door, and I honestly thought I had accidentally ordered a wand from Hogwarts. I unboxed it, and instead of magical spells, it delivered a whole new realm of TV possibilities.Setup was so simple it felt like the universe was conspiring to make my life easier. Plug it into your TV’s HDMI port, and it’s like the TV just woke up from a nap, stretching and saying, “Wow, I’ve been waiting for this my whole life!” The Fire Stick doesn’t just find your favorite shows; it practically rolls out the red carpet for them.The voice control is like having a personal assistant who’s never sassy. Say “Play the latest episode of ‘Stranger Things’,” and it responds faster than a caffeinated squirrel. No more hunting for the remote or awkwardly reaching behind the TV—just smooth, effortless access to all your streaming needs.Navigating the interface is akin to gliding through a futuristic cityscape where every channel is a neon sign beckoning you to dive into a new binge. You’ll find yourself marveling at how many different ways you can waste time—err, I mean, enjoy high-quality content.And here’s the kicker: the Fire Stick’s magic extends beyond just streaming. It makes you the grandmaster of your TV domain. Whether you’re ordering pizza or checking the weather, the Fire Stick has an app for that. It’s like it’s trying to be your best friend, but one who won’t judge you for your 3 a.m. rom-com marathons.In conclusion, if you’re tired of your TV’s old-school ways and want a device that turns every night into an entertainment extravaganza, the Amazon Fire Stick is your golden ticket. Just be prepared for the inevitable, “Can I borrow your Fire Stick?” from every friend who discovers it.

Cloud Gaming Game Changer
I own an XBOX One and Nvidia Shield TV Pro, so I purchased a Firestick TV 4k on Prime Day for $30 to compare cloud gaming capabiliies. I never thought I’d say this about a piece of Amazon Tech, but for numerous reasons, the Firestick TV 4k has quickly become my favorite cloud gaming console, and here’s why:1. I bought it on Prime Day for $29. It’s $59 full price. And even at full price, it is by far the cheapest device capable of cloud gaming.2. Fire TV has apps for Playstation, XBOX and Luna, which support MOST popular games. Sadly, Rocket League and Minecraft have not made the cut. But the free games included with Luna are still better than the free games on most other platforms I’ve used.3. The Firestick 4k’s interface is much smoother and faster than my other consoles. My Nvidia Shield in particular has a clunky, slow interface. The Firestick puts other interfaces to shame.4. The firestick 4k boots games faster than my other consoles. It appears to perform better than the XBOX One during gameplay, but not quite on par with the Nvidia Shield TV Pro (which is to be expected).4. XBOX, Playstation, Switch Pro, Luna, 8BitDo, and almost every 3rd Part controller will pair to the Firestick easily from the settings menu. Connected controllers automatically turn on when turning on the TV using the Firestick remote which is another cool little feature.The Firestick 4k is proof that cloud gaming can be fast, easy, and incredibly affordable. For under $100, you can get this streaming stick and a top notch controller. That’s nuts. If Amazon scores more developers and more popular titles to add to the Luna library, I can easily see Amazon becoming a real competitor in cloud gaming.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (Newest Generation)
I recently purchased the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (newest generation) to replace my old Firestick, which had been in use for about 6 or 7 years before it stopped working properly. Initially, I thought the issue might be with my internet connection, but it soon became clear that the old Firestick needed to be replaced.The new Fire TV Stick 4K has been a great upgrade. Setting it up was straightforward, and it has seamlessly integrated into my viewing routine. It’s become a reliable option for when broadcast programming doesn’t offer what I’m looking for.The only minor drawback is the time it takes for the home screen to appear when switching from broadcast TV to the Firestick. It can take a few minutes for the screen to display, but once it’s up and running, the device performs exceptionally well. The 4K streaming quality is impressive, and navigating through apps and content is smooth and efficient.Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase. It has enhanced my streaming experience and offers a noticeable improvement over the old model.

Love my Fire Stick!
We had a really old Firestick that wasn’t compatible with my TV so we upgraded and I love it! It is so easy to use either with remote or with verbal commands. I love how I can ask for a TV show and it instantly searches my streaming apps to find it. Perfect!! And great value!

Great item
First of all, this item is fairly easy to set up and use. They give you a manual if you can’t figure out how to set it up, and they explain it nicely. I’m a fan of the remote that comes with it because of its small, sleek design. When you get the stick plugged in and working, you have to do a small set up procedure. You choose what apps you want on your home screen, they make you see if the volume control on the remote is working, what language you want, connects to your internet (which then connects to your Alexa app if you have it and have other devices), etc. This can all be changed later in the settings. As for the glitches and buffering, I do not experience either of these with the item. The streaming quality and speed is very nice with no breaking up, lag, etc., making it a nice watching experience. Lastly, for the remote control, the remote is easy to use and understand and the stick is very responsive. (Tip: the Alexa on your remote serves as a normal Alexa device too, as it can do everything others can like turn devices on/off, tell you the time, do routines, etc., but this time it can show you movies and shows on your TV!)

A Game-Changer for Streaming Lovers!
I was blown away by the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K! As someone who’s been using streaming devices for years, I was skeptical about whether this tiny stick could live up to the hype. But let me tell you, it exceeded my expectations in every way.First of all, the setup process was a breeze. I simply plugged it in, downloaded the app, and I was up and running in minutes. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it perfect for my non-tech-savvy family members to use as well.The picture quality is STUNNING. Watching my favorite shows and movies in 4K is like experiencing them for the first time all over again. The colors are vibrant, the details are crisp, and the sound is crystal clear. I’ve watched some of my favorite movies and TV shows in 4K, and I’m blown away by how immersive the experience is.The Alexa integration is also seamless. I love being able to control my TV with just my voice, and the Echo dot I have in my living room integrates perfectly with the Fire TV Stick. It’s so convenient to be able to search for shows or play music without having to reach for the remote.One of the things that really impressed me was the selection of apps available. Of course, all the major streaming services are there (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, etc.), but there are also some great indie channels and niche services that I wouldn’t have expected to find on a streaming device.The only minor complaint I have is that the remote control could be a bit more robust. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the commands to register, and it would be nice if there were more buttons for quick access to different features (like switching between apps or adjusting volume). But overall, these are minor quibbles compared to the many benefits of this device.In conclusion, if you’re in the market for a new streaming device, look no further than the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K. It’s an absolute steal at this price point, and I can confidently recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their streaming experience.

Good choice for first time or upgrade
Have used FireTV and Fire Sticks a long time. Tech moves forward and we stream all video. A 4k capability is needed for most modern screens, and the faster processing power provides a smoother experience. The CEC controlling of the entire system by the remote is convenient.

Fire stick update
I have not used a fire stick in quite a few years. It was in Grandma’s room so she could watch her show Bones and others. She died this year and so the TV got turned back on. I had to order a new one because I wanted the live features for a BTS concert on the new Weverse’s app. It worked perfectly and I was able to get JK’s last concert live streamed. On the side notes there are more advertisements so I’m concerned about the younger generations watching the ads. But it does help you keep your mind busy and choosing what show you want to watch next. Also has a live option and I can watch shows live which are often seem to be just repeated. You can have leverage show or Bob Ross show or antique shopping show. A murder station etc I even have a new Asian with love station. Lots of different Asian shows are showing on that.,………. If you do not have an updated or smart TV this is the way to go. All you need is an HDMI port. ( Do you need the original remote control or the ability to change the HDMI ports on the side of the TV……..This is free service if you buy the fire stick. (Yes, there is Netflix and Hulu and others that you can pay for. They also have Vicki Asian channel. So you can buy things and rent things. Make sure you read it before you click the okay button. My mom paid for a bone show for $5 and she now owns that one show in that one season. She did not even get the whole season. Which you can do I’m sure you just have to read all the fine lines. So if you have children in the house you may have to set up the children’s safety feature. They are quick to answer your phone calls if you have a problem. Highly recommend this for anyone with an older TV and who is not just sitting on their phone watching all the shows.

Fire stick 4K
This was easy to set up and has worked very well for me. The small remote is nice and has been problem free. Been using for about three months now. I got this so I could cancel traditional cable and save some money. Had to adjust to this streaming way of watching TV and you might loose access to a few things you had with cable, (but you gain a few things too) but overall I’ve adjusted and it was worth the $60 per month I am saving by using this Fire Stick

Update Review on remote Added!
Update: after exhausting all troubleshooting videos and anything we could find on the internet as well as reaching out to Amazon customer service for a solution, my neighbor came over to “fiddle” with it since nothing still worked. After about half hour he got it working again. Turns out the electrical storm we had, he believes it tripped something within the system. He reset the entire stick from scratch and it worked again. The storm did not affect the stuck on the other TV in the house. It’s curious, but it’s working fine now. Today, after my review, I received a voicemail from Amazon in regard to my problem. Although it’s fixed and I missed the call, I greatly appreciated them reaching out to help! That speaks volumes! I’m changing my stars!Original review: Loved this product. I bought two when we were forced into Streaming TV through our HOA. HOWEVER, a bit over a month if using one ( which hasn’t been used but a handful of times), the remote will only work on the power button and volume button. None of the other buttons work! I’ve tried new batteries, resetting, unplugging, everything suggested in troubleshooting. Amazon customer service was no help. I didn’t want to return it, I just want it fixed or replaced. Doesn’t it have a warranty? I’ve not installed the second stick on the guest room TV but I pray that one has no issues. I suppose now I have to buy another remote which are about the same price currently as the stick plus remote package. Not happy.

Easy to install and provides quick access
I bought this to replace my old other one, that I got back in 2017 as it’s now 2024. My old one began to take a super long time to respond after I selected something and would drop/stop very frequently what ever I was watching. With this new stick, all of that is gone. Mind you I do not have a smart TV but I do have a Wi-Fi 5. I am now back to being able to watch my Amazon Prime selections with ease. No more dropping/stopping of videos/shows/streams and very responsive to screen selections. Plus now the sound automatically stays as Dolby digital – previously I always had to take it off stereo and then select Dolby digital for each selection I made. Wish I had purchased this sooner..

It makes TV faster but no brightness adjustment
So I got a second-handed Samsung smart TV but it lagged so bad and ofc annoying. I heard that the fire stick could make it faster so I just ordered one right away because the TV doesn’t have a remote and I just didn’t like its built-in system for some reason.The stick does make my TV faster with a bit of lagging which is normal so I’m satisfied with it but the remote doesn’t have the Setting button on it (gotta hold the home button for it) and I don’t know why I CAN’T ADJUST THE TV BRIGHTNESS. The setting on the screen doesn’t have the brightness adjustment as well but I can adjust it when it’s on the Samsung’s system. It has the Display setting but still, no brightness adjustment.

USB cord is short
Overall, the Fire Stick is great. It was a bit of adjustment from my previous Fire TV unit as the display is different. The biggest issue was the length of the cord from the Fire Stick to the outlet. It’s very short and it took a bit to wrangle it from one end of the TV to the outlet. I am buying a 10-ft cord with the expectation that will solve the problem.

Best streamer
Say what you will but Firesticks are stable, reliable and long lasting. I think they’re also the most customizable with lots of apps available for IPTV, gaming, etc. This replaces one of the original 4K “square” Firesticks that was probably 8-9 years old.

Easy to set up and very relaible
I’ve had several different variations of the Fire TV Stick over the years and have never had one fail. This one seems a little faster and works a little better with my weak internet connection. The last ones have had to buffer from time to time. This one hasn’t had to so far.

Easy Setup!
I previously had a Roku that was no longer supporting my apps. I purchased the Fire TV stick to replace it. It was an easy setup and offers easy parental controls.

WHAT A GAME CHANGER
I bought the newest generation Fire Stick during the last Prime Days and so glad I did! Everything works perfectly with it so there is no more lagging! Picture is totally clear and all I can say is if you think something is wrong with your tv or Amazon Prime, it’s probably time to upgrade your Firestick!!!

Amazing!
We purchased this Firestick to replace our old, Firestick Lite. So much faster and much more space for apps. Also, we like having virtually all controls in one control. A good buy!

Upgrade for me
This fire stick was an upgrade for me. I originally had one with an Alexa speaker. The new fire stick works great much more memory lots of applications. The only issue I have is the volume for each application. I think if I upgraded my Alexa wouldn’t have that problem once in a while TV speech will fall a few seconds behind the actual volume coming out of Alexa, but I have corrected that using the stop and start on the movie. I’m watching other than that. I am thinking of future upgrading my Alexa and I should have even better control over the volume.

Fire stick
Wow this is great. With this there is no cable bill you can get different packages if you want such as Netflix, Hulu, and a bunch more if you want to pay the prices. You get many so many channels with this firestic. I have no problem not getting some of the local channels but if I wanted to pay for more I could. I do get lots of live shows and channels. I’m really pleased with this. The stick was easy to install onto my TV, all you need is intranet.

Love all the apps
I love to have fire sticks for all my Tvs to access all the different apps and channels. It’s an easy way to keep up with everything in one place and they’re so easy to install.

Amazon Fire stick 4K gen 2
Update to my previous 1 star review on the Amazon 4K fire stick I purchased.I did not know about the fire stick or any tv sticks for that matter.I was told by a friend any stick will work with any tv that has a HDMI connection point.Not true!After talking with a tech at a Best Buy store, he got me started right!My older tv I use on the patio is a 1080p only tv.My tv could not process the signal from the 4K stick.Once I got that figured out!I got the 1080 stick going on my older tv.Some other things I learned while trying to set up the 1080 fire stick to my older tv:1. I had to move the tv close to my WiFi router to get it to connect.2. The power adapter for the stick needs to be connected to its own plug in for power. Not an extension cord. (So, I had to reposition my tv on the patio to make the power cord for the adapter to reach the plug in.)3. I had to plug in and unplug the fire stick about 3 times to get it to start the setup process. ( but that could have been my tv)4. Once the setup process started it works good!So now, my 2007 Visio 1080p tv works great with the Amazon 1080p Fire Stick! I can’t believe this tv is still working after 17 years! I am glad this fire stick worked!I know, some of you are probably thinking: just buy a new tv! But this old Visio still works great and has a great picture with this Fire Stick.I will be returning the 4K power stick; but again, only due to it was the wrong one for my tv.It was my fault not Amazon’s fault.Like anything, study it more than I did, to enable you to purchase the correct fire stick for your tv!

Easy Install and setup.
I have an older Samsung 40” 4k/UHD LED that needs updated or something to get the basic current apps to load. Every time I check for updates, it states there are none. Trying to get Apps, Netflix, AppleTV, Prime, and Parmount+,etc. wouldn’t work. So I got a hare brained idea get an Amazon FireStix. All my problems are solved now and my TV’s are synced so all are the same. It was easy to use, volume and voice controls work. Alexa comes in such a small little package it hides easily behind the TV plugged into the HDMI port no lag or no buffering since it’s Wi-fi 6E mesh compatible. Easy to restart and sync up. Great upgrade for older TV’s.

had to return the first one…
I have an older D-series Vizio smart tv. I tried the first Firestick and it hung up on downloading the software…couldn’t get to any other screen once it did that. I just happened to have a second brand new Firestick that I was going to send back without even opening it, but on a lark I opened the package and tried that Firestick…it immediately started downloading the software and doing all updates. I sent the first one back with a note saying it might be defective…so if yours hangs up on updating, you might have the same situation as I did. Other than that, the second one works like a charm…no complaints.

works great
had non 4k version for years and it started to be so slow at loading anything, was going to buy a new fire tv thinking maybe it was my bedroom smart tv going bad since it is old too. Saw this was only $30 so decided to try this instead.. perfect, loads everything fast again so TV is still good to go for years..i do NOT like the remote with this 4k package that we got at all. Our other 2 4K remotes work great, make no weird squeaking plastic like noise when push center button and has Disney & hulu as quick launch buttons on bottom of remote.. This one squeaks and has DirectTV and Peacock instead of Disney & Hulu…Like i can see why peacock, it is popular, and we do have a subscription to it but, hmm directTV button??? why we don’t live anywhere where DirectTV is only option for folks, waste of a button.. in the end i guess it doesn’t matter fro me because remote squeaking was driving me nuts so i switched back to my old remote anyways…

Tested Xbox Cloud gaming
*5/5 Stars*So I purchased this to test the Xbox Cloud gaming since they advertised it and I wanted to see it for myself. It does play the Xbox games that are on the Cloud and yes you will need their membership to use it (Xbox Ultimate or Xbox Live). It did play the games well but you do have to factor in your internet connection. Sometimes I did experience lag but overall it was somewhat decent. The other games that are on the Firestick from Amazon Prime Gaming like Luna or GOG games worked very well!Streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, etc. work great. Free streaming TV services like Roku and Tubi are also great on it. Overall, it worked as it should and I am very happy with my purchase!P.S. You can also link your Apple account to access your Apple TV library. As far as I could see, you can’t make purchased though the Apple TV app that would still have to be done on your iPhone, etc.

Works great
I was a little skeptical at first. I went through two other appliances to get a good quality streaming system. This hit the spot. Works flawless. Wish I had done this long ago.Easy to setup. Goes hand in glove with Amazon prime.No buffering that I have seen so far. Voice control is a plus for sure. Saves a lot of searching.If you want the convenience of a smart TV, and don’t have one, this is the next best thing

Bought to play Xbox games – no such luck – REVISED
When I try to install the Xbox app I do not get the opportunity to download the app. It just says “unavailable.” Not sure what I did wrong. I ran all the updates to run the latest version of fire tv. I have the ultimate game pass subscription. I am upset. Don’t get this if you expect to play Xbox games via streaming.REVISED – My apologies to Amazon. I inadvertently installed an earlier version of this device (I bought previously on sale as a spare and thought it was the one I just purchased). The XBOX App does load just fine on the newer device.

Worth upgrading from last version
My firestick from a few years ago was really crapping out on me. It was sooooo slow, and also draining fresh batteries after 24 hours (I triple checked no buttons were stuck, I think the device just became defective). Anyway, after I installed this one I havent had any issues despite having a much older tv. Of course there is a lag using the menu UI, but thats a prime problem, and Ive noticed its gotten a lot worse since they started ads on the paid membership, probably because of cache issues.

LOVE THE FIRESTICKS!
What can I say except these are SO CONVENIENT and EASY TO USE! We even took one with. us on vacation to use in the hotel TV. It worked flawlessly, without us having to sign into our accounts again. Because we weren’t at home, we couldn’t watch live TV on Hulu but could watch our recorded episodes and other things available on Hulu that were not live. Would’ve had to change our home location to access that.Also able to watch Netflix and Vudu, etc. Amazon? Lol, didn’t find anything streaming from them that interested us at the time.
