Amazon Fire TV Remote is a mobile application to control the eponymous set-top box. The application is designed for smartphones and tablets with iOS and Android operating systems. Fire TV Remote App makes it easy to manage your media player's functionality with the touch screen display. Connect to your Amazon Fire TV and download it for free to broadcast media to your TV screen from any distance and control it without using a remote control.

To use all the features of this mobile application, you will need to have a Fire TV set-top box. You will not be able to use this program to control third-party media players. At the same time, the developer of Amazon Mobile LLC has made sure that the Fire TV Remote App will work consistently on all types of mobile devices with the current version of the operating system.

Interface

When you first launch the Fire TV mobile app, the web interface seems too simple. The developers paid all attention to the functionality and usability of the program without adding beautiful controls. Immediately after the launch and authorization are connected to the media player, after which you will see the main menu. The interface is made in dark color.

Functionality
