Perhaps one of the more annoying parts of watching TV is keeping track of the remote. It always seems to be misplaced between some seat cushions or left behind in the kitchen during a snack run. While the TV watching experience has drastically changed over time with the advent of streaming services, the remote has seemingly stayed the same throughout the years. Yet the Amazon Fire TV Remote app is looking to change that for good. Amazon Fire TV owners can now control their TVs through an app on their cellphone. Hunting for the remote is officially a thing of the past.

The Amazon Fire TV Remote App allows for users to navigate through TV offerings like any other remote. It looks and feels very simplistic and is easy to navigate in this manner. This app is also enabled with a connection to Bluetooth that allows for its users to speak into the phone and go to the exact show that they are looking to find. The Amazon Fire TV Remote App also allows for type search for those who prefer not to endlessly scroll nor use speech to find the perfect thing to watch. The app itself is a very minimalistic and stripped down tool that makes general maneuverability quite easy on the app.

Overall, this is a great tool to have not just as a back-up to a physical remote but also as a replacement. The many different ways to search and find something to watch allows for great functionality for users of all levels of app literacy. From kids to adults, anyone can and should use this app.
