What is Amazon Fire TV?
Ever play that frustrating game of “hide-and-seek” with your Fire TV remote? You know, the one where it ends up buried in the couch cushions right when your favorite show is about to start? What if you could turn the one device you never lose—your smartphone—into a powerful remote control?
With the free Amazon Fire TV app for your Android phone or tablet, you can do just that and a whole lot more. This nifty app is your official, all-in-one command center for your Fire TV streaming device. Navigation becomes a breeze with simple, intuitive swipe controls right on your touchscreen, making it feel just like the physical remote, but better.
Tired of slowly pecking out letters with your remote to search for a movie? The app’s built-in keyboard lets you use your phone’s familiar keyboard to type in titles, passwords, and anything else, saving you from the slow, letter-by-letter hunt.[1] Plus, with voice search, you can just tell your phone what you want to watch. Simply speak into your phone, and let Alexa find your next binge-worthy series across all your apps.
Getting started is super simple. Just make sure your Android device and Fire TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and the app will sync them up. You’ll get quick access to all your favorite apps and games right from a convenient menu within the app. While you’ll still want your physical remote for gaming, this app is the ultimate sidekick for everything else.
Stop the remote scavenger hunt. Download the Amazon Fire TV app and transform your streaming experience into one that’s smoother, faster, and far more convenient.
