Kindly read this if you’re planning to buy a fire TV stick.I’ll explain everything you need to know before buying this device.I was very excited when I got to know that Amazon was planning to launch its media streaming devices to India.I was expecting the fire tv, I don’t know why Amazon only launched the fire TV stick in India. Anyway, without thinking any further, I ordered it when they launched it in India.Unlike its elder brother, Fire tv stick doesn’t have 4k streaming. It’s still an excellent choice if you have a 1080p set.Fire Tv Stick is mostly a success. Its interface (including the voice search) is incredibly snappy and fast, and it gives the access to move across apps that you use on a regular basis.Introduction-*Amazon fire Tv stick is a media streaming device which lets you stream video, install apps, play music etc on your tv.*It’s built on the Android platform and it converts your normal tv to a smart tv.*You can install android apps on the device and play games and enjoy music too.*It’s an HDMI stick and all you need is an HDMI port on your television and you’re good to go.Design-*The fire tv stick is no bigger than a USB which you can just plug into your television slot.*Make sure you have another free power slot close by.*This is because the Amazon Fire TV Stick needs to be plugged into one in order to work.*There’s a micro-USB slot, which is used to charge the device.*Plugging in the Amazon Fire TV Stick is pretty simple.*The device is compact and doesn’t really require a lot of space.*This comes with its own remote with voice control features.Use-*Main use is to watch content from the internet.*You can watch everything that’s available online through Amazon Prime or Netflix or any other website.*You can sideload any android apps.*It also has its own Amazon built-in app store from where you can download the apps.*Even if you don’t have a DTH or cable connection you can watch Tv with airtel TV and Jio Tv (Watch tutorials on Youtube).*It comes with many apps preinstalled such as Hotstar, Sony Liv, Airtel Movies, Jio Cinema, Netflix, Gaana, Prime Music and many more.*The voice remote is Bluetooth connected and can be operated very easily.*Screen mirroring is possible but not very smooth.Setting it Up-*Setting it up is quite simple.*Connect it to your Tv’s HDMI port, plug it to the power adapter and once you’re done, grab the remote.*You sign in with your Amazon account (if you purchase this on Amazon.in, it’ll come with your credentials preloaded).*The home screens are laid out in such a way that you need to scroll right or left to switch between apps, Prime TV shows, and the Movies library—it is a breeze to search for and discover new content.*Connect it to any wifi networks or your mobile hotspot and you’re good to go.Parental controls-*Fire TV Stick comes with parental controls settings.*Users can set a PIN to restrict access of mature content by children.*Company says that all movies and TV shows in the Amazon Prime Video catalog, as well as apps from the Amazon App store, come with maturity ratings by age group.Track data usage-*Users can keep a check on their data consumption through Fire TV Stick.*Using the data monitoring feature on Fire TV, users can select their preferred viewing quality to manage data use.*Also user can configure their Fire TV Stick to alert them before data use exceeds their preset limit.Voice search remote-*Voice Remote responds instantly and lets users easily search for Amazon Video content using their voice.*It doesn’t let you search content in other apps like youtube.*Though the voice function doesn’t come to use much, the Bluetooth remote is incredibly fast and easy to use.*However it doesn’t have any volume controls, and that’s a big miss.*Also Indian users don’t get Alexa assistant like the US version.*I’ve got queries from users about the battery consumption of the remote. In my experience, its average and I never changed the battery in almost 6,7 months and its still working fine.Speed-*Fire Tv stick is very fast, it even works on a 1mbps plan and streams HD.*Internal storage could’ve been increased, as it only comes with around 5gb free space.*You can connect a USB Otg host cable and connect pen drives to increase storage or a wireless keyboard or mouse to it.Other Features-*You can connect Bluetooth headphones or speakers to the fire stick.*Apps are available for the stick on the app store and play store, which can be used to make your mobile as a keyboard.*You can directly play videos from Prime video and even youtube app from your mobile to your fire tv stick with one click.*You should have the same account registered on both the device for this feature.*My sony remote works fine for the fire Tv. So that I don’t have to use 2 remotes at the same time.Youtube-*Amazon and Google had some issues and they removed youtube app from the fire Tv stick but youtube can be sideloaded or can be opened with Silk browser or Firefox which comes with the fire Tv stick.Price-*I got it during The Great Indian sale when it was priced at 3000 and also got a cashback of 200.*Which makes it a total of Rs 2800.*On Prime day it was sold for 2799 and extra cashback was there too.*I would suggest you wait so that you get good deals.*I don’t think it’s a good choice to buy it for 4K as you can get better options like the Mi Tv Box.Overall Verdict-*Amazon Fire TV Stick works like it is supposed to: streaming your digital content onto your regular old dumb TV set.*In my experience with this device, it has given me no cause to complain. I have fallen in love with it.*If you are a movie buff or you love watching English series, movies, Youtube videos and other content online, or you wanna convert your old dumb Dabba tv to a smart one then this device is for you.*Don’t think twice. Buy it and start streaming. You’ll fall in love with it. :)*If you’ve any queries regarding the product or its working, feel free to contact me. Happy to help.*Hope this was Helpful.Happy Shopping 🙂

 I am using Fire TV Stick from the last 1 year. I am very much happy with the device. It has all the required features to turn your normal TV into smart. Smooth interface with no lags and compatibility with most of the Apps except the Google Apps. It totally does the job for media viewing experience.———UPDATE———Video added to show a demo of the interface and Alexa Functionality in the device. Hope it helps.——–NOTE:——–Do check if your TV supports a Universal Remote for controlling. Not every brand or model does that. So ON/OFF, Volume Control and mute might or might not work.The new remote that has IR feature now, can Turn your TV ON/OFF and control the TV Volume. This is a very practical move which should have been included in the previous version.————————————–Supported Famous Apps/Games:————————————–Prime Video, Prime Music, Hotstar, Netflix, Airtel Cinema, Jio Cinema, Zee5, Viu, Youtube (Via thrid party apps), Firefox, Riptide GP2, Asphalt (But storage won’t be enough), Crossy Roads Etc———————–Unsupported Apps:———————–Google Photos, Google Drive, Facebook, Jio Tv, Airtel Tv, Playstore——Pros:——1. Easy to setup.2. Intuitive interface with curated content.3. No stuttering or hangs with good internet speed.4. Supports Phone Mirroring.5. Casting support for Prime Videos, Youtube Videos.6. Option to sideload Apks.7. Very responsive remote.8. Remote app available to control from phone.9. Alexa for voice search.10. Above all, its a stand alone device unlike chromecast.——-Cons:——-1. The screen mirroring has a slight lag, making it not suitable for gaming from phone.2. Voice search in the remote works only for the content in Prime Video.3. Does not have a great game collection.4. Limited storage and no SD card support.5. Slow startup times. (Best to not switch off the adapter)6. No option to add another amazon account. Only one account at a time.————–Conclusion:————– If you are OK with using two remotes, you can buy the previous version that is available at discounted price. But if you don’t, then buy this without any hesitation. Either way you will have a great device for your family.I just wish they increased the internal storage at least in this version. So one star reduced only for that.

Don’t buy this version now if you want to play Jio Cinema moves. I am very sad as movies in Jio Cinema aren’t streaming in this advanced version of Amazon firestick though it was working fine in previous version. Media files Jio cinema are alway in buffer mode and not playing at all. Moreover HotStar takes around 10 mins to launch. My WiFi speed is 50 Mbps. I trusted the brand so I bought in relaunch only without checking the review of the device and this made me unhappy with the big brand like amazon. I will return this advanced version and buy the initial version. Prime Video’s are streaming very well that’s why i am giving rating 1.

Very very nice product. After using it i have disconnected my DTH connection as it is useless. If u have a good data pack with mobile or broadband or dungle then use fire stick, not DTH. Aftet TRAI new rule, it is exepensive to see the normal paid channels. I have a request to Jio to provide JioTV app for fire stick.

I have a 🔥TV (non 4K) which I found to be excellent and when the 4K version was stated for release, I pre ordered it. However, I am extremely disappointed with it. I have a 55 inch Android VU TV, 2018 model which supports 4k as evidenced by 4k videos from YouTube but for the fire stick 4k, the brightness and contrast was pre set to a dismal low value. It was too dark to watch. There is nothing in it to adjust my brightness and I gave up and went back to my fire TV non 4k one which atleast looks vibrant and joyful to watch. The 4k one is just appalling. I am sorry but Amazon totally let me down here.

Firstly I am the early adopter of the technology and bought Amazon Fire Stick when it was launched, currently using over 7 of them in all my TVs as well as my car, simply love the freedom of watching your favourite entertainment anywhere and everywhere.Now I was too excited to see Amazon launching their 4K fire stick as with due course of time, most of the TVs have been upgraded to 4k, however there so li’l content to watch in UHD, So I ordered this 4K Fire Stick last month when it was announced.Ordering and Delivery :It was such a long wait, It took more a month for Amazon to finally launch it and even more time in delivery, I was really disappointed with long wait and even more when it was available on delivery for next day, but I had to wait as I placed my order earlier. What else there were no discounts or special pricing either on pre-orders, thumbs down to Amazon.Unboxing :I unboxed the 4K Fire Stick when the product was delivered and it was almost similar to my previous Fire sticks only visible differences were the size of this one is slightly bigger (check the pics) and there in no Amazon written on it (previous one had it). Other than that, it’s pretty similar. Remote has few additional buttons, including power on/off (Yes it can switch off your TV as well) and Volume rocker and a mute button, all are very useful and much awaited, however Volume button will only control the volume of your TV, I am not able to make it work on my Bluetooth speakers, overall its welcoming feature.Performance and difference :Now comes the most important part, how does it compares to the previous Fire Stick (2nd Gen), I installed the same on my LG55″ OLED TV to experi. Amazon Prime again has very limited options for 4K/UHD content, however Netflix do stream some interesting content, I played the same on UHD quality and yes there was certainly some improvement in the quality, even the usual content (1080P) was slightly better as reported by my wife, who is addicted to daily soap operas and reality shows. Having said that the difference was not that great, which I was expecting. Moreover when I tried the same on some friend’s low budget UHD TVs, it was minuscule and one cannot makeout any difference in quality of the image or sound. I was expecting it to be faster as the specs are much better than my previous fire sticks, however to my utter surprise, it was infact much slower to browse through different apps and much more laggy in browsing through menus, I just hope maybe some firmware update will improve the same, however in current iteration it feels more like a downgrade than upgrade.Final Verdict :Well if you have a high quality UHD/4K TV, high speed broadband connections (I am using 1gbps connection), Netflix premium subscription, this is your first Fire Stick, techno-head and have an eye for detail, then I would say it’s a worthy pick, for everyone else normal Fire Stick would do just as good. This one definitely comes with additional buttons on remote and was bundled with Alexa, however the later was also added in previous Fire Sticks and stole that advantage as well. Maybe some firmware update in future will improve its performance or some considerable drop in price will make it a compelling buy but till than I am sticking to my previous fire sticks for all other devices.Thanks for reading !Update : The remote is extremely unresponsive, at times doesn’t work at all, or scrolling is continuos (you can’t stop it), already applied for the replacement, will comment once replaced.Update 2: 4K Fire Stick is just getting worse, it hangs even with 1gbps connection and modem less than 1m away from it, even worse it can’t stream movies from my NAS, which is again connected through same Wifi network. Most of the times if losses connectivity from router stating, No network available, surprisingly previous (2nd gen) Fires ticks works flawlessly on the same network, this one is also extremely slow and unresponsive, I have even reset it to factory defaults multiple times and result is same every time. What is more frustrating, that Amazon is not responding for replacement or refund, feeling duped by Amazon this time.Update 3 : After umpteen no. of attempts, endless conversations with customer care and spending hours with their technical support team, today I have finally returned their 4K Fire Stick device, as the review suggests, its totally not worth it, Hopefully Amazon launches a better, lag free, bugs free update and I might go for it, as for now, I have to contempt with the normal fire stick, 4K/UHD content has to wait.

What is more frustrating, that Amazon is not responding for replacement or refund, feeling duped by Amazon this time.Update 3 : After umpteen no. of attempts, endless conversations with customer care and spending hours with their technical support team, today I have finally returned their 4K Fire Stick device, as the review suggests, its totally not worth it, Hopefully Amazon launches a better, lag free, bugs free update and I might go for it, as for now, I have to contempt with the normal fire stick, 4K/UHD content has to wait.

Very very nice product. After using it i have disconnected my DTH connection as it is useless. If u have a good data pack with mobile or broadband or dungle then use fire stick, not DTH. Aftet TRAI new rule, it is exepensive to see the normal paid channels. I have a request to Jio to provide JioTV app for fire stick.

I have a 🔥TV (non 4K) which I found to be excellent and when the 4K version was stated for release, I pre ordered it. However, I am extremely disappointed with it. I have a 55 inch Android VU TV, 2018 model which supports 4k as evidenced by 4k videos from YouTube but for the fire stick 4k, the brightness and contrast was pre set to a dismal low value. It was too dark to watch. There is nothing in it to adjust my brightness and I gave up and went back to my fire TV non 4k one which atleast looks vibrant and joyful to watch. The 4k one is just appalling. I am sorry but Amazon totally let me down here.

Firstly I am the early adopter of the technology and bought Amazon Fire Stick when it was launched, currently using over 7 of them in all my TVs as well as my car, simply love the freedom of watching your favourite entertainment anywhere and everywhere.Now I was too excited to see Amazon launching their 4K fire stick as with due course of time, most of the TVs have been upgraded to 4k, however there so li’l content to watch in UHD, So I ordered this 4K Fire Stick last month when it was announced.Ordering and Delivery :It was such a long wait, It took more a month for Amazon to finally launch it and even more time in delivery, I was really disappointed with long wait and even more when it was available on delivery for next day, but I had to wait as I placed my order earlier. What else there were no discounts or special pricing either on pre-orders, thumbs down to Amazon.Unboxing :I unboxed the 4K Fire Stick when the product was delivered and it was almost similar to my previous Fire sticks only visible differences were the size of this one is slightly bigger (check the pics) and there in no Amazon written on it (previous one had it). Other than that, it’s pretty similar. Remote has few additional buttons, including power on/off (Yes it can switch off your TV as well) and Volume rocker and a mute button, all are very useful and much awaited, however Volume button will only control the volume of your TV, I am not able to make it work on my Bluetooth speakers, overall its welcoming feature.Performance and difference :Now comes the most important part, how does it compares to the previous Fire Stick (2nd Gen), I installed the same on my LG55″ OLED TV to experi. Amazon Prime again has very limited options for 4K/UHD content, however Netflix do stream some interesting content, I played the same on UHD quality and yes there was certainly some improvement in the quality, even the usual content (1080P) was slightly better as reported by my wife, who is addicted to daily soap operas and reality shows. Having said that the difference was not that great, which I was expecting. Moreover when I tried the same on some friend’s low budget UHD TVs, it was minuscule and one cannot makeout any difference in quality of the image or sound. I was expecting it to be faster as the specs are much better than my previous fire sticks, however to my utter surprise, it was infact much slower to browse through different apps and much more laggy in browsing through menus, I just hope maybe some firmware update will improve the same, however in current iteration it feels more like a downgrade than upgrade.Final Verdict :Well if you have a high quality UHD/4K TV, high speed broadband connections (I am using 1gbps connection), Netflix premium subscription, this is your first Fire Stick, techno-head and have an eye for detail, then I would say it’s a worthy pick, for everyone else normal Fire Stick would do just as good. This one definitely comes with additional buttons on remote and was bundled with Alexa, however the later was also added in previous Fire Sticks and stole that advantage as well.

 I am using Fire TV Stick from the last 1 year. I am very much happy with the device. It has all the required features to turn your normal TV into smart. Smooth interface with no lags and compatibility with most of the Apps except the Google Apps. It totally does the job for media viewing experience.———UPDATE———Video added to show a demo of the interface and Alexa Functionality in the device. Hope it helps.——–NOTE:——–Do check if your TV supports a Universal Remote for controlling. Not every brand or model does that. So ON/OFF, Volume Control and mute might or might not work.The new remote that has IR feature now, can Turn your TV ON/OFF and control the TV Volume. This is a very practical move which should have been included in the previous version.————————————–Supported Famous Apps/Games:————————————–Prime Video, Prime Music, Hotstar, Netflix, Airtel Cinema, Jio Cinema, Zee5, Viu, Youtube (Via thrid party apps), Firefox, Riptide GP2, Asphalt (But storage won’t be enough), Crossy Roads Etc———————–Unsupported Apps:———————–Google Photos, Google Drive, Facebook, Jio Tv, Airtel Tv, Playstore——Pros:——1. Easy to setup.2. Intuitive interface with curated content.3. No stuttering or hangs with good internet speed.4. Supports Phone Mirroring.5. Casting support for Prime Videos, Youtube Videos.6. Option to sideload Apks.7. Very responsive remote.8. Remote app available to control from phone.9. Alexa for voice search.10. Above all, its a stand alone device unlike chromecast.——-Cons:——-1. The screen mirroring has a slight lag, making it not suitable for gaming from phone.2. Voice search in the remote works only for the content in Prime Video.3. Does not have a great game collection.4. Limited storage and no SD card support.5. Slow startup times. (Best to not switch off the adapter)6. No option to add another amazon account. Only one account at a time.————–Conclusion:————– If you are OK with using two remotes, you can buy the previous version that is available at discounted price. But if you don’t, then buy this without any hesitation. Either way you will have a great device for your family.I just wish they increased the internal storage at least in this version. So one star reduced only for that.

Don’t buy this version now if you want to play Jio Cinema moves. I am very sad as movies in Jio Cinema aren’t streaming in this advanced version of Amazon firestick though it was working fine in previous version. Media files Jio cinema are alway in buffer mode and not playing at all. Moreover HotStar takes around 10 mins to launch. My WiFi speed is 50 Mbps. I trusted the brand so I bought in relaunch only without checking the review of the device and this made me unhappy with the big brand like amazon. I will return this advanced version and buy the initial version. Prime Video’s are streaming very well that’s why i am giving rating 1.

I have old firestick, bought this new 4K stick.. to be frank i don’t see any difference eventhough its showing as playing Ultra HD there is no much difference for 1080p and Ultra HD. Sound quality in my sound bar is okay… If you really don’t care about 4K can still buy the old stick..I returned it to save my 6k. I’m 1000% satisfied with my old one.

Aftet TRAI new rule, it is exepensive to see the normal paid channels. I have a request to Jio to provide JioTV app for fire stick.

I have a 🔥TV (non 4K) which I found to be excellent and when the 4K version was stated for release, I pre ordered it. However, I am extremely disappointed with it. I have a 55 inch Android VU TV, 2018 model which supports 4k as evidenced by 4k videos from YouTube but for the fire stick 4k, the brightness and contrast was pre set to a dismal low value. It was too dark to watch. There is nothing in it to adjust my brightness and I gave up and went back to my fire TV non 4k one which atleast looks vibrant and joyful to watch. The 4k one is just appalling. I am sorry but Amazon totally let me down here.

Firstly I am the early adopter of the technology and bought Amazon Fire Stick when it was launched, currently using over 7 of them in all my TVs as well as my car, simply love the freedom of watching your favourite entertainment anywhere and everywhere.Now I was too excited to see Amazon launching their 4K fire stick as with due course of time, most of the TVs have been upgraded to 4k, however there so li’l content to watch in UHD, So I ordered this 4K Fire Stick last month when it was announced.Ordering and Delivery :It was such a long wait, It took more a month for Amazon to finally launch it and even more time in delivery, I was really disappointed with long wait and even more when it was available on delivery for next day, but I had to wait as I placed my order earlier. What else there were no discounts or special pricing either on pre-orders, thumbs down to Amazon.Unboxing :I unboxed the 4K Fire Stick when the product was delivered and it was almost similar to my previous Fire sticks only visible differences were the size of this one is slightly bigger (check the pics) and there in no Amazon written on it (previous one had it). Other than that, it’s pretty similar. Remote has few additional buttons, including power on/off (Yes it can switch off your TV as well) and Volume rocker and a mute button, all are very useful and much awaited, however Volume button will only control the volume of your TV, I am not able to make it work on my Bluetooth speakers, overall its welcoming feature.Performance and difference :Now comes the most important part, how does it compares to the previous Fire Stick (2nd Gen), I installed the same on my LG55″ OLED TV to experi. Amazon Prime again has very limited options for 4K/UHD content, however Netflix do stream some interesting content, I played the same on UHD quality and yes there was certainly some improvement in the quality, even the usual content (1080P) was slightly better as reported by my wife, who is addicted to daily soap operas and reality shows. Having said that the difference was not that great, which I was expecting. Moreover when I tried the same on some friend’s low budget UHD TVs, it was minuscule and one cannot makeout any difference in quality of the image or sound. I was expecting it to be faster as the specs are much better than my previous fire sticks, however to my utter surprise, it was infact much slower to browse through different apps and much more laggy in browsing through menus, I just hope maybe some firmware update will improve the same, however in current iteration it feels more like a downgrade than upgrade.Final Verdict :Well if you have a high quality UHD/4K TV, high speed broadband connections (I am using 1gbps connection), Netflix premium subscription, this is your first Fire Stick, techno-head and have an eye for detail, then I would say it’s a worthy pick, for everyone else normal Fire Stick would do just as good. This one definitely comes with additional buttons on remote and was bundled with Alexa, however the later was also added in previous Fire Sticks and stole that advantage as well. Maybe some firmware update in future will improve its performance or some considerable drop in price will make it a compelling buy but till than I am sticking to my previous fire sticks for all other devices.Thanks for reading !Update : The remote is extremely unresponsive, at times doesn’t work at all, or scrolling is continuos (you can’t stop it), already applied for the replacement, will comment once replaced.Update 2: 4K Fire Stick is just getting worse, it hangs even with 1gbps connection and modem less than 1m away from it, even worse it can’t stream movies from my NAS, which is again connected through same Wifi network. Most of the times if losses connectivity from router stating, No network available, surprisingly previous (2nd gen) Fires ticks works flawlessly on the same network, this one is also extremely slow and unresponsive, I have even reset it to factory defaults multiple times and result is same every time.

Remote has few additional buttons, including power on/off (Yes it can switch off your TV as well) and Volume rocker and a mute button, all are very useful and much awaited, however Volume button will only control the volume of your TV, I am not able to make it work on my Bluetooth speakers, overall its welcoming feature.Performance and difference :Now comes the most important part, how does it compares to the previous Fire Stick (2nd Gen), I installed the same on my LG55″ OLED TV to experi. Amazon Prime again has very limited options for 4K/UHD content, however Netflix do stream some interesting content, I played the same on UHD quality and yes there was certainly some improvement in the quality, even the usual content (1080P) was slightly better as reported by my wife, who is addicted to daily soap operas and reality shows. Having said that the difference was not that great, which I was expecting. Moreover when I tried the same on some friend’s low budget UHD TVs, it was minuscule and one cannot makeout any difference in quality of the image or sound. I was expecting it to be faster as the specs are much better than my previous fire sticks, however to my utter surprise, it was infact much slower to browse through different apps and much more laggy in browsing through menus, I just hope maybe some firmware update will improve the same, however in current iteration it feels more like a downgrade than upgrade.Final Verdict :Well if you have a high quality UHD/4K TV, high speed broadband connections (I am using 1gbps connection), Netflix premium subscription, this is your first Fire Stick, techno-head and have an eye for detail, then I would say it’s a worthy pick, for everyone else normal Fire Stick would do just as good. This one definitely comes with additional buttons on remote and was bundled with Alexa, however the later was also added in previous Fire Sticks and stole that advantage as well. Maybe some firmware update in future will improve its performance or some considerable drop in price will make it a compelling buy but till than I am sticking to my previous fire sticks for all other devices.Thanks for reading !Update : The remote is extremely unresponsive, at times doesn’t work at all, or scrolling is continuos (you can’t stop it), already applied for the replacement, will comment once replaced.Update 2: 4K Fire Stick is just getting worse, it hangs even with 1gbps connection and modem less than 1m away from it, even worse it can’t stream movies from my NAS, which is again connected through same Wifi network. Most of the times if losses connectivity from router stating, No network available, surprisingly previous (2nd gen) Fires ticks works flawlessly on the same network, this one is also extremely slow and unresponsive, I have even reset it to factory defaults multiple times and result is same every time. What is more frustrating, that Amazon is not responding for replacement or refund, feeling duped by Amazon this time.Update 3 : After umpteen no. of attempts, endless conversations with customer care and spending hours with their technical support team, today I have finally returned their 4K Fire Stick device, as the review suggests, its totally not worth it, Hopefully Amazon launches a better, lag free, bugs free update and I might go for it, as for now, I have to contempt with the normal fire stick, 4K/UHD content has to wait.

Very very nice product. After using it i have disconnected my DTH connection as it is useless. If u have a good data pack with mobile or broadband or dungle then use fire stick, not DTH. Aftet TRAI new rule, it is exepensive to see the normal paid channels. I have a request to Jio to provide JioTV app for fire stick.

I have a 🔥TV (non 4K) which I found to be excellent and when the 4K version was stated for release, I pre ordered it. However, I am extremely disappointed with it. I have a 55 inch Android VU TV, 2018 model which supports 4k as evidenced by 4k videos from YouTube but for the fire stick 4k, the brightness and contrast was pre set to a dismal low value. It was too dark to watch. There is nothing in it to adjust my brightness and I gave up and went back to my fire TV non 4k one which atleast looks vibrant and joyful to watch. The 4k one is just appalling. I am sorry but Amazon totally let me down here.

Firstly I am the early adopter of the technology and bought Amazon Fire Stick when it was launched, currently using over 7 of them in all my TVs as well as my car, simply love the freedom of watching your favourite entertainment anywhere and everywhere.Now I was too excited to see Amazon launching their 4K fire stick as with due course of time, most of the TVs have been upgraded to 4k, however there so li’l content to watch in UHD, So I ordered this 4K Fire Stick last month when it was announced.Ordering and Delivery :It was such a long wait, It took more a month for Amazon to finally launch it and even more time in delivery, I was really disappointed with long wait and even more when it was available on delivery for next day, but I had to wait as I placed my order earlier.

Most of the times if losses connectivity from router stating, No network available, surprisingly previous (2nd gen) Fires ticks works flawlessly on the same network, this one is also extremely slow and unresponsive, I have even reset it to factory defaults multiple times and result is same every time. What is more frustrating, that Amazon is not responding for replacement or refund, feeling duped by Amazon this time.Update 3 : After umpteen no. of attempts, endless conversations with customer care and spending hours with their technical support team, today I have finally returned their 4K Fire Stick device, as the review suggests, its totally not worth it, Hopefully Amazon launches a better, lag free, bugs free update and I might go for it, as for now, I have to contempt with the normal fire stick, 4K/UHD content has to wait.
