Handy when you lose the remote

I do find this app handy for when I can't find the remote, but it doesn't seem to connect when trailers play or when trying to click off a programme before it automatically plays the next episode (on Netflix). It's so frustrating. No problems with connecting when I'm browsing or during a programme/film, only when it ends. This needs to be fixed for a higher rating. EDIT: this problem was fixed! Or at least I haven't had this problem for about a week maybe two so I've noticed improvements... but since last night the app won't connect at all. Tried checking for updates, tried restarting my phone... not working! Hopefully it's just an update that's not been made available yet making it mess around. I'll keep checking for updates and will edit review if/when it's working again.

Could Be So Much Better

We went away and took the Fire Stick but forgot the remote, I hoped there would be an app for it and was pleased to find this. My expectations should have been lower. First off It was nice and simple to connect to the stick but once connected I found myself having to use a large area of the screen as a navigation pad, this made it both clunky and overly sensitive causing me to swipe rapidly past what I wanted several times almost like using a mouse without a mousepad instead using a piece of paper.
I was chuffed to find that there was a keyboard which is far better than the usual remote and click click clicking which I've always found annoying. However to my surprise the keyboard refuses to type certain letters rendering the facility practically useless. So overall it's ok in an emergency but really think they need to sort out the basics like the keyboard working & overhaul the weird navigation. I would use it in more than just emergency situations if that were the case.

Better than nothing

Better than the useless remote supplied with the stick where the battery lasts a few hours. But very annoyingly needs to reconnect every time the phone goes to screen lock - after 2 minutes. Reconnection takes a minute so no good for pausing to take a call or answer the door. Let's have an option to keep it connected until I want to quit.
Also the sign out button is in a very bad place! So easy to accidentally press. This should be buried in a setting. So Ok but could be much better, and should be, given the supplied remote is useless.
