About Amazon Certified Refurbished Fire TV Stick 4K Max streaming device
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
71% appreciated the connectivity options, but 29% wished more
I faced issues with the remote of one of the tablets. It went through a set of batteries every 24 hours and one set the remote wont connect at all.
I have been experiencing issues with the stream locking up when I launch YouTube TV on the new Firestick, even after rebooting and ensuring a good wifi connection. Interestingly, I have no other issues with 2 other Firesticks. However, when I hooked up the old Firestick, the stream worked perfectly.
Certain apps need to be sideloaded, even if they are available for other devices in the Google Play Store.
64% liked the remote control, but 36% didn't
I can now use my phone as a remote control, although I'm not sure why I would want to.
The remote control that comes with the Fire Stick has volume buttons, but they only control a TV via IR, not the Fire Stick's volume.
The remote control batteries only last for 2-3 days. I have wasted a box of batteries in less than a month. I remove the batteries when I am out using the fire stick to make them last longer.
The streaming media player lags constantly, randomly boots out of whatever I'm doing, and stops responding to the control (both the remote and the app).

73% praised the streaming options, but 27% didn't
I can handle all streaming options on the device, including streaming apps and personal content using Kodi or Plex.
I bought this streaming device to access Spectrum TV streaming service, which was not available on my Google streaming device.
I have to replace the batteries daily to keep it working, indicating that the remote consumes batteries quickly and has a problem with it.
When I launch YouTube TV on this device, the stream keeps locking up.
73% liked the intuitive user interface, but 27% found it cluttered
I am frustrated with the Fire Stick's user interface, especially the ads and lack of a better UI. There used to be an option to install a better UI and avoid ads on the home screen, but it's no longer available.

71% found the voice control convenient, but 29% faced issues
There used to be a way of installing a better UI and avoiding ads on the home screen, but it's no longer available.
I am unable to use the voice control feature because the remote does not have a matching button or a speaker dot to speak into.
