I can take all my streaming services with any fire stick (lite in this case), Spotify and my Apple movies and tv shows with me wherever I go without having to take my bulky Apple TV. It is nice having the login for these apps to not have to type in my passwords with the remote.\n\nPicture and sound are good. Nothing is distorted that I’ve noticed so far. And no buffering on my stick with my wifi connection. I managed to set up a Bluetooth headset so I can listen to music or watch something without waking someone up at night.\n\nIt is pretty easy to use and set up and customize this to my needs. I have a couple old and newer flat screens that all have worked well so far without causing issues (tested my 19 inch, 32 inch and both 43 inch tvs I have at my place, stated earlier no distortion or blurs).\n\nIf I had to change one thing it would be my customized bar that is located near the top of the screen, it would be make it so I can fit more apps from my streaming services on that line.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Simple easy setup and integration with streaming services. I don't currently use alexa as home control but both fire sticks hooked to different sets in the house control streaming requests for our tv's very well."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'We have had 5 of these FireSticks for two TVs..... over the past year. We stream video via an Eero system(4 routers) at 140Mb D, 16 U.Our previous FireStick exhibited the same problem as others, i.e., would not sign into any network. After a cold reboot, it would work(unplugging power to the stick and re-plugging it in.) A new Firestick showed no anomaly. I suspect that the "buffering" ability of our previous Firesticks has gone down the tubes, but cannot determine this. Early attempts to contact & Query Amazon QA proved useless, so we\'ve fallen back to throwing the malfunctioning unit and buying a new unit. C\'est la guerre.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "Bought this last week. Just got covid and I'm really sick. The remote isnt working.\nIn 6 years I never had this problem with my Roku. I will be returning it as soon as I feel better. I'm so angry right now I'll probably never buy another Amazon device"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This Fire Stick is lightning fast - especially when compared to our MUCH older one that took forever to respond. I chose the one with no TV controls, so it does not have volume control (hence, the 1-star rating on that). I love that it has buttons for a few subscription services (Hulu, Prime TV, Netflix, Disney+), but I wish ESPN was included. The 3-star rating on "easy to install" is due to the fact that it immediately required updates, and that took way too long. Now that it\'s installed, it was well-worth the price.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "My old firestick quit. So I had to buy a new one .it works absolutely great two problems no volume on the remote, and the Alexa on it dont work. So I'm very disappointed about that .I wouldn't buy this one if you want a remote. This one is useless...the remote is like not having one oh well the Netflix- primevideo- buttons work...haha"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This was very to install I thought it was going to be a little hard but it was easy and that's saying something for somebody that doesn't know a lot about technology"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I am bit sad after i bought it next day price went from $30 to $20 wtf amazon? (lite version)\nBut what ever thats consumer life it was worth $30.\nI got 50 inch tv for free so technically i got a smart tv for $30 can't beat that right?\nI mainly got it for my aunt I take care of her she mainly watches the tv. i let her use my account on the fire stick i usually use my PC for my smart tv lol. It does alot more than fire stick will do for the foreseeable future. Though it does a good enough job for what it is, kinda kills the reason to own a fire tablet so if you want to have a 50 inch screen or larger fire tablet, fire stick is the way to go. You can play your fire tablet games on it to which is pretty nifty. (use the remote as a game controller) browse internet and all that stuff you did on your fire tablet, fire stick will do it to. Overall I'd recommend it if you want more channels than antenna gives or cheaper way to watch movies than cable etc then you can't go wrong with this route if you a prime member you will indeed get more joy out of it."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'It works well, and is a good way to give your "dumb" TV some smarts! I\'m not a fan of anything voice activated or controlled. So, have no opinion on those features. The best thing about it, is, I can use my Hotspot on my mobile for it to recieve wifi signals. Hotspot are usually a part of unlimited data plans from carriers. So, no need for an in home wifi router. Also, note, not all mobiles have hotspot feature, though, most do. I mainly bought this for streaming my Amazon Prime Videos, & Hulu accounts. Screen mirroring or casting doesn\'t work for many of the bigger streaming services, due to DMCA restrictions, unless, you use a plug in like Fire Stick, or other comparable devices. So, rather than trying to stream from my mobile device, it\'s infinitely easier to just let the mobile provide the wifi signal, and that way, DMCA is satisfied. It took me a few years to finally figure this out! LOL'}]
