Remote for Fire TV & FireStick

Control Fire TV from an Android phone

Remote for Fire TV & FireStick turns an Android phone into a remote for Fire TV devices. It is suited to people who want an alternative to the physical remote, especially when typing, searching, or navigating apps is easier from a phone. The app supports Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Box, Fire TV Cube, and other Fire TV devices.

Remote controls and phone keyboard

Once connected, the app provides the main controls expected from a Fire TV remote, including navigation, selection, playback, volume adjustment, and power control. Its phone keyboard can make searches and text entry less awkward than using the on-screen keyboard. You can also create quick access to frequently used channels and apps, while an auto-connect option can help the phone reconnect to the Fire device.

Mirroring and casting options

Beyond remote control, the app can mirror the Android screen to Fire TV and cast photos or videos stored on the phone. Screen mirroring requires the companion Screen Mirroring for Fire TV receiver app on the TV device. This makes the app useful for showing personal media or sharing phone content on a larger screen, provided the Fire TV setup supports the required receiver.

Connection requirements and user feedback

The phone and Fire TV must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. ADB debugging must also be enabled on the Fire device before the first connection. If the device is not found, checking the network connection, restarting Fire TV, or reinstalling the app may help. Developed by BoostVision, the app has a 4.15/5 rating from 85,126 reviews and more than 5,000,000 installs.
