Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max

Have used for around 2 years and worked perfectly. Suddenly a lot of apps were disabled and then the next thing is that the stick stopped working altogether. Turn it on and just get the Firestick start up logo. Spent hours trying everything recommended onlne, but nothing has worked. Amazon should not sell these as they appear to have a limited lifetime, so you will just fork out for a new one.

At the first I did not like user interface, though it may be subjective opinion. But, after spending 6 hours to set it up I realised it only supports very few languages. For me that was decisive point. I could not setup the additional language support in stock keyboard nor was able to install the third party one. Third party launcher was not working either. Why limit user to stock apps? st^pid. Show details

Firstly it took 3.5 hours of going around in circles to open an account so that it would work!! Next night I went to use it and it frose and would not turn on, dont listen to the good reviews as they are all AI fake reviews .. you get what you pay for and that is just an invasion of privacy by being forced into opening an account and giving them all of your personle details in the hope that it works .. it is trash and works when it wants too!! Show details

Rubbish – This is not 1080HD it's 740HD because when the TV comes on it shows you so it's B/S when they're saying full hd. No different to rubbish google stick. Nothing is free you have to pay for ever app on these B/S stick google or Amazon. Don't buy this and waste your money. Show details

Don't buy the Amazon Fire Stick – Worked good for the first few months, and then just stopped working completely when the warranty is up. I called Amazon , and they said if not working, bad luck warranty is up, so you can buy another one at a 20% discount. They should give me another one, as why would I want to buy one , if they stop working when the warranty is up. Waste of money, and a waste of a 30 min phone call. Show details

Digitial Conveniance – Not having a smart TV the firestick has been brilliant in getting all the streaming services in one place for convenience. The remote is simple to use, as is the interface. The only downside I have noticed is that the 'recommendations' on each app are not accurate. I can only surmise that is because I share some streaming with other people and I… Read more

am not the primary user, as such I seem to be seeing their 'recommendations'. A small price to pay to having all apps on one device and no longer having to try and stream things from my phone.
