Pros & Cons
Pros
It's my reliable floater unit that has traveled with us everywhere. It's not 4k, but the hd picture should be enough for most people. The remote (no alexa) still works great.
Cons
Slow load times for apps, kicks out of app back to home screen randomly, fails to detect wifi on initial load. I know issue is with firestick because it is the only device that fails to see wifi in room where device is located.
Buyer beware. Perhaps amazon, like a grocery store, likes to move products around. Isn't bezos rich enough?
The audio un-syncs constantly. When disconnecting the external speakers, this no longer occurs. Choppy stop and go playback with intermittent sound.
I recommend roku over firestick because it is much more stable. Roku is sooo much better and more reliable. Should've got a roku. The roku still works quickly, but no longer works on my wifi.
Highlights
Quality
I purchased the fire tv stick five years ago to transform my old dumb tv set into a smart tv and i am very happy with the result.
The voice recognition in stream quality was great
So please do so with the home button.
Price
I like the product and the price is very good.
Competitiveness
I have jail broken it myself and it is still standing strong beating 3 of my roku’s over the years.
