It kind of does what it claims, it's fine in a pinch. But the frequent lag and random constant disconnections can make using this app extremely frustrating. It's not uncommon to fast forward or rewind too far because you can't stop it due to lag or a disconnect, or accidentally back all the way out of an app because you think you missed hitting the back button when really there was like 5 seconds of lag. Again, fine in a pinch if your remote dies or something, but not really a permanent solution

update: 5 years later and it still sucks. Works properly 10% of the time. Disconnects constantly. Especially irritating when fastforwarding or rewinding and you cant stop it until you reconnect again...every time. It is not my internet provider, and all of my other apps and devices have no issues. Not a great app. Currently it is no longer recognizingg my fire stick, and I have re-signed in and rebooted both several times.

Update: The app is back working properly. I'm adding the additional two stars. This app is great! It's nice to have access to my Fire TV, especially when my wife Bogarts the remote control. Also, typing in search criteria is much easier with the app than the remote, unless you prefer using voice commands. You can even do that with the app.
