Title: Fast, compact and yes, APK compatible!
Review: I was a Roku fan for many years and would probably have kept using it if one of my Roku devices hadn’t suddenly stopped working. I was thinking to get another one, a newer model, improved one, but while browsing Amazon found its real competitor – FireStick 4K Max which was on almost 50% sale so I had to try it. Well, in few words – overall not even a second of disappointment. First of all I wanted to mention – all my Rokus are not the latest models, so there is no surprise the latest 4K Max really beats my other devices in speed and performance. I am pretty sure the latest Roku works as fast but can’t confirm it. Probably, and I won’t try to say Roku isn’t good or any worse at all since I couldn’t compare latest apples to another brand latest apples yet. Yes, this 4K FireStick is FAST! Very fast! Navigating through the apps and channels is seamless with unbelievably quick response. And there is a certain feature I discovered that definitely over performs the Roku, and this feature is a game changer for me and my personal approach to streaming devices today. Roku is a device that runs under its own ecosystem, and in basic words its operating system won’t allow me any side apps to be installed and enjoyed. Whatever Roku has in its database can be installed directly from their store and you basically stuck with the only official apps they offer in the store. And I was pleasantly surprised that FireStick did allow me to download and install the third party APK file for the APP I’ve been using for I don’t know how many years, and that APP had to be installed on my laptop which was connected to my TV allowing me to use it and watch my streams on a big screen. It still worked for me, but wasn’t as convenient since I now have that app installed directly on my FireStick. And this is a big reason why I will probably start gradually switching my streaming devices to Fire devices. To be honest I’m not a geek in streaming devices, so can’t really have any serious discussions about how come is it possible, but seems to me that Fire OS installed on all fire devices is connected to or somehow compatible with Android, allowing to work with APK files. And the compatibility with APK files gives the FireStick virtually unlimited possibilities, allowing it to be used beyond the official store. In my opinion, this gives it an edge today. The stick itself is very compact, plugs directly into an HDMI port and ready to use right out of the box. Love the idea as many of other Amazon devices it was preset before arrival and I did not have to set up my account for a new device (of course Amazon asked me first if I want to link it to my account before arrival). Another life changer was found in a box – a short HDMI extension cord. My TV is packed with HDMI cables – home theater system, another TV box, game console etc. TV is placed on a wall with the simplest wall mount which doesn’t tilt. And trust me it looks awesome, and keeps my TV as close as possible to the wall (just the way I want it). It works great until I need to do something behind the TV, like hooking a new device for example. So, I literally had only one HDMI port available, of course it was in between of other HDMI ports, and other HDMI ports cables wouldn’t allow me to plug the FireStick directly to the TV for only one simple reason – the sticks body is wider than any of the cables and there is no way to plug it in between of other HDMI cables. And provided extension cable gave me the opportunity to do it hassle free without removing the TV from the wall and thinking of changing my set up. Such a simple thing but gave me a huge relief to simplify my setup process! Remote: besides standard buttons it has 4 preprogrammed ones that direct you straight to the one of your preferred (most popular) streaming services. I don’t use 2 of them and now thinking if I am able to reprogram those unused buttons to work with the apps I want (not sure if it’s possible though but common sense tells me it should work somehow, just still need to make a research I guess). Voice control or Alexa button attracted my attention as well and it is also a live changer for me. I don’t type anymore trying to find my favorite movie, I just say and it works. While watching I don’t have to shout over the TV anymore to make my other Alexa devices to hear me. I just press the button and she hears me right away. Also using my new remote I basically don’t need my original tv and home theater remotes anymore (well, almost lol). FireStick remote allows me to control my tv environment (on/off, volume etc.). The only downside I experience with the remote I wish it has backlit buttons, or anything that improves visibility at a dark. I have to use my phones flashlight on evenings or ask Alexa to turn the lights on while playing with the remote. A bit inconvenient and definitely needs an improvement. Channels and apps: nothing to complain about here. Apps can be placed in any order I prefer so I don’t have to navigate through ton of them looking for a one I need. A lot of free channels, paid ones, free cloud games (really decent ones). I bought a pair of PS5 compatible game controllers and was able to easy pair them through Bluetooth with the stick. Whole process took about 10 seconds. Please note that FireSticks Bluetooth is kind of demanding – I couldn’t make it work with my simple Bluetooth keyboard – some requirements were not met and it didn’t work for me. But I was able to install a fire tv app on my phone and use it as a keyboard which definitely simplifies my browsing experience. So just great! A lot of power, performance and convenience in one little device. Oh yes, WiFi 6 compatibility gives me something to think about a future – this stick will be good for years, many years. I truly don’t think I will be back with any other competitive devices anymore (never know lol but) and since I’m trying to setup an Amazon ecosystem around my house, this further strengthens my confidence. Highly recommended product! As said the remote buttons dark environment visibility issue is still in tact, but for this price, ton of features, ability to install APK files and Alexa integration I can live with that backlit concern and still leaving it 5 stars in my rating. By the way truly believe this backlit issue definitely will be fixed in future models and we will be probably offered to buy an extra remote separately. We will see. Of course if anything goes wrong I will post an update here later but certainly not today. Hope someone will find my review helpful.

Title: Compact, packed with features, works perfectly
Review: It was finally time to replace my 10-year old first generation Fire TV, and I definitely had years of great use from that, and am looking forward to years of service from this fire stick. I connected this to my main TV in the family room.- Price is fantastic for such a feature packed device- Plugs right into the back of my television, plug and play, up and running with no hassle in just a few minutes- Plenty of memory to meet all my needs- Remote connects instantly, works flawlessly, has a voice button and app shortcut buttons, and batteries are even included- Interface is the same as I’m used to on my other Amazon Fire TV devices- Includes a short flexible HDMI connection cable for ease of connection when space is limited at the back of the TV.Overall works so well and price is so good, I will probably buy another one for my TV in the spare bedroom.

Title: used to replace a Firestick Lite
Review: I did not know how cumbersome and slow my older Firestick Lite had become until I bought this and started using it.Everything is working much better and much faster. I have Tablo for local channels. I have an outdoor antenna for those local channels. I was struggling to be happy with Tablo. It seemed glitchy and very slow.Once I updated to this 4k Firestick Max everything became faster. I am sure this has a lot to do with additional storage space and the better processor. With the Firestick Lite I tried to avoid Tablo and just used the antenna input on my TV. Kind of a bummer without a guide. However, With the 4k Firestick Max I am able to enjoy the Tablo menus, the life guide, recording local channels and everything else about Tablo. I also feel many of the other apps I have on the new Max stick are working better and faster. Loving this 4k Firestick max even though I do not have a 4k TV.

Title: Great Upgrade for Streaming: Fast, Clear 4K with Easy Access to Free TV
Review: I recently upgraded to the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and I’m really impressed with its performance! Setting it up was a breeze—just plug it in, connect to Wi-Fi, and you’re good to go. The 4K streaming quality is crystal clear, and I love that it supports Wi-Fi 6E, which means faster speeds and a more stable connection. Watching my favorite shows on streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+ has never been smoother. The remote is intuitive, with easy access to voice controls through Alexa, making it simple to find content or control playback without lifting a finger.Another major perk is the ability to access free and live TV without the need for cable or satellite. The Fire TV Stick makes it easy to explore a variety of free channels, including news, sports, and entertainment, which is a huge bonus for cord-cutters like me. While the device does a fantastic job overall, I did notice a slight delay when launching apps or switching between them, but it’s nothing that affects my overall enjoyment. For the price, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is a great value for anyone looking to enhance their home entertainment setup. Highly recommend!
