No doubt that Amazon FireTV Stick LITE is a great product 👍🏻, since it is very affordable, easily setup, intuitive interface, up and running 🏃🏻 without any mandatory 🔗 subscriptions, great quality WiFi receiver 📶 etc.
One can easily go through this product's own feature-list 📰, and also go though many praises in user reviews 📝. Amazon's FireTV Stick Developers did a great job. Hats 🤠 off to the team.
However 🤔, within 2-3 weeks of use, I did stumble upon a few short comings which are worth noting to be fair ⚖️. These are:
👉🏻 Not Android apps Library:
FireTV has its own OS. So all the Android apps that you find on your Mobile's Google Play Store are not magically available for FireTV.
✨ I wish FireTV had an easy way for the app developers to port their apps from Android OS to FireTV OS.
👉🏻 Resolution Scaling:
Even if FireTV LITE is HD, and your TV is HD, since you desire to make your old TV smart, chances are that there's an aspect ratio mismatch. A picture 🖼️ is worth a thousand words, so I am simply demonstrating it in the attached 📎 pic. and leaving it to your understanding.
✨ I wish that there was no resolution scaling resulting in Full HD experience to all Full HD TV owners.
👉🏻 WiFi-Network Switching not Seamless:
If you have two WiFis 📶📶, or more practically speaking 🙊, one 1️⃣ Home-WiFi and second 2️⃣ Mobile-Hotspot. Now, in case, your Home-WiFi goes down and within a few seconds you switch-ON the Mobile-Hotspot, you'll find yourself waiting ⌛ and hoping 🙏🏻 that the FireTV OS switches to the available Hotspot in time.
✨ I wish that the WiFi-Network switching was Seamless and Quick.
👉🏻 Many Suggested Apps not yet India 🇮🇳🛺 Ready:
Amongst top 20 or so entertainment (TV shows) apps that FireTV interface suggested me, and after installing 2-3 of those, I found 🧐 that those were simply not allowing me to watch the content - as if those apps were blocking the content by country's IP - may be those work fine in the USA 🇺🇲🗽.
✨ I wish that such apps clearly indicate the reason for not showing the content, and are filtered out for India by default.
👉🏻 Home Screen personalization has a lot of Scope for Improvement:
After viewing/using a couple or so apps much more frequently than other apps, the 1st row of home 🏡 screen 🖥️ always displays the same apps as defined by Amazon.
Also, 50% of the Home Screen real estate is occupied by advertisements.
✨ I wish that the advertisements on the home screen occupied less space, and the 1st row of home screen apps prioritised my recent+most-used apps.
👉🏻 Remote too Fragile:
✨ I wish that the outer material used for the remote was somewhat more shatter-proof 🔨🚫 material, and the outer corners ↖️↗️ had some rubber/silicon padding.
👉🏻 Expensive Remote Replacement:
Upon searching 🔎 on Amazon itself for the FireTV's spare remote, so far I only found 3rd party (after market) products. While the cost of old TV remotes start at around ₹300 or so, and AC remotes with LCD display start at around ₹400, FireTV Stick LITE replacement remotes start at around ₹1,500.
✨ I wish that it was possible to buy replacement remotes from Amazon itself, and at a reasonable price - even if Amazon wants to verify the customer as past FireTV buyer.
👉🏻 FireTV Stick Mobile app Quality:
The quality of Mobile 📱 app of FireTV Stick app is so basic that you would wish that it was never available in the first place.
✨ I wish that at minimum, the app provides a touch 'n tap functionality for a pointer navigation on the TV since using arrow-keys on the remote is too cumbersome. In addition, it would be great if the Mobile app made it possible to search and install FireTV Stick apps - categorised in a Google Play Store style.
For the above shortcomings, I am withholding only 1-star, and generously awarding 4-stars to FiteTV Stick LITE ⭐🌟⭐🌟.
Finally, here are some tips, which I hope the users would find useful:
💡 TIP: I find HDMI Port always ON as long as TVs power cord is plugged-in and switched-ON, even when the TV is switched OFF from the remote. Also, I am guessing that most of the users might be leaving the USB adaptor switched ON at the same time. Eventually the FireTV Stick LITE is going to have a shorter life. Please plan on switching OFF the TV and the FireTV USB adaptor each time you are not viewing the TV.
💡 TIP: Ease of Installation at the Cost of some Security Risk.
Not so long ago, the WiFi/login details of some customers of a home security camera of a popular brand (Google it and you'll be shocked) were misused by handful of employees of the manufacturer. Eventually those employees were fired. The lesson learnt is that never over-trust company servers to store passwords/credentials that they are not meant to - and remember those passwords by heart.
💡 TIP: If the Speaker Sound Quality of the old TV doesn't feel satisfactory, one can always connect a separate Bluetooth Speaker to FireTV Stick LITE.
💡 TIP: FireTV Stick LITE also allows many other compatible Bluetooth devices to be connected. For example you can connect a Bluetooth Mouse, and have an enhanced experience with many apps.
💡 TIP: Flexible, Shock-absorbant Remote Covers with Strap are available on Amazon - will prove to be good protection ☂️ for this investment.
💡 TIP: Always follow on-screen and/or printed instructions 📃 provided with the FireTV Stick, instead of following any 3rd person 🦜 with possibly outdated or inaccurate instructions.
