Fire TV Stick remote app for iPhone

Supported Yes — Remote Pro controls it

The Fire TV Stick runs Fire TV, which is a platform Remote Pro speaks natively — over your own WiFi, no extra hardware.

  • Fire TV works

Every Fire TV Stick — Lite, 4K, 4K Max — pairs with Remote Pro using the 4-digit PIN on screen, with no Amazon account needed. Read the volume note below first: it is a real limitation of Amazon’s protocol, not of this app.

Setup

Set it up in 4 steps

Your Fire TV Stick and your iPhone need to be on the same WiFi network. That is the only requirement — no dongle, no hub, no infrared.

  1. 1

    Put the iPhone and the Fire TV on the same WiFi network.

  2. 2

    Open Remote Pro and tap Scan. The Fire TV appears by its device name.

  3. 3

    Tap it. A 4-digit PIN appears on the TV screen — type it into Remote Pro. No Amazon account, no sign-in, no profile picking, no developer options and no ADB.

  4. 4

    Paired. Navigation, OK, back, home, menu, playback, sleep, and iPhone-keyboard typing into Fire TV search and password fields — the single best reason to use a phone as a Fire TV remote.

The honest part

What you should know before you install anything

Volume and channel do not work over the network on Fire TV — not in Remote Pro, and not in any other app. Amazon’s protocol simply has no volume command; the physical remote sends volume over infrared or HDMI-CEC to the television instead. Apps that show volume buttons anyway are failing silently. Remote Pro disables them and says why, and you use the TV’s own volume (or the TV brand’s app) alongside.

Fire TV devices stay network-awake in standby, so Remote Pro can wake one up — useful when the physical remote has vanished entirely.

An iPhone has no infrared blaster, so a television that is only controllable by infrared cannot be controlled by any phone app — ours or anyone else’s. We say that on every page rather than hide it in a review reply.

There is a free official app

The official Amazon Fire TV app is free and works well — after you sign into an Amazon account and pick a profile. If you would rather not log in, or it is not your Amazon account, Remote Pro pairs with the device itself.

One remote for the Fire TV Stick — and every other TV you own

Remote Pro controls Samsung, Fire TV, Android TV / Google TV and Roku from one app, over your own WiFi. Full D-pad, volume where the platform supports it, and a real iPhone keyboard for search fields.
