Reception

[edit]

Dan Seifert from The Verge reviewed Fire TV on April iv, 2014, giving it an 8.eight/x rating and largely praising its functionality and future potential.^[67]
[68]
Dave Smith from ReadWrite wrote, “Fire Telly aims to be the cure for what ails Television set-top boxes.”^[69]
GeekWire editor Andy Liu’south review is headlined “Amazon’due south Burn TV sets a new bar for streaming boxes.”^[70]
Ars Technica praised the device for specifications that surpassed competitors, good build quality, and a microphone works very well if y’all utilise Amazon content. The reviewer disliked the fact that its media browser puts Amazon content in the front, which makes other applications less user-friendly to utilise, limited game selection with many games not optimized, and merely 5.16GB of free space, which limits the number of games that tin be installed.^[71]
