Community Reviews

The Fire TV Stick 4K Max stands out for keeping Android based Fire TV OS support, including Developer Mode, Downloader, and sideloading through Apps from Unknown Sources. It also adds Wi Fi 6E and access to Amazon Luna games at no extra charge, which makes it appealing for streaming and casual gaming. The main drawbacks are Amazon's tighter control, with updates blocking third party launchers and reducing customization while the interface fills with ads. Promo pricing also appears account dependent, so the deal may not apply everywhere, making it a practical pick if those limits do not matter.

  • The Fire TV Stick 4K Max 2nd gen can support side-loading by enabling Developer Options and Apps from Unknown Sources.

  • The device can run third-party apps on the Android-based Fire TV OS version 8.1.4.9.

  • The deal can be easier to redeem when an account coupon is available for the $30 promo price.

  • Luna games can be included at no additional charge, which can add value for interested players.

  • Amazon updates can reduce customization by blocking ADB and third-party launchers, forcing use of the Amazon launcher.

  • Some third-party apps can be restricted on Fire TV, which can lead to switching to other devices like ONN.

  • The Fire TV UI can become heavily cluttered with ads, which can hurt day-to-day usability.

  • A promotional code attempt can fail with an error stating the promotional code cannot be applied.

I'm really curious why people would even want a Firestick anymore seeing how Amazon keeps updating them and killing customization. I've been using Google TV and been happy keeping my Projectivy launcher running consistently.
.. not to mention that the UI has become so heavily cluttered with ads.

Guess I came out lucky since my account was eligible to redeem the $30 promo price. Not sure if I intend to use it though.

Amazon Luna games if you are interested. For example, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is included at no additional charge on Luna. That's why I ordered mine even though I am happy with my Google TV.
Wow I didnt know Amazon have their own set of games like netflix. ill have to see if they come with subscription or prime or something. That might get me interested

Yes, they all are under amerzons control and snooping. They are actively used in identifying what you watch, and provide that info to any one who needs the info.

Get some thing else if you want to actually own the device and your data. I trust the china boxes more than the these guys. You say you don't care about side loading? fine, but do you value your privacy? Get a Apple box then because they seem to protect that. Skrewgle and amershawn are getting your info one way or the other..

BTW, I have owned every scamerzon box ever made except the 3rd gen cube. It took them years before we had a device that had more than 8gb storage (4 useable). It took years of complaining, and a lot of folks jumped on the max and cube models to get anything more than the 8gb. Now it is a curse if you are being monitored and reported. Just say No.. BTW this includes the screwgle tv os as well.

Some models of early ONN boxes are rootable and have custom firmware that you as a owner control so you dont have to go the china box route or you can get a Raspberry pi and put linage on it, but that requires a learning curve that seems ridicules, but that is where we are at today..
Are you trying to say "amazon"? what is "amerzons"? "scamerzon"?

Glad you can figure it out. I mis-spell for effect as well as not to show up in searches. No need to spell crap products and give out free publicity.

The ones based on Android still allow third party apps. The new OS Vega OS that breaks it

"Amazon keeps updating them," is a bad thing?? Have no idea why I'd want to customize my Fire Stick. Just want to turn it on and have it work like most folks.
