Setup guide Buy now

Taplist.io works fantastically on the Amazon Signage Stick: rock-solid performance and operational simplicity, built on Amazon's Fire TV hardware. It runs a single app, the Taplist.io app, with no consumer apps for staff to wander into.

Pros

Purpose-built for signage: one app, nothing else to wander into
Relaunches Taplist.io on its own after a power cut or reboot
Manage many screens from Amazon's signage console

Cons

Sold in the US only at the moment
Costs a little more than a Fire TV Stick

Best for: Set-and-forget menus, from one screen to a whole chain.

Lower cost

Amazon Fire TV

Setup guide Buy 4K Max

Taplist.io was the very first signage app on Fire TV, with millions of hours of stable, worry-free experience since 2016. We recommend any Fire OS-based Fire TV device. Our top choice is the Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Gen); the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus (2025) costs less while Amazon still sells it.

Pros

Inexpensive and sold everywhere, often with same-day delivery
Proven on thousands of menus since 2016
Fire TV smart TVs work the same way

Cons

A consumer device: staff can open other apps
Must be a Fire OS model; see the notice below

Best for: Budget installs, and venues outside the US.

Be sure to select a Fire TV device that runs Fire OS. At this time, we recommend avoiding the following devices, which run Amazon's Vega OS which does not work well with signage applications like Taplist.

Fire TV Stick 4K Select (2025)
Fire TV Stick HD (2026)
Fire TV Stick 4K, 3rd generation (2026)

Inexpensive and widely available
Simple to set up

Cons

Supported TVs

What TV displays are Taplist.io compatible with?

Taplist.io works with most modern TVs. Minimum requirements:

HDMI input, connected to one of the supported streaming devices listed above.
1080p resolution capable.

For a top-of-the-line install, we recommend using a commercial display. These devices are built and certified for the demands of digital signage. However, most of our customers use standard, off-the-shelf retail TVs without any reported issues.

A Smart TV is not required. In fact, because there are so many different types of Smart TVs and because their quality and capabilities vary so widely, we do not recommend or provide support for running Taplist.io directly on a smart TV, unless the TV is itself a Fire TV device.

Instead, we recommend purchasing and using one of the streaming devices above, regardless of your panel's Smart TV support.
