The remote supplied with the FireTV is limited compared to other remotes on the market. Which is the best alternative remote for the FireTV box, please?

You may be able to use your tv remote with HDMI CEC enabled

There’s an app on the phone that is awesome

When you say it's limited what do you feel is missing? The only thing I can think of myself is keyboard and I just use the phone app for that, which is rare, but for general navigation it seems to do everything, which I think is great for such a simple and clean remote.

Yeah, not sure what you are hoping for? If you want fully functioning, like a standard cable-box style remote, you won't get it. The FireTV is meant to work with a remote with only a handful of buttons. You could get a universal remote but it won't have much more functionality than the existing remote. The large keyboard remotes with give you mouse and keyboard functions, but that's about their only advantage.
