  1. Sadly this version will not function properly on a Firestick or FireTV. It will only work properly on an android tablet or phone. The version 11 apparently requires touch and will not ‘select’ items, and will not bring up a keyboard to search . Also cannot log in. There apparently is a separate CBC GEM app for Firestick / FireTV. If you can obtain it, please make it available somehow. This version is not useable .
