Apple TV app not compatible with Various Fire TVs (including devices that should be)

I have 6 Fire TV devices: One Fire TV Sound bar, 3 Fire Sticks and two Fire TV boxes but only ONE Fire Stick and the Sound bar are compatible. I am paying for the Apple TV app but cannot use it on the main Fire TV devices used in my house. Why does the Apple TV app not work on some various Fire TV devices? Can this be fixed with an Apple Update?
