Remote Control for Sony TVs for Negative User Reviews
✓ It’s a scam.Once you open the app, there’s only one button, “Send Feedback”. Don’t waste your time..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Keypad button doesn’t workEverything works well except the keypad button. When it is pressed nothing appears on the tv screen. My tv is connected to the router by Ethernet cable. I shouldn’t have wasted my money buying the advertisement free version..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Won’t allow me to use on my tvMy tv is a Sony tv and this is for Sony tv, and it shows that their are no TVs in the area that are Sony, it is really confusing me since there are so many good reviews, but doesn’t work for me???Maybe I’m doing something wrong but I don’t know, all I know for now is it’s not working.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Doesn’t workWaste of time it doesn’t work! Don’t bother. It’s zero star.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Boo. Shame on youLatest update throws previously available features behind a pay wall. Who the hell will pay $32.99 for this buggy garbage.Version: 1.0.7
✓ Too many addsNot useable due to amount of ads unless you pay to get rid of them..Version: 1.0.3
✓ DODGYDoesn’t work.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Doesn’t always workA great tool when it connects to the tv. I have a toddler who does not allow me to keep the remotes handy. So I use this app as needed. I would say half the time the app isn’t connecting to the tv even though the tv would be on. When it does connect it works great but getting it to work everytime doesn’t happen..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Sony stop trying to fix your softwareYou are the worst company when it comes to software. Even that Xbox has better software Nice job.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Complete garbageDont bother its just adds.Version: 1.0.5
✓ SCAMThis App is a Scam. Please don’t even think of downloading this crap..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Works okAll works no problems.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Connects and nothing. Requesting refundCrap.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Baird1949It just will not recognise my Bravia TV under any circumstances..Version: 1.0.8
✓ 🤡Every 15 buttons I press an ad 10 second ad pops up and when I close it opens safari for the ad. Most of the good features on the app cost a lot of money and whenever I switch back to the app it disconnects.Version: 1.2
✓ Doesn’t workI have a Sony Bravia TV. It is connected to the same wifi network as my iPad. Kept saying “Send Feedback”. Immediately deleted. Don’t waste your time..Version: 1.0.4
✓ NopeWhat’s the point in a remote that cannot turn the tv on because it needs the tv ON ALREADY in order to send the pin..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Subscribed but app still have ads and additional feature lockedPaying for nothing !.Version: 1.0.8
✓ 3/5Too many ads popping up!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Good but needs improvements and bug fixesAs above the app is very good and intuitive however it could do with the ability to wake the TV from standby after a prolonged period of time. Apple TV has the ability to do this through the remote app so it’s clearly doable. It would also be nice to have a widget with volume controls and maybe one or two other most used functions to speed up the process. EDIT: The app seems to work sporadically after the TV has been off for a period of time. In these cases the app seems to stop working completely even when it is on. Then suddenly starts to work again..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Better than the one that came with the TVWorks just great right away from the start. Wish for macro buttons to set auto off timer to a specified length without having to push 15 things to set the TV to turn off in an hour. Way too much work..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Rubbish appUseless app soon as you download just come up with feedback page nothing else showing. Totally rubbish..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Total waste of timeIt simply doesn’t work.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Doesn't workYou need to confirm the pin on the TV to connect, but the pin only appears when you put in an incorrect pin..Version: 1.0.8
✓ RubbishDon’t bother! You will waste time.Version: 1.0.5
✓ RubbishDoesn’t even start.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Super laggyThis remote is extremely laggy. Actions are performed 3-5 seconds after you click on a button. Absolute TRASH!.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Yeah nah I’m not paying you $28This app was fine and I was willing to put up with occasional ads because I don’t use it that much. Now I go to open it for the first time in a month and pause is a suddenly a “premium” feature you want me to pay $28 to use - not even forever but for a year. There are heaps of apps that do exactly what this one does so uninstalled. I’m glad I already knew that this app was a bit buggy and not worth the ridiculous money they’re asking for..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Avoid this app !!!!!!!!!!!!Tried to connect doesn’t show pin jus avoid it.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Annoying addsToo many adds, ruins the experience. Add free purchase is too expensive for what it is. I will be deleting this app..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Sony remoteHardly ever works.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Doesn’t workAll it says is feedback and the app doesn’t work.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Darwin77Tried this control to get my network password into my Sony Bravia TV as for some reason Sony’s own remote won’t accept text input. Unless you buy it, the app keeps coming up with adverts while you are trying to input the data. Then once my network password was on my TV, there was no way of entering it into the TV. All a but crap really. To be fair, it did turn the volume up and down etc. But don’t get it if you want more functionality. Going to try others now as this one is just frustrating..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Running FaultIt doesn’t do anything. Don’t download it totally waste of time. Only ask for feed back..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Does not workTv and iPhone in same WiFi network, app cannot find my TV.Version: 1.0
✓ Do not use this appI paid to have the adds removed and then it stopped working after 2 weeks.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Paid for premium and still getting ads galorePaid for premium on this app and adds shut off for several days and ate now back after I purchased the whole year this is terrible.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Super slowTakes awhile to register using any of the buttons like my phone shows i clicked the volume up button an it takes awhile to actually turn the volume up on my tv idk if it gets faster or not on the paid version i only used free version.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Ads and copy cat apps in AppStoreThey abuse UI glitches to force full screen ads that you can’t close, even after the counter reach 0 They abuse Apple Store by having their apps under different names This show a low ethics and I wouldn’t trust the apps and the developer..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Doesn’t workI wanted this for my Sony home theatre system. It finds the device no problem but there is no way to get the pin that it requires, nothing displays on the tv screen..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Not goodDoes not work it does not get on the remote.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Waste of moneyDon’t bother didn’t work Can’t get past feedback screen..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Doesn’t workOnly worked once..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Midgrade reliability, steals data from your phoneStayed on as a user because this app connects well with a bravia tv. Very frustrated to see the contents of my clipboard stolen every time I open the app. Stop this with a fix now..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Rubbish appI wanted an app that was more streamlined than the "official sony TV sideview" app since they've seemed to have stripped out features while adding bloatware all the time! However, this app only controls tv channels and info guide. Plus the ads are very annoying as they cover the entire screen with every button selection. The tv input settings didn’t work, analog/tv settings.. tbh i gave up after that and just deleted. Edit: I've seen people mention the feedback screen issue upon start up, basically you have to wait for the app to find the TV, problem is the app doesn't give any indication that its searching, which I found can take up to a couple of minutes. Crap UI design..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Paid 5 bucks for inconvenienceThe app would not recognize the tv if the tv is off. Thus, I can’t use the app to turn on the tv. I have to use the Sony remote to turn on the tv in-order to use the app. What is the point of this app if I have to use the factory remote. I sent feed back to the developer and get nothing back. I love to support developers for good apps, but I got fool this time..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Volume issuesThe app worked and then after the update every time i try to adjust the volume a few notches up or down it goes all the way down or all the way up (which is startling in the middle of the night to say the least). Super annoying, hope they fix the issue soon!.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Awful waste of timeDoes not find other devices…. It’s rubbish.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Obtrusive AdsVery obtrusive full page ads that pop-up without warning. This is a problem as you are looking at the TV and just start clicking away on ads before you realize the remote is no longer working..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Doesn’t connect that wellWhen I try turning my tv on with it, it works, but somtimes doesn’t, plus the adds are inappropriate so I wouldn’t say this is the best app, choose another..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Need more improvementsAds are kinda mood killer. The keyboard don’t type on the screen at all. The touch scroll is nice but needs improvement for further scrolls. Needs more options for buttons like Netflix and youtube quick pick. And biggest thing would be adding voice command for like sony’s original remote..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Scam don’t downloadOnce I downloaded it - the only option was to send feedback.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Will give rating when issue solved.How can I use remote app to enable wifi on TV ? My Sony remote won’t work anymore 😢 tried everything. It’s dead. I downloaded this app, yet cannot interact with TV. To do that I must have both on same network. I need remote to put TV on network..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Unusable without their subscriptionApparently the money they got from the ads wasn’t enough. Now most of the functions are disabled unless you pay their ransom of $20/year. This application won’t dramatically change in one year’s time, so why the subscription? Greed. Subscriptions make sense for applications that change over time. This one will not. Deleted..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Worthless appDO NOT download this! I bought the premium version, and it is still terrible! The lag time from when you push the button to when the tv responds is 10-12 seconds. Also, it will frequently disconnect from the tv (every 30 seconds or so).Version: 1.0.4
✓ Works well if it can connect to the TVThis app works for my X900F. However after a while it would stop connecting to the TV. I had to power on the TV manually once for it to find it, then this would work for a while. One improvement I’ll suggest: put Back and Home buttons on the first control page as well, so I don’t need to constantly switching pages..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Refund pleaseIt doesn’t work!! The app just keeps saying Send Feedback I would like my refund!!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Useless.Useless. Doesn’t work and just asks for feedback. Don’t waste your time..Version: 1.0.5
✓ There’s no keyboardToo many ads to assess the app. There is no keyboard to type searches, etc. So, what’s the point?.Version: 1.0.3
✓ $$$Used to be free, now everywhere you click, an add pops up asking to pay, no thanks lmao.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Doesn’t work much of the timeWhen it connects, it’s fine. More than half the time it doesn’t connect..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Doesn’t workIt doesn’t connect.Version: 1.2
✓ Pastes from clipboard when launchedPastes from clipboard when launched.Version: 1.0.5
✓ QWERTYDoesn’t allow me to enter text via its keyboard unless I use the curser to s p e l l every word..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Not asking for extra appsUpon first opening the app, I chose my detected device and the app immediately took me to the App Store to get another app by the same developer—this one for a Roku device (which it detected that I have). I already have a Roku remote app, and I don’t need another one. There was no way to use the app without downloading their Roku app, so I uninstalled. No thanks..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Used to be great hopefully an update soonThis app used to work flawlessly on my 55x930e since the update there is no less than a 10 second delay between the phone and the tv.Version: 1.0.4
✓ SlowIts very slow.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Too long to connectThis app used to work okay but now it takes a long time to reconnect to the tv, it sometimes doesn’t reconnect at all. I’ve tried contacting support with no replies, had to resort to purchasing another remote app that seems to work all the time..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Very bad appFirst version was working fine, don’t buy the one now in the store. There’s a lag between pressing and getting tv response of 4-5 seconds to say useless.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Subscription not workingI purchased the annual subscription. It worked Siri g first 7 days. Now the premium features not working. When I click on the subscribe again, it says I already have a subscription. Hope this is not a scam. I’ll be contact Apple if I don’t hear from the developer in a day or 2..Version: 1.0.8
✓ CheekYou spend £2000 on a TV and then they want another £5 to turn off the ads which make this almost unusable. What a nerve! And if your partner wants the app on her phone, even with family sharing she also has to pay £5 to turn off the app destroying ads. Absolute ripoff 🤬🤯🤬.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Not goodNot good when try to open and won’t open and ask send a feedback.Version: 1.0.8
✓ GarbageThis app is garbage and the creator offers no support. Downloaded and connected to my Sony smart tv and as soon as I walked out of the room and came back and tried to use it, the app didn’t recognize my tv. You have to turn on the tv with the actual remote for it to reestablish connection to use the app again. What’s the point?.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great but App button doesn’t workIt’s a great app but unless you pay an extortionate subscription versus buying another remote, you can’t use the App button. I use this daily. So unless the price point changes it makes no sense..Version: 1.2
✓ AbsurdThe pricing for premium is absurd 24 $ X X X a year🤣🤣🤣🤣.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Cannot find any device in the networkFailed to connect despite repeated attempts.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Used to like. Abysmal privacy.I used this app all the time and was considering the premium version. With iOS 14, I see now that it auto-pastes the clipboard upon opening. This is disgusting and a common predatory tactic, it can steal passwords, SSN, image with location data -- whatever else you had hit copy on last. I recommend everyone uninstall this app, and to the developer -- Shame on you..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Worthless AppTried many times seldom connect with TV and work..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Connection issueConnection not stable, app tries to reconnect every time it opens, kinda annoying as you need to wait few secs before you can do anything.Version: 1.0.8
✓ WORSTOpens right to “send feedback”. It’s not a remote! Scam!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ It could be good1. When the tv is off the app can not turn it on. 2. The coders were lazy and did not label the buttons in the app so those with vision problems can not use the app. 3. Many of the tv features do not seem accessible with the app.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Horrible AppDon’t waste your money. I even reached out for help and got nothing. The app glitches frequently and has to connect every single time in order to work. The connection time varies so you could be waiting for awhile and then it won’t even work the majority of the time. Complete waist of money and time..Version: 1.2
✓ Doesn’t work - developers did not follow upSince paying for this app, it basically hasn’t worked. It never locates my device despite connecting perfectly before i paid for the app. I’ve tried reinstalling to no avail. I contacted the developers with feedback and never received a response..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Doesn’t workBlack screen says ‘Send Report’ nothing else appears. Doesn’t recognise my Sony Bravia TV and does not work over Virgin Media..Version: 1.0.5
✓ NoahTo slow to work and a lot of unwanted adds adds and more adds and slow remote I will be leaving this app soon because of that.Version: 1.2
✓ DodgyAsks for feedback soon as you launch the app. Asking to access your mail app..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Garbage. Don't bother.My remote broke. I downloaded this, and it kind of works. It's glitchy and disconnects, but it's better than a bricked TV until replacement hardware (remote) can arrive. So I paid for the app, yet it keeps showing ads and nagging me to purchase it. I restart the app on the phone and refresh purchases, and it doesn't connect to the device. It's just junk. Apple needs to improve its standards. I'm sure I'll never get my money back. So let me experience be your lesson - DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME ON THIS GARBAGE..Version: 1.2
✓ Too many adsLet’s first say that it’s awesome this app exists. My dog chewed up my tv remote and while I wait for a new one to arrive I can use this app which is awesome, however, I can’t press a single button without an ad playing. These ads mean that fast forward happens and doesn’t stop until I can repress a button once the ads are done or food is cooking and I can’t pause the show for at least 30 seconds because an ad has to play. It’s great that this app exists for a short term fix but I also can’t wait to not have to use it..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Ridiculous subscription pricingUninstalling. No way I’m paying that amount for myself let alone per person in the household..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Stealing dataI had some data copied from WhatsApp and whenever I’m opening this app a pop up in the screen (much like iPhone notification) - “Remote Sony pasted from WhatsApp”. Certainly stealing data whatever copied. I’ve a screenshot... figuring how I can upload it.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Used to be good.The app was fine with ads, but they removed all the features from the free version and try to get you to sign up for a monthly subscription to use the whole thing. This app is no longer worth it as a free app. There are other Sony remotes in the App Store that allow you to play a flat fee that is cheaper than the monthly subscription of this one..Version: 1.0.8
✓ OK remote for SonyHas failed to find TV several times and keeps searching. No time out so you can’t try to reset. Had to delete app and reload a couple of times. Won’t turn on directTV box or TV when initially turning on set..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Is this a joke?Downloaded and opened the app and all I see is a black background with the words, “Discovered Devices,” at the top and, “Send feedback” button, only it doesn’t work because I don’t use apple email. That’s it. It doesn’t do anything else. What a waist of time. If I could give it zero stars I would..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Don’t botherSays you can use it with ads - wants to take your credit card ~ won’t let you trial it ~ if these guys are so convinced of their product they would let try it out first ~ don’t bother.Version: 1.2
✓ Not as good as the descriptionI purchased this App because my remote broke, on day one it was working well, now, It can turn on the tv but it won’t turn it off. Also the sensitivity response is not as good as on day one when I got it! In conclusion, u still need your actual remote.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Do not download!!App is a scam and absolutely trash. It blows my mind that Apple would even give it a place in the App Store..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Ad-ladenIt works, but so many ads it’s unbearable..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Typical bad bravia functionalityThe sony bravia remotes continually disappoints me re their extremely poor functionality.Version: 1.2
✓ OMG I HATE SENDING FEEDBACKI sent feedback like 10 times and it keeps coming up with “send feedback”.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Doesn’t workAwful! On the same network to tv. Sony Bravia 4K 55” tv all it just says is feedback have deleted app rebooted phone still just asks feedback doesn’t work.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Never finds the tvIt’s a bit hopeless.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Slow doest connectAs above.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Terrible!This app works beautifully the first day or so I had it. Then, when I paid $5 to remove ads the app ceased to function at all. Now, whenever I open it I only get a screen with a “send feedback” button. Tried deleting and reinstalling multiple times as well as rebooting my phone. Nothing helps. Being as it was the only thing I can do in the app, I utilized the Send Feedback button to email the creator and ask what the deal was. Got no response. This is shameful and I’d like my $5 back.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Too Many Ads - Do not “immediately dismiss”This is a fair app in terms of capabilities, but not worth 5 bucks in my opinion. The frequency of the pop-up ads make it unusable in its unpaid form. The remotes that came with my Bravias work just fine so the “cool factor” of controlling your TV with a phone is short lived. 30 minutes in my case..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Not connectingVery disappointing experience.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Not iPhone friendly enoughIPhone version: Can't turn tv on with it. Can't use phone keyboard when using "search" in apps. Awkward and wonky feel in iphone..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Serious issues connectingConnects to the TV around 10-15% of the time which is incredibly frustrating. Paid for the app in the hope removing the adds would resolve this as there would be a lot less required to load. Most of the time I just give up. Best of the bad bunch of remote apps..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Rod FarleyKeeps locking up aright pain, tried downloading twice, no better.Version: 1.0.4
✓ RubbishIt is not Sony remote control. Totally rubbish app. Highly NOT recommend!!!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Worked for two weeks onlyOnly worked for two weeks, and I paid $8AU to get rid of the adds. Now it goes straight to “send feedback” page and no options to connect to tv. I should have read the most critical reviews before I spent the $8.Version: 1.0.5
✓ GarbageThis app is trash don’t buy it Because it has tons of ads you have to pay for to get them out and two at first it takes to a feedback and your stuck on this screen maybe you should try another app Please or... To creators: Update this app it’s trash and horrible.Version: 1.0.2
✓ AdsGood app, but too much money just to have a software version of the remote, give me a better reason to pay?.Version: 1.0.3
✓ HopelessAs soon as the app is opened it goes to 'sendback' There are no other options..Version: 1.0.4
✓ No longer worksWorked well for the first while... no longer works despite both TV and phone being connected to same wifi. No update available either. Full version is not worth the money. Will be deleting if problem is not fixed..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Missing family share of purchaseWorks well enough to purchase. Wrongly assumed it supported family share on purchases, it doesn’t. That seems crazy for this type of app. Waste of $ for me..Version: 1.0.5
✓ OK when it works.You might struggle to switch between the two pages of controls. I find that you can’t switch the TV on using this remote..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Cannot find TVDoesn’t work with my Sony.Version: 1.0.5
✓ UselessIt allows numbers input vs keyboard input for entering login credentials. Therefore useless for me..Version: 1.0.8
✓ BUGWhenever I try to connect to my smart tv, the app shown up with “Wrong Pin” without even letting me enter a password. PLEASE FIX THIS..Version: 1.0.3
