Viz - Smart TV remote control for Negative User Reviews
✓ Doesn’t work most of the timeTried multiple remotes, and they simply don’t work. Remotes would connect to TV but the buttons would not work properly. For example, all the navigation arrows (on multiple remotes) would all only send left. Push up, navigation goes left, push down, navigation goes left. Push select button, nothing happens. In short, this is a poor excuse of a tv remote app. Also, I verified it wasn’t my tv by trying the actual remote, which worked just as it should. If you’re looking for a tv remote to have on your phone or tablet/iPad, choose a different one..Version: 1.85
✓ It was so goodThere was an update that took away the features that let you swipe up and down left and right to interact with the screen instead of a button press and it’s so annoying that they got rid of it for seemingly no reason it functioned amazingly and now it’s so inconvenient to have to look away from your phone and make precise taps on the screen while trying to watch tv. Highly annoying bring back the swipe feature atleast as an option like it was before.Version: 6.5
✓ APP STEALS YOUR PERSONAL INFO! BEWARE!I’d give NEGATIVE STARS if it were possible! This app steals the information saved to your clipboard. If you'd like to see for yourself, download the app & then open a different app (such as safari). Copy some text, then reopen this remote app. You’ll discover that it will paste your copied text without your permission! Can you imagine the amount of passwords, banking info, & other personal info this app is collecting?!? I don’t recommend downloading this app, & Apple should remove this developer from its App Store immediately. Also, I paid to remove their obnoxious ads, yet less than a year later, the ads are back. STAY CLEAR OF THIS APP & get Vizio’s actual app instead!!!.Version: 1.85
✓ It worked so well! Until..So, I used this app for a while, Since my brother kept losing the remote. And today, When I tried to use it, The WiFi that I used for the TV suddenly disconnected, So, I tried finding the WiFi network so I could connect to it again, But no. IT WAS NOT THERE ANYMORE! My WiFi network didn’t show up, And there were only these weird “devices” Like: Device 1, Device 5, Device 100, Etc. I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! But. I recommend this app, It does work! But for me, It stops working after a few weeks..Version: 1.85
✓ Vizio sound barThe app assumes Wi-Fi but I just want to control the Vizio Bluetooth sound bar with Bluetooth remote sub and rear speakers. The remote control selections you have include the Vizio sound remote control image then I would expect the app not to ask for WiFi and only ask for Bluetooth Vizio sound bars don’t use WiFi they are Bluetooth only..Version: 5.5
✓ Didn’t work.I liked that when I opened app , it showed me all available remote types Vizio has. I promptly chose the one I know goes to my tv. I saw that it connects through same WiFi information, so I clicked on my “Vizio75tv” where it says it’s connecting. I waited maybe a minute while it connected, and nothing. I tried again about 3 more times, getting closer to the tv, but nope. Didn’t work. I was so excited at first to finically find one that would work, just to find out it doesn’t. Big Whaammmp!.Version: 1.85
✓ Does not workDoes not work on our tv!.Version: 1.83
✓ Still debatingI like the remote when all functions work. I can turn on and off the tv. Volume buttons work, input works, but the buttons to change the channels do NOT work. Now that is frustrating. The most used button of all buttons does not work. I wish someone could explain this to me. Until then it is not getting 5 stars..Version: 1.83
✓ Used to work, now it doesn’tI have used this remote in the past and it worked great but now, I have tried multiple choices for the remote and the volume works and everything works when using the menu until I go to select a channel. Everything then works except for the up down left right arrows and the OK button so I cannot select a station or scroll through choices to select. I appreciate that it is a free app but it simply doesn’t work anymore..Version: 1.85
✓ App steals personal informationThis app steals the information saved to your clipboard. If you’d like to see for yourself, download the app and then open a different app (such as safari) and copy some text - then reopen this remote app. You will see that it will paste your copied text without your permission. Imagine the amount of passwords, banking information, and various other personal information this app is collecting. I do not recommend download this app, and Apple should remove this developer from its App Store..Version: 1.85
✓ Worked at first had trouble connecting laterI’ve had this app for a while and it worked great for the first 2 weeks or so. Now I try connecting to my smart TV and it fails to connect but still a great app even though the amount of ads. It could be a problem on my end but it did have a lot of trouble connecting recently..Version: 6.5
✓ Better apps out thereThe rapid succession of pop up ads cut you off in the middle of a task or lock the app up entirely. Also why not format the remote to fit a phone screen instead of having to scroll up and down to reach the top and bottom. Went to the next most popular app and it works perfectly with no ads.Version: 6.5
✓ Scam! I paid the $4.00 to upgrade & STILL HAVE ADSI would have given it five stars until I recently paid the four dollars to upgrade my account and to remove the ads and they had no problem charging my card but none of the ads are removed. So I feel like they just scammed me out of money. The rest of the app works pretty good most of the time sometimes it will just disconnect for no reason and it will take a minute to reconnect but eventually it does reconnect. I'll update this review if the issue gets resolved with my card or the ads..Version: 9.2
✓ It just doesn’t work anymoreAlright so, I downloaded this app 3 years ago and the last time I used it was a year ago (I forgot I had the app). I found out that I had the app so I wanted to use it again but no matter what I did. It wouldn’t work. I tried everything but it still didn’t work so I just deleted it. Would I recommend this app? Download it and if it works then it works, if it doesn’t then it failed its one job and you should delete it..Version: 1.85
✓ Has the remote I need but..I lost my remote a last week and I can’t get on to Netflix on my tv, I clicked the remote I needed and it did not connect! I kept trying and it STILL did not connect! I had my tv on and it was connected to my WiFi because the last time I used my tv (before I lost my remote) IT WAS CONNECTED TO MY WIFI so if you can give me reasons why I cannot connect I will be happy!.Version: 1.85
✓ JJWI used this app for 2 hours after my dog chewed the end off of my tv remote. I tried to rewind the show I was watching on 3 different occasions. 12 different ads popped up during this 3 attempts and the app just froze the 3rd time. I deleted it. Spent more time trying to back up 5 minutes that the whole show lasted. Just go buy a remote! This is not worth the hassle!!! I am deleting it & if I have to spend $10 for an app without ads, they are cheaper at Walmart! Not impressed with this one!!!!.Version: 6.5
✓ Not compatible with devices without wifi connectivityDoesn’t work with sound bar without wifi.Version: 1.85
✓ I don’t trust this app anymoreI downloaded this ages ago, found it perfect to use as a remote with the TV. However, today when I opened the app, Apple notified me that the “Remote from Vizio” app pasted what I copied from a different app. Basically, I copied a link from safari to send to someone, and this app read that link even though I never gave it permission to do so (I never pasted it in the vizio remote app). This link wasn’t a big deal, but what if someone copied some important private information? Would the vizio remote app read that information too? If this was done on purpose, why does this app want that information anyway? Apple has given iPhones a lot more great privacy features recently, and I’m glad they did, because I deleted this app right away, and told my family and friends about it who deleted it as well. I hope it was just a mistake in the coding script or something, but if it wasn’t, I am deeply disappointed in the developers of this app. Also there have been a lot more issues with reconnecting recently..Version: 1.85
✓ WorksA bit clunky switching between remotes and most of the apps that I use "work better" on a remote I don't have and does not the ability to select apps once using. It links up, and brings basic functionality, but make no mistake, it's a work in progress..Version: 8.8
✓ Unable to connectMy Vizio TV will not connect to Bizio Remote. I have updated and the image of my remote is there but still not able to connect even though iPhone and TV are on same wifi.Version: 1.85
✓ Too many addsAdds!.Version: 1.34
✓ Do not use this appDownload the correct app that is by Vizio themselves. It works far better, no ads, and is safer on your network. This app is tricks you into pressing ads instead of remote button. To developer: you had a good opportunity to collect from banner ads, but instead opted to trick people into ad engagements. I highly doubt advertisers would continue to pay for the space if they knew your engagements are 100% accidental. Do better..Version: 1.85
✓ Not workingInability to connect with the device via wifi and no other ways to connect ether! Beyond lame..Version: 1.85
✓ Ads…The app and touchscreen itself is amazing since my kids broke my actual remote and I’m too lazy to go buy another one that’s $30-$40 so I downloaded this one works wonders, besides the bullsh** ads that pop up and take you to another window after pushing a button 20 times and then having to exit and go back to remote. Smfh annoying ASSSFFFFF.Version: 9.2
✓ Doesn’t workInitially the only function that worked was the Input button. No volume, channel, numbers, etc. Rebooted my tv and got it to work except the info and channel up/down buttons. You have to use the arrow keys instead to change channels. You also might have to go through several devices on the search list when trying to connect until you find the one that’s your tv..Version: 1.85
✓ SmhI downloaded this app after I lost my remote. At first I thought is is awesome! It worked for about 4 hours. I hadn’t changed anything. Then all of a sudden, it quit working. On the home page, it doesn’t register that I’m pressing any of the arrow buttons or the select buttons. When I can finally get the dang thing to move to the app I want it won’t select it. If I’m lucky and keep trying it might go into the app. Then again same issues. I envy anyone who it works for because for me it’s a joke..Version: 1.85
