Remote for Samsung for Negative User Reviews
✓ BasicThis app works …. Usually. It does get finicky and won’t connect to the TV at times. I’ve had to remove it and redownload it several times. I bout the ad free version (totally worth it) however, I lose that when I redownload it, making me repay for the ad free version again. Not ok with that. But when it works, it works well and is easy to navigate…...Version: 6.3
✓ Worst app everHow am i supposed to use thisss.Version: 2.32
✓ 🙄I don’t like that you have to accept on the tv to use the remote what if people’s remotes are broken what are they going to do.Version: 6.3
✓ Automatically goes to channel 1000For some reason, every time I open the app and it connects to my TV, my tv channel changes to channel 1000 before I even press anything. It’s like this for my sister who also has the app connected to our tv. Quite annoying, but other than that the other buttons seem to work. There are ad popups too..Version: 11.2
✓ FrustratingThis app was hard to use and I couldn’t even connect it to my Tv. It kept saying something about how it couldn’t connect even though I pressed the “Allow” option on my Tv, when it tried to help me it told me to use my remote when the whole point of the app is so you don’t need a remote for your Tv. This experience was just frustrating and annoying..Version: 8.7
✓ Ad pop ups reset everything I’m trying to typeWhen logging into a smart tv app, if I don’t type in my login info fast enough, an ad pops up, and I have to start all over again. I’m all for ad-supported apps, but when it prevents the user from being able to successfully use it, and forcing them to upgrade to the ad-free version, it’s very annoying..Version: 6.3
✓ NonsenseI downloaded this app when I accidentally threw my remote to my tv in the wash wrapped up in some blankets. The first thing it asks when trying to connect is for me to select accept on my tv with my remote. If I had the remote to do that, I wouldn’t need this app now would I? 🤦🏻 there is one button on my tv with very limited functionality and accepting a new remote connecting over Wi-Fi isn’t something I can do. Deleting.Version: 6.3
✓ Don’t waste your time!Doesn’t work, just shows you adverts.Version: 6.3
✓ Promising but not there yet.Promising, but when making the initial connection on my UE55F8000, the tv didn’t prompt me to accept the new connection, so it wouldn’t work. The tv did appear in the network devices list. I use the “Remote for Sky” app from the same developer and that works well. Looking forward to an update..Version: 1.1
✓ Ads everywhere and every timeAds show up per 5s.Version: 1.85
✓ Absolutely grotesqueThis wouldn't even connect to my TV. Worked on ONE device and that device is BROKEN. Our TV remote is broken and i was really counting on this to connect while my remote was being shipped but NO..Version: 1.89
✓ Asks for location without valid reasonThe developer claims they need to ask for location information in order to scan the devices on your network. They say this is required by Apple but this is untrue. They will point you to a document, read it, there is no such requirement..Version: 9.5
✓ No point, really.The app works good as long as you don’t let your phone go to sleep. Every time the phone goes into sleep mode, I have to get permission to use the app controls by clicking on “allow”, using the Samsung remote that came with the tv. So, what’s the point in the app? If I am missing something, please let me know and I will change the rating to 5 stars if the problem can be fixed..Version: 6.3
✓ RubbishDoesn’t work half the time.Version: 4.7
✓ Doesn’t workWon’t connect to my tv. Says it’s failed despite my tv being on the same WiFi network. Don’t waste your time downloading.Version: 1.85
✓ Doesn’t work.App connected to the tv but doesn’t control it. Selected the correct remote and then just get hit with adds. Removed as quickly as it was downloaded..Version: 6.3
✓ AbsIt works ok but could be better. The forward button is no working when you are watching bbciplayer. Apart from that is fine.Version: 1.85
✓ This is very bad appIt wants to use the phone cellular data!!!!! It requires full access to Siri and wifi network? ! Why???!!!! One star is too much it doesn’t qualify for ZERO star.Version: 1.89
✓ It Doesn’t WorkSimple as that. Can’t find my device on the wifi network but I installed a different remote and it was found right away. No help or support materials from developers..Version: 8.7
✓ Didn’t work for meDownloaded app to work my Samsung tv. Didn’t work at all. Waste of time..Version: 1.85
✓ The worst App ever .. Don’t waste your timeThis app keeps disconnect from my TV.. haven’t connected since .. been trying for over an hour. Honestly .. this app is disgraceful .. I’m proper fuming now .. the worst thing is .. the app developers will probably do nothing about it .. I curse them all!.Version: 1.85
✓ UnreliableThis app constantly requires reinitializing. It quite frequently loses connection with the tv. Frustrating!! A very disappointing app..Version: 2.92
✓ Too many addsThe app is amazing but there is adds every ten seconds.Version: 6.3
✓ Doesn’t WorkIt asks for the IP address of my Samsung tv, but still doesn’t work once it is entered. Waste of time..Version: 1.85
✓ Samsung remoteAnother completely useless tv remote app. Please don’t waste your time.Version: 1.85
✓ Why does it need to connect to data?My tv isn’t a smart tv so it’s not even hooked up to data or wifi to begin with, despite its remote being in the app. I needed a new remote because the original remote quit working and thought this might be a great alternative. Awful alternative doesn’t begin to cover it..Version: 6.3
✓ Was doing so good! but…It was an awesome app! One of the best honestly! And I didn’t even mind the ads that popped up every once in a while. I thought about buying the ad free version, but after the bugs that have been going on as of late I don’t know that I will! Lately every time I try to use it, it seems like a button isn’t working (up won’t work or down won’t or it won’t go left or right sometimes). I don’t know what’s going on! If not for that honestly would’ve given five stars even with ads!.Version: 8.7
✓ ABSOLUTELY USELESSDON’T WASTE YOUR TIME LIKE I DID!! Downloaded the app,found the tv that’s was on the same network found the remote I had been using...so far so good...then I go to click the buttons it vibrates and does absolutely NOTHING to my tv.i even tried putting the phone directly up to the TVs sensor and it did NOTHING.i had tried about 10 remote apps just because I had lost my remote ended up raging and decided to just go look for it in my house because none of them worked you either have to download one that doesn’t work or download one that does work but you have to pay like £10 for.WASTE OF TIME. All the good 5 star reviews I think are off themselves to get them a higher rating scroll down further in the reviews to see how bad this app actually is.oh and if you do download it be aware that you are going to get ads every 30 seconds.ffs never trusting these apps ever again.downloaded and deleted in around 10 minutes.Version: 1.89
✓ Just adsThis is absolutely horrible it has to reconnect every few minutes. So that always takes 10 to 15 seconds then the ads are insane example if I turn on the tv and it’s to loud and I try to turn it down I get a ad right away then when it finally lets me I get 10 clicks down and another ad. I have had 4 ads just to turn it down or up. Changing Channels is horrible set up it’s just junk all the way around. Can’t wait for the new remote to get here!.Version: 8.7
✓ ScamMy credit card information was stolen from this app. I got keep charging from someone unrecognized. I had to replace my credit card ..Version: 8.7
✓ Sound bar has no wifiIt shows the same remote as the Samsung sound bar originally came with but requires wifi. There no way to connect the sound bar with wifi!! Thats what BT is for!!.Version: 2.32
✓ Very Disappointing- does not work at all for me!I have tried every option and nothing works. I find this quite surprising as the Sky remote from same developer is brilliant !.Version: 6.3
✓ Really?How am I supposed to hook my sound bar up to wifi? Why does this even matter. Why isn’t it Bluetooth related or something? Just dumb.Version: 1.89
✓ Needs location services turned on to find wireless devices?Perhaps searching for wireless signals would work better for finding wireless signals. Useless. Doesn’t work with a manually entered IP address, either..Version: 6.3
✓ It kind of worksYou can’t turn the TV on when it is off. The keyboard function doesn’t type when you are in a text input area. It does co troll volume and you can navigate with it, awkwardly..Version: 6.3
✓ We won’t charge your credit card then “DING” a $1 charge notification from the bank.I unchecked the box allowing access to the extra stuff I don’t want or need. All I needed was a working remote. It doesn’t work and I’m not going to pay or waste time to figure it out. Annoying ads hinder functionality and I assume they would ask me to pay to delete them. I’ll never know because I deleted the app..Version: 2.92
✓ BaddddddI’m so sorry but it’s terrible! You have to have your tv on for it to detect so if you don’t have your remote control then you can’t do it and it can’t even detect my tv anyways.Version: 1.85
✓ Not workNot work just picture of remot.Version: 8.7
✓ RubbishWaste of time, doesn’t work..Version: 2.32
✓ NOT GREATNot particularly user friendly because of endless ads. I deleted it with minutes.Version: 1.85
✓ Doesn’t workFound the tv and connected but none of the “buttons’ did anything..Version: 1.85
✓ Desperately needed fixMy Samsung tv remote doesn’t work so this app is the only thing I have that’ll work, but ads kept popping up every five seconds, so I paid for no ads, but the ads kept popping up and to my knowledge there’s no way to get my money back so I’m screwed and the only reason I don’t give it a lower rating is because this app aside from the ads is perfect so I give credit where it’s due.Version: 1.85
✓ RubbishJust like the previous one I tried by you lot- USELESS!.Version: 1.85
✓ Decent.The app works, while it does. Even tho the adds are annoying I can deal with that. What gets me is that I have to re instal it every week almost. It just doesn’t connect anymore even tho the tv is in the list of devices and it worked yesterday. This is third or fourth time I’m doing this. Other than that decent app))).Version: 6.3
✓ Sound bar doesn’t have wifi!How the f am I suppose to connect my hwk450 sound bar when it doesn’t have wifi connection? Yet the sound bar remote is one of the selections from the app. Useless..Version: 1.85
✓ Filled with Pop-Up AdsYou get 1 ad every 15 to 20 clicks on the tv remote. Since you can’t hold down the directional keys, trying to scroll through a video is a nightmare since you have to tap on the remote to fast forward a single increment AND deal with the intrusive, whole screen ads every time you click a certain amount of times..Version: 8.7
✓ New update is susThe app was fully working ok WITHOUT location services. But after updating this app, it’s keeps saying “Allow Location to discover devices” when I try to connect to my Samsung TV.Version: 2.86
✓ Crap!!!So tired of bad business! The app worked great until it randomly asked me for a rating. I don’t usually participate but rated them a 5. As soon as I did the app went to crap, now my volume is stuck on high with sports using a commentator. Can I go back to change my rating? No bc the option doesn’t work. Wondering the motive here…being that it’s free must make me not the customer but the product. What they wanted was a rating and performed well until they got what they wanted. Which makes me wonder why not just continue to let me enjoy the app? Bc it’s capable of doing so….so Why not? Nope to Samsung!.Version: 4.7
✓ Horse doo doo!I lost my tv remote and use this as the backup. So when this app tells me to go click the OK on my TV and I don’t have a remote to do that. 10 minutes later, I’m hitting the single button on the bottom of the flat screen. It still won’t connect. Yeah, your app is a big giant piece of Doodoo. Disable the link feature or disable your app because it is useful as a screen door on a flipping submarine!.Version: 9.8
✓ Rubbish appDoesn’t work at all.Version: 6.3
✓ JoyThis game is a a rip off because it is a scam. Do you know why be cause you have two put your address that’s why I well let me tell you my store re-so at first my sister downloaded this game and it and it was working really very good and it was nice and what about bob decided to take the phone so it was very very hard. That’s why this game is a scam. If you want to play it that’s fine because it’s a rip off you can down load it but not me if you trust me do not download this game OK because it’s weird my sister to pull the TV I didn’t put is it Siri what is the work of my sister only knows how to do it and that’s why I said this is a rip off never download this game guys never got it guys. I’m not joking..Version: 8.3
✓ Contains spamI downloaded this app because I was having trouble with my Samsung Remote. Unfortunately, the app contains advertisements as well as spam including a pop-up that my phone memory was full and offered another app to help clean it up. Before falling for that I checked the memory of my phone and had more than half of the memory available. While the controls work fine, this makes it difficult to trust..Version: 6.3
✓ RubbishApp does not work very well. I have done all of the things suggested with TV. I just get constant PIN numbers flashing because the App goes nuts and flashes “connecting” which sends lots of pin changes to the TV. Upon closing app, you then have to wait the 59 seconds for the pin to disappear..Version: 1.85
✓ It has to reconnect a lotThis app works really well but there is a problem with it. I can’t connect this remote to my tv when it’s off so I have to manually turn it on by another remote. After that I have to allow this remote to connect to my tv by using my physical remote. Also, every time my phone turns off, it makes me reconnect it to the tv by using my other physical remote. I got this app so if I lost my physical remote, I could use this app, but in order to use his app, I need to connect it with my physical remote..Version: 1.85
✓ 100% SCAMAsked for my credit card info “to verify location” the card was declined. I added a second again declined. Knew something was wrong (they immediately tried using the cards but were declined). I was contacted by my credit card company and spent the next 3 hrs answering questions and canceling both my cards!!! BEWARE!!!!.Version: 6.3
✓ Never worked for samsung sound barNever worked when tried it to use for my sound bar. It does find my wifi but then there is no visible step..Version: 2.92
✓ Took to much time to connectI downloaded this app because at the moment my control isn’t working and I just put in an order for an new one i so I needed something to control my TV. seeing all the good reviews on this app i downloaded it hoping it would work but is was disappointed i took to long to connect and really glitchy overall the app is ok 👌.Version: 1.89
✓ Doesn’t connectI have a Samsung smart TV and the app won’t connect go to waste of time keeps showing error.Version: 8.7
✓ Crap doesn’t workCrap doesn’t work.Version: 1.85
✓ I can imagine it’d be great if it workedSince it picked up my TV but didn’t work, it was the quickest install and uninstall ive done. Nice effort, though..Version: 1.85
✓ It stopped workingI used to love this app since it was very easy to use and didn’t take up much space. However around two weeks ago it stopped detecting my tv even when they were connected to the same network. It didn’t even detect the TVs that were in the surrounding apartments when before it did. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it around 3 times but I’ve had no luck..Version: 1.89
✓ Fraud on Two CardsAlthough it’s supposed to be free, it requires a credit card to install. I tried one and got a decline error message (despite my card having a zero balance), so I tried a second card. That also got a decline error message. Shortly after that, I got a text from one of my credit card companies detecting fraud. I had to change both of my credit card numbers..Version: 8.7
✓ Stupid!I downloaded this app because I lost my tv remote and in order to use this app for it you have to press allow on tv 🙈 how? I have no remote!!.Version: 8.7
✓ UselessI have connected to my tv but none of the buttons work..Version: 1.85
✓ Up button does not workEverything seems to work but the up key or the up swipe on the touch pad making it impossible to navigate..Version: 2.32
✓ What’s the point?The reason I need to install the app is because I cannot locate my tv remote. I cannot click allow on my tv just by using my mobile device so it defeats the purpose of me installing this app. I can see how its good for someone to have this app as a supplement to your remote, but not for someone who do not have a remote control..Version: 11.2
✓ Apps stops working after every iOS updateThe app works reasonably well. However, every time you update your iOS, the app stops working and requires to be re-connected to your TV. No big deal, if you have your original remote since it’s impossible to “allow” the device to be paired to your TV without the original remote. However, why would I need a remote on my phone if I had the original one?.Version: 2.32
✓ NothingDoesn’t do anything other than show you photos of Samsung remotes. No responses to button presses.Version: 1.84
✓ Need actual remoteI downloaded this because my remote has vanished, but then it tells me to press “ok” on the remote to connect the ap to my tv. Useless!.Version: 2.32
✓ BYou have to reconnect it to the tv every time.Version: 1.85
