✓ Scam AppI’ve been charged for at least the past 6 months £5 a week - so that’s £120 pound since I got it.

✓ DisappointedThis app cost 30 plus and doesn’t work. It asks to enter a passcode but no where to enter it. And refund doesn’t look promising. I will be contacting apple to try and get reimbursed. Wish me luck.Version: 2.2

✓ Don’t downloadPremium just to press some buttons?!?! GET A LIFE AND A REAL JOB..Version: 2.1
✓ Pay a musician before he plays, he will play poorly.Listen. I know you have a development team, things to pay, etc etc. BUT… it is totally ridiculous to ask for money before I even get a glimpse of the functionality of the product. That’s stupid. Maybe make it free for the first 10 minutes to see if it’s even worth buying? What if it doesn’t even work but I already paid? So many what ifs that still don’t justify why the heck I’d pay for anything before even seeing if it works well..Version: 2.5
✓ Worst appThe worst app I have used making you pay already the gui is horrible and hideous to look at there’s other apps for free and even had a better gui screen I was recommended this app not worth the time to use or pay.Version: 2.5

✓ I HATE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I tried using all these stupid freakin’ apps but they never work because they are stupid idiotic apps that tell you need to purchase that you need to purchase this. This is why I HATE THESE STUPID STUPIDEST APPS.Version: 2.1
✓ Dishonest practicesThe app lets you download it for free but is completely useless without signing up for a subscription. It presents it as a pro version over the free version, but it’s literally unusable without subscribing. Terrible business practice..Version: 2.6
✓ If your tv is not wifi capable, don’t get this!Downloaded the app. First thing I had to do is subscribe weekly or yearly. Now I don’t know how to unsubscribe because I immediately discovered all the iPhone remotes require the tv to be on the same network. My tv is not a “network” capable tv so these remotes are useless.Version: 2.6
✓ FraudAccruing weekly charges for an app that doesn’t work. Developer will not respond to requests.Version: 2.5
✓ Very annoyed with thisI spent 20 on this and it doesn’t even work properly! I have an LG tv and I can only move the cursor and scroll through my apps but can’t even select it! Trash I wish I could get my money back but read this review a don’t buy this!.Version: 2.4

✓ STUPIDDon't waste your time with this app, makes you pay to use it 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻.Version: 2.1
✓ It Doesn’t WorkDo waste your money on this app, I should have listened to other user reviews and do t buy the life time purchase. I can see my tv but I can’t connect to it. I did what they asked and enabled the ADB still not connecting. Other free apps worked no issues.Version: 2.5
✓ Can’t do anythingUnless you pay for subscription, you literally can’t do anything even as basic as changing volume or clicking okay. Free version doesn’t absolutely nothing..Version: 1.6
✓ Takes to long to loadThis app takes way to long to connect to the tv.Version: 1.2
✓ AwfulThis app should be removed from the App Store. It is nothing but an advertisement with a screen that looks like a remote. I’m disappointed that Apple allows it to be on their service..Version: 2.3
✓ Awful! Takes your money then stops working!Will take your money for the “lifetime pro one time payment” version - work for a couple of days then the pro features will stop and it will try to charge you again!!! Cheeky scandalous Apple won’t even refund me! This app is broken! Waste of £9.99!!! Avoid at all cost - you have been warned.Version: 1.5
✓ Total piece of rubbishOne word ads and monthly fees for just using the app just a waste of space.Version: 2.1
✓ RemoteDoesn’t work!.Version: 2.1
✓ Don’t waste your moneyPurchased premium subscription and the ads still show up and no new features were added. No keyboard to type or anything. Not even a mouse pointer works on it.Version: 2.5
✓ Not a remote in the slightest.This is obviously just an ad just disguised as an app because you can’t click any button more than once before you’re prompted to pay 20 DOLLARS just to get the other ads to stop. And if you’re lucky enough not to get the purchase prompt, then you’re unlucky enough to get an ad. In my experience I had a turnover rate of 1:2 clicks for every ad, but that means every other time was trying to get me to pay for this god awful app..Version: 2.1
✓ Need premium for everythingI managed to connect my tv successfully but whenever i try and do anything on the app it asks you to sign up to premium..Version: 2.1
✓ Monthly subscriptionI have to pay monthly to use a remote app? This just a ripoff! If you buy a real remote you don’t keep paying forever! Apple should not allow monthly subscription for everything.Version: 1.2
✓ READ BEFORE DOWNLOADMost people would like something free. (i know i would) but this……is something you should buy…… if your rich. you can even use the remote without paying for it and it gives you adds just for trying to use it. don’t buy it……unless your rich and want to waste money. there are apps that are free and u can use as a tv remote. sincerely—- a guy who got scammed by this app..Version: 2.6
✓ I hate itYou can’t even control when you control it brings a ad I would not recommend this app it’s garbage good thing I didn’t spend a penny on this app.Version: 2.1
✓ £200 per year to use the full functionsSeriously, at £3.99 per week to use this app that’s over £200 per year... Needless to say I cancelled it pretty quickly and uninstalled the app. Shame, as it looks quite good..Version: 1.2

✓ Will not work but a few min after connecting to Samsung rvSet up and paid $20 after I water logged rv remote . After setting up and connecting to tv it worked fine then after being dormant 2-3 min it says it’s connected but it won’t work.Version: 2.3
✓ Pretends to be freeThis app pretends to be free and immediately demands money, which is an app store policy violation.Version: 2.0
✓ Don’t get ripped off—Cheated out of my moneyPaid the $20 for pro. App won’t recognize my subscription. The “contact us” feature in the app is only their terms and conditions, no way to contact them. This is a rip off..Version: 2.1
✓ Worked ok untilWorked for a while then stopped had to keep re setting it up. Also do people actually pay £3.99 to use the premier, absolute rip off, same as games on here try to charge £7.99 per month knowing full well you can get xbox/ps pass for £5.99pm that has ultra Hd free full games that’s you can download at anytime. You may get away with 50p a month but £4 it’s absolutely ridiculous.Version: 1.2

✓ PURE CRAPThis is the worst app ever. It serves no purpose whatsoever. When ever you want to press any button it takes you to an ad. The worst part is the customers help. They have a stupid paragraph that they just copy and paste into the review. In that copied paragraph there is a promotion for the app. Every 5 seconds you’re not on the subscription page it gives you an ad for a different app. They basically made an ad..Version: 2.3

✓ No feature is freeMust make in app purchase to use.Version: 2.5

✓ Why does this excistYou have to have premium for everything even if u don’t have your TV linked..Version: 2.0

✓ TV must be on!Paid $20 bucks only to find the TV ME ST BE ON. if I could turn on the tv I wouldn’t need this thing, but my remote was lost. Also the crazy codes and symbols make very little sense..Version: 2.2

✓ StupidGarbage.Version: 1.8
✓ Says it’s a free download but then you can’t use unless you purchase itJust the same as cold callers,tricks you into downloading it then can’t use it unless you buy it! Put a purchase price on the app instead of tricking people into making the initial download thinking it’s free! Common impulsive buying trick used by cold callers and such. It’s also a reverse psychology trick to make customers think “well I’ve got it now I may aswell buy it” pfft uninstalling and I will buy one that has a price on the app instead I hate these apps who try trick you into a purchase instead of being honest and just putting a price on the app instead!!!.Version: 2.5

✓ AwfulDoesn’t work unless you buy premium.Version: 2.5
✓ The app is free, but EVERY THING IS PAYED FORAs the title says. The app itself is free however the actual functions/buttons… all of them are blocked behind a paywall! It’s a subscription too, I ain’t gonna pay you a set amount of money per month on an app I’m not even sure would work on my Tv just because I can’t find my remote. Fat L.Version: 2.5
✓ GarbageLet’s you connect to your tv but using any buttons require pro version/subscription.Version: 1.6
