Vizo Remote: Smartcast TV App for Negative User Reviews
✓ This appThis app does not work I wouldn’t recommend you getting because first of all the controls does not work for me or probably not for you to so the owner of this app please fix it so that it can work all the way and not halfway.Version: 1.4
✓ BUY AT OWN RISK!!!I foolishly bought this app without reading the reviews first..this thing wouldn’t even connect to my Vizio tv! So I can’t comment on the functionality of the volume or directional buttons, but if I were to take a wild guess...I’d say chances are slim that everything works as “advertised”. Got me for $20...oh well, you live and you learn..Version: 1.4
✓ Not recommendDoes not let me use buttons to control screens only to put on an app . So when you click Netflix it works but you can’t use the up & down to click anything.Version: 1.4
✓ Terrible app and supportLiterally a scam. You have to subscribe to their subscription plan to cast videos or use ANY features on the app. I downloaded it and couldn’t get it to connect to my tv. So when I clicked on the help or support button, the ONYL support options are regarding payment for their subscription, there were no support options for how to connect your tv. Such a waste of time, I wouldn’t even buy a vizio tv again after this!.Version: 1.4
✓ PointlessIf I could give this a zero I would, unless you pay for the app it’s pretty much useless, couldn’t even turn the tv off and on or use the remote function at all , it would just show the “ upgrade for full functions” pop up anytime I pressed literally anything.Version: 1.4
✓ 10 taps. That’s it.You can’t use this app without paying. That’s just it. You can use the limited version, but you know what these geniuses decided to do? You only get 10 taps to get to your show, or you have to delete it and reinstall it. This is by far the worst app I have ever downloaded on the App Store, the only way I can access my TV with this app for free is if I continuously uninstall and reinstall it. And that becomes tedious..Version: 1.4
✓ Only thing things that works is input changeThis is a brand new 4K vizio I was very dissatisfied. Don’t recommend until the bugs have been fixed. Canceling my subscription thank god I only paid 3.99.Version: 1.4
✓ Not worth it.I decided to download the remote to keep my toddler from chewing on our remote. When I first used it it was fine. I use it again and now none of the buttons work unless I upgrade to premium? What a joke. I need the basic functions, not the bells and whistles. It’s absolutely absurd that you can’t use even the most back buttons without upgrading. No thanks!! Ps: Y’all didn’t even earn the one star I gave you..Version: 1.4
✓ Don’t get it!!The app I usually use stoped working so I decided to see if there was any more apps then I can across this one and at first it was alright but then I couldn’t even click on any thing because every second it kept asking me did I want to do premium and I did not want to because I was not going to be on there 24=7 eventually I couldn’t even move my screen..Version: 1.4
✓ DisappointedUnfortunately you pay great money for your TV, but the smartphone app is pretty much useless if you have to pay “extra” to simply hit the power off button! Vizio already making money off the TV purchase. App should be 100% free. Seriously guys, come on!.Version: 1.4
✓ Review after paying for premiumThis app works well sometimes but not at all the next. Won’t let me navigate the terms and conditions of my TV update and casts on airplay half the time..Version: 1.4
✓ UnimpressedFor $20 I thought this app would be great but it doesn’t function properly even as a basic remote. The input button does nothing. The volume button does nothing. The directional buttons do nothing. The only thing it does is change the channel. I can cast my photos to the tv but they are sideways. The app ought to be free even if it works great anyway. I have 4 Vizio tvs to include a 75” 4k and sound bar. I have paid plenty to Vizio..Version: 1.4
✓ This app is hot garbageI only got this app to arrange the apps on my Visio TV. But you can’t do that unless you upgrade to the “premium” version of the app which is $7/ month. That’s right, folks, they want you to pay $7/ month to use the app for the TV you just purchased. Amazing..Version: 1.4
✓ Not what I’m looking forI have been with Vizio since Sony came out with it in the early 2000’s. I just purchased three TVs to update my rooms and was completely unimpressed by the channel app selection. I wish there was a way to add or take off apps on these TVs. I thought if I got this app, I would have the power over my tv and can finally add a channel that I’ve been paying for, but can’t watch without booking up my iPhone to the tv. It’s the new Discovery+ channel. I’m totally bummed that I had to pay for this and it didn’t work out..Version: 1.4
✓ Upgrade to premiumUpgrade to premium is the message I get for every button on the remote. Why would I trust you with a paid account when your “free” remote won’t even change the volume..Version: 1.4
✓ Not worth itThis app charged me 40$ when it said it was on sale for 20$! And then it stopped working can’t even turn off my tv anymore after a week even though it says it’s connected to it.Version: 1.4
✓ AwfulOnly some functions work even after paying $20.Version: 1.4
✓ Input buttonInput button no longer changes after going thru the choices one time. Have to then use input button on remote that came with tv. Any suggestions? Only bug found so far..Version: 1.4
✓ Garbage app.The people giving this 5 stars either don't check their Bank statements or they're so stupid that they don't know about any other options besides this incompetent waste of time. Not worth the money. Definitely not worth the time..Version: 1.4
✓ So volume is premium now?I can’t change the volume without upgrading to premium? I can’t turn it on or off without upgrading to premium? It’s not premium if all of the basic features are premium. Might as well make people pay for the app when they download it rather then have them waste space on their device with an app that has no use unless you pay to be able to turn your TV off...Version: 1.4
✓ Love/hateAbsolutely loved the app. 6 year old lost the remote, problem solved. Worked great for about a week then disconnected from the tv and won't reconnect. $20 for a week isn't all that impressive..Version: 1.4
✓ Some options don't workI can control channel, selection, cc and volume but I cannot use any of the other functions like menu or directional arrows. Disappointing to only have half the buttons work..Version: 1.4
✓ What a joke!Really you have to pay just to turn the volume up when I paid for a TV with a real remote that never works! Up yours honestly $20 for a lifetime of an app when I can buy a new remote for $10 that’s some set of balls Vizio!.Version: 1.4
✓ Horrible appWhy would you have to pay for a simple remote app, I lost my remote and was looking for an app to use until I could find it. I found this first and it’s a subscription service not even like a one time pay. I was able to find a better free app so this one have been deleted from my phone. Not worth it..Version: 1.4
✓ Don’t downloadThis app bombards you with ads and keeps asking you to pay for a $19 subscription. After 10 seconds of use I could no longer use the remote at all, it said “limitation”. You have to pay for it so just don’t download it.Version: 1.4
✓ Sketchy rip offDownloaded the app because the remote isn’t working, the tv is not even 6 months old. Disappointed to find you can’t do anything without the paid subscription. The app also is very sneaky trying to fool you into clicking the button to subscribe. Shady- crappy remote and paid remote app, really? Never buying another Vizio..Version: 1.4
✓ Ease of use48 pages into the manual before you disclose that the viewing device needs to be connected via a separate mobile device that is also connected to wifi. Smartcast is obviously a name chosen by a non native English speaking person. The concept is simple and really didn’t need a lot of improvement. Plug in the box watch tv..Version: 1.4
✓ Render TV worthless with garbage appApplication won’t connect to TV. The remote that came with the TV doesn’t have a menu button. My TV has basically been rendered useless. And last update somehow makes my TV turn on by itself. Thanks for nothing. This will be the first and last Vizio for me.Version: 1.4
✓ You can’t use the buttons without paying for it..Kinda petty but anyways My sons recently lost the tv remote and I was looking for a remote app that I can use for my tv. What threw me off and what caused me to delete the app and give it one star was that you have to pay to use a Simple button? I’m not paying 20 dollars to click a button. It’s ridiculous but anyways I wouldn’t recommend downloading it just to use it for a day not even and pay 20 dollars..Version: 1.4
✓ Cannot connect to TVTrying for an hour to figure out how this app works. Cannot get it to connect to my tv. Also paid for a subscription to see if that would make it work. It did not have any effect! 😡.Version: 1.4
✓ Doesn’t Really WorkI purchased the app because I lost my remote and thought this would be a good solution. Unfortunately, the controls only work for certain apps and it doesn’t work for SmartCast which is pointless because all the apps aren’t available on the phone app. Waste of money, although I think it has potential— potential can’t help me access Disney..Version: 1.4
✓ Occasionally disconnects from tvOccasionally disconnects from tv and I have to do a hard reset to get it running again. Can be annoying. Will just buy new remote..Version: 1.3
✓ Terrible. Just asks for money or ads pop upDownloaded but it won’t connect with the tv As I try to look through the app, almost all it will do is get me to pay or ads pop up. I see there’s a limited version, which I think is free, but clicking on the option either shows I’m not connected or it asks for money again or gives me more ads again..Version: 1.4
✓ Ripping people offI think it's stupid that you pay hundreds of dollars to buy their tvs, but you have to pay to use the tv remote app? definitely money hungry. we're returning and switching back to Roku. their tvs are better anyway. This tv constantly disconnects from our wifi and you can't do anything for hours until it finally decides to connect. Everyone I know that has this Tv, has this problem too..Version: 1.4
✓ HorribleDon’t waste your time or energy or money on this app. It does not work. They don’t respond to emails and therefore I’m now out $20 bucks for something I cannot use. Just go get a universal remote. This wasn’t even worthy of 1 star!.Version: 1.4
✓ Junk app demand purchaseThis app is a waste of time. All the benefits of the app are paid premium service. Silly things like creating a short cut to a favorite app. How disgraceful and rude of Vizio. No shame! After people already purchased the TV itself they then go and do this sort of shenanigans. Low. Very low... And after all that. It slows you down with adds. It’s just a remote app!.Version: 1.4
✓ Don’t waste your money!!!!Was able to connect and control my Vizio tv with the app during the free trial but haven’t been able to since paying for it. Keeps saying searching when the tv is on the same WiFi and visible. There isn’t any helpful information in the “trouble shooting” area of the app either. Don’t waste your money on this!!!!.Version: 1.4
✓ Doesnt workPaid for the premium because it said it would work on my TV. It didn’t. I immediately contacted you so you would not take payment. No response!! The app is not in my subscriptions to cancel either!!.Version: 1.4
✓ AngryNot worth the money after getting this for my vizio tv it wont even connect to my tv spent almost $30 on this app for it to do nothing working on getting my money back definetly dont reccommend it if i could rate it negative stars i would I would appreciate someone telling me how i will be refunded my $60.Version: 1.2
✓ Worthless as a free appWhy bother having a free version if the “Buy Premium” button comes up every single keystroke. Impossible to advance to another screen or get anything done. Download another free version and don’t waste any time on this one..Version: 1.4
✓ A remote with a subscription?I totally understand ads on free to download software, but a subscription to use a remote? And I get hit with it before I even have the thing set up?! No thanks. Can even review the app itself. Never got that far..Version: 1.4
✓ Do not recommendIt worked well during the free trial, but now it will only go to the main menu of my apps and not let me actually click on anything. I have done multiple troubleshoots and checked for updates, but there are none..Version: 1.4
✓ Horrible appTHE MOST USELESS APP EVER. I was able to connect this app to my TV, the only thing I was allowed to do was turn my TV off and on. And when I went to the troubleshoot settings none of those options pertain to my specific needs. I’m ready to throw this television and this app on my phone out of the window in the pouring rain!!! I tried to shut my television off and shut it back on and it would not turn off, I then had to manually turn the TV off myself and I try to use the app once again to click any settings other than the power button and immediately I was kicked off the connection that I originally had with the app in my television and now it does not work. I’m so done with Vizio as a whole 0 STARS!!!!!.Version: 1.4
