Phil : tv remote for Negative User Reviews
✓ Does not workDoesn’t work.Version: 4.1
✓ Il ne marche pasIl me marche pas avec TV phillips.Version: 1.1
✓ UselessThis app is a waste of time. Every time I pressed a button ads would pop up. It doesn’t actually work for your tv even though it shows as connected. It’s only good for seeing a bunch of ads..Version: 3.7.2
✓ Works but needs improvementThis app is simple and functional, and most of it works well. It doesn’t show the same battery drain as the official Philips remote app, so that’s a plus. It did not automatically discover my TV, even though TV and phone were on the same network. I had to manually connect to the TV’s IP address. With my TV model (50PUT6102/79), the SmartTV Button in this app does nothing. The equivalent on the physical remote starts the SmartTV apps..Version: 3.3
✓ AD INFESTED! DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.Every time you click a button an ad will pop up. You won’t even be able to close the ads. It’ll automatically take you to safari. Even if you do get past the ads the remote does not and will not work. Please don’t download this bs. You will be disappointed.Version: 3.3
✓ UselessIf I could give 0/5 stars I would. EVEN GARBAGE IS BETTER THAN THIS.Version: 3.5
✓ Waste of TimeDoesn’t do anything but prompt adds and try to make you pay. I’d like to try it out before I pay but it won’t let you. Don’t waste your time.Version: 4.1

✓ Wow. What rubbish.Minus 8 stars if I could. Don’t waste your time. In fact please download just to see how crap it is. Same user interface as a number of other remotes I’ve tried today.

✓ Pub agressant trop de pubTrop de pub.Version: 3.7.2

✓ Didn't workDidn't work on Philips 4000 series 40PFL4908.Version: 1.1

✓ AwfulConnects to tv but doesnt work since updated to new ios.Version: 3.7.1
✓ It works kind ofI mean it does work but you have to get rid of an add every time you press a button SO ANNOYING.Version: 3.1
✓ Just doesn’t work. Instead plies you with adverts that u can only turn off if you pay £3.Just doesn’t work. Instead plies you with adverts that u can only turn off if you pay £3..Version: 3.7.1
✓ No longer connectsThis app started off fine so I bought the “pro” version. Now it rarely actually works. It finds my tv ok but won’t control it. May just try the Phillips app..Version: 3.6
✓ Terrible!I’ve tried everything and this app does not work. I’ve only ever owned philips TVs and I’ve been able to get other apps to work but this app does nothing it finds your tv but that’s about it because it doesn’t do anything. Don’t waste your time and this is a real shame considering this is an app made especially for philips TVs..Version: 3.6
✓ Ads make it unusableLooked good until full screen ads appeared when pressing buttons. Option to pay to remove ads just gives “error” every time. Have deleted app. 👎.Version: 3.6
✓ Doesn’t workI probably should’ve checked the ratings before downloading, could’ve saved myself some time because it doesn’t work at all..Version: 3.7.2
✓ Doesn’t workI read the review and I must agree it doesn’t work. When I push certain buttons nothing happens but on the enter, etc it goes straight to an ad. This is really to bad because I would love to use my phone..Version: 3.3
✓ Another poor appFinding the tv is a breeze and really quick, but that’s it, no control at all and every five or so taps on the remote usually means you are bombard with an advert, which I would bit mind if I WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO USE THE APP..Version: 3.7.1
✓ Doesn’t workDoesn’t work connected it following all the props..Version: 3.7.1
✓ Waste of TimeIt says that it finds my TV but no matter which button I press it says that it must be connected to WiFi and nothing works. Also even if it did work it pops up an ad every 2 or three clicks. Terrible, do not download!!!.Version: 3.1
✓ Does not work with my TVI have a Phillips Roku TV & neither app works. Nor does SamRemote although no surprise. As info, the SamRemote does work fairly well with my Samsung TV. Just wish it would remember the set & not scan for new connection every time the set is powered/app is launched..Version: 3.6
✓ Works well with iPhone 6Handy to install and set up, your set must be connected to your home network. Works with iPhone 6 but not XR..Version: 3.3
✓ LOSER!!!DO NOT PURCHASE THIS APP!!! Apple should be ashamed of themselves for allowing these remote app scams. That is exactly what they are - A SCAM!!! They scam you with the ease of use, they scam you with their adds, and almost 99% of the time you can’t even get a connect to the actual TV!!! Then they try and through an alternate app for free. WHICH IT IS NOT FREE!!!! SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM......!!!!!!!!.Version: 3.6
✓ Constant ads popping up make it almost impossible to useAs the title says.Version: 3.6
✓ ConnectHave to hold it close to the tv sensor, that's what I did it connect but still not working 👎.Version: 1.2
✓ Cannot find TVNew Philips smart TV. Both on the same WIFI network. Does not work..Version: 1.0
✓ Ads and usageToo many ads and even though my phone was connected to the same WiFi it wouldn’t work and the ads kept popping up..Version: 3.6
✓ The WORST app I’ve ever encountered- EVERDoesn’t work any better than their TVs. HORRIBLE! So many ads streaming across that it’s ridiculous. The app doesn’t work AT ALL. Not at all. It’s a total waste of time. Wish I could rate it in the negative- because 1 star is 100 times better than the rating it deserves. Don’t waste your time. You’ve been warned:)..Version: 3.7.1
✓ SadDoesnt work.Version: 3.6
✓ Don’t waste your timeAfter waiting for the crazy amount of ads to finish their day in the sun I was finally able to scan for my TV. It said it found my TV. I clicked on it and nothing. So, I went through the whole process again of waiting for the ads and scanning and clicking and once again nothing happened..Version: 3.7.2
✓ Click bait trash.App is trash and maybe a scam. Found my smart tv but didn’t work. As you press buttons it randomly throws up full screen ads so if you continue to press the screen you click through to an ad. 🙄.Version: 3.6
✓ CrapDoesn’t work..Version: 3.7.2
✓ Advert cityAdvert every 8 seconds, a joke.Version: 3.7.2
✓ Does not workThe app has you choose your tv to connect to them never connects and does not work to control the tv at all. I tried numerous times..Version: 3.7.2
✓ Doesn’t workFound my tv instantly but doesn’t work on my Philips 4K and there is an AD every couple taps. Absolutely garbage.Version: 3.7.1
✓ ConnectionTrying to scan and connect your TV should not be this hard! I’ve tried for 20mins and it still won’t connect to my TV.Version: 3.7.2
✓ Don’t botherYou all need to fix this!! I’m having same problem the other consumer was back in January and it’s June! Either update and fix the problem or get out of the app business. I hope apple drops you guys..Version: 3.1
✓ So lameDoesn't work. Smh😒.Version: 1.2
✓ Advertising advertising advertising£2.99 for app and every 5 press I need wait 5 seconds as fuc£$#g advertising advertising advertising advertising shame.Version: 3.3
✓ Doesn't work.Won't work for me. Don't waste your time. So disappointed in this crap Philips "smart" tv..Version: 2
✓ I’m sure it’s good but...Every time I go and select an option an advert comes up. I won’t be buying this product even if it is good as I’ve no way of knowing if it is because I can’t see how it works as it’s bombarded me with adverts.Version: 3.6
✓ Seriously!?!?So I get this app thinking it’ll help me out and actually function... nope! Doesn’t work at all! So I think okay, maybe if I pay for the ad removal it’ll work... nope! To the creators of this app, I want my fracking money back you dirty thieves! If I could have taken stars from you I would have! This app is absolute trash!.Version: 3.7.1
✓ If you want to waste time this is great.This app is great for ads. If you thought would control the TV… not even close. If you wanted to watch see ads instead of watching TV than you came to right place. If you wanted a faster way to control the TV instead of looking for the remote, it would probably be faster to order one online than use this to control the TV..Version: 3.7.2
✓ IrritatingSeemed ok but get irritating videos appearing with music / sound every few presses, advertising another remote / upgrade. Also does not seem to have an EPG button so pretty useless. Easier to use the remote from the TV!.Version: 3.7.2
✓ Connects but doesn’t work .This app will allow the app to connect to your tv but it will not work , I connected mine to my tv and pushed “ Start to scan “ it found my tv but it did not work none of the controls where doing anything ...Version: 3.6
✓ Does not work. App created to annoy users.🥲.Version: 3.7.2
✓ Just a bad appLiterally just doesn’t work. Don’t waste your time trying to make it work. It’s not a phone thing or anything like that; multiple people tried where I’m at, didn’t work. Not an old tv either; perfectly up to date. Just a bad app with a load of ads. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.Version: 3.7.1
✓ Horrible doesn’t workFirst time I opened the app it scanned for my tv and found it right away. I proceeded to press every single button none of them worked. I then went to see if it was paired and scanned again 5 times and this time it would not find my tv. Every single button brings up an add and sometimes even a video add. Very frustrating and doesn't work at all!.Version: 3.3
✓ Can’t connect to TVWhen I search for my TV, it shows up and I click it. Then nothing happens. And it also doesn’t help that this review system does white text on a white background….Version: 3.7.2
✓ Dont workNot worth it.Version: 3.6
✓ Bit of a waste of timeCan’t change input sources or picture size.Version: 3.3
✓ Doesn’t workDownloaded follow instructions and lots of Ads..Version: 3.7.2
✓ Waste of timeNot only do I get an ad every time I press a button which is ridiculous the remote does not really reflect a proper choice of buttons like the normal Phillips remote would..Version: 3.3
✓ Does not work!! Waste of timeDoes not work!! Waste of time.Version: 3.6
✓ Too many advertsApp as a remote works perfectly fine however far too many adverts. Should be w version where you can pay to remove the adverts as it takes forever to search for anything.Version: 3.7.1

✓ F UThis is a scam stupid people wasting our time.Version: 3.3
✓ Didn't workWas a shame it didn't work. Tried to manually connect using IP addy but still no luck.Version: 1.2
✓ It doesn't workI can't rate an app that doesn't work.Version: 1.1
✓ Scam or an app that never workedIf I could give it negative stars I would. App doesn’t move when I try to troubleshoot or look for help if says I need membership, so I make the stupidest decision I’ve ever made, and paid the 2.99. The app still doesn’t move or work, or maybe not for Philips tv ? Idk but please be smart and don’t pay the membership when it doesn’t work..Version: 3.7.2
✓ JunkPhilips tv is garbage. I have a brand new Philips 5000 series 4K ULTRA HD TV model#50PLF5603/F7 TV WORKS GREAT, however no apps will work, and the remote that comes with the tv is literally the worst quality remote I’ve ever used. It is so light and very weak. The buttons are so hard to push and it is such a pain to push a button ten times for it to actually work smh.Version: 3.3
✓ Stopped workingUsed to work, now no longer does.Version: 3.7.1
✓ CrapIt finds the network address of the tv during the scan. The problem is when you try any of the functions it states that there is no network connection..Version: 3.1
✓ GarbageSuch a garbage app. You pay to remove adds because there’s SO MANY. And it still doesn’t work!! Wth.Version: 3.7.2
✓ BAD BAD BADTrash & Garbage together would equal This APP 💥 Roasted.Version: 3.3
✓ Detected network but did not workThe app detected the devices on my network but it did not work . An add for Discount+ kept popping up every time I tried to use the app to change the channel, volume, and use other functions..Version: 3.7.1
✓ Too many ads to workEvery time I pressed a control command on the app I got an ad to join Facebook, of which I’m already a member, and the ad look like it was not from Facebook. I deleted the application from my phone it’s a waste of time.Version: 3.7.1
✓ Horrible remote won’t work on philips 4KI have a Philips 4K TV. I downloaded this app to use for my tv. Doesn’t work. It will say on the app connected to t.v. It’s sad when a specific app for a product doesn’t work. It’s specifies Philips TVs ??? Man the adds just come and go when you try to do anything as well. In app purchase. Try the free version. Don’t pay for the subscription unless your remote works as described. Now to find a universal remote. Do not recommend this remote.Version: 3.7.2
✓ Not connecting even after manual enter☹️☹️☹️😡😡.Version: 3.3
✓ Adds every second.Too bad.Version: 3.7.2
✓ Was in hospital when free trial endedHad no access to end before automatically charged, requested a refund considering the situation, but the money was more important. It’s only $5, but after a $3000 hospital bill, it just really stung, especially since I never got the app to do what I had gotten it for..Version: 3.7.2
✓ Crashes every time on iPhone VRThought I would try it but never ever worked.Version: 3.3
✓ Doesent workIts doesent seem to detect my tv for some reason.Version: 1.2
✓ This is kind of STEALINGThis app just made for stealing from users who downloaded it. This is not working at all but developer earns money by ADS. In fact they are stealing from our packets by pushing ADS when you opened app and trying to connect it. Unfortunately have to tap a star for registering review,otherwise even half star is too much for these thieves. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT.Version: 3.7.1
✓ Disgusting Waste of Time!!!I don’t know if you get paid per download but this and every other app you have is a complete waste of time Apple really should do something about you! You’re also a terrible person!.Version: 3.3
✓ Upgraded tv software now remote not workingUsed to work then tv update now nothings.Version: 3.6
✓ Doesn't workConnects to TV but nothing works..Version: 3.3
✓ Good luckIn my opinion I wouldn’t waste my time again. Downloaded the app followed all the directions, still nothing. Even went the extra step further to input the IP address myself, still nothing. Complete waste of time you get nothing other than ads when trying to use the remote even when it tells you it’s found your tv and it’s connected. Quite annoying!.Version: 3.6
✓ Doesn’t workWaste of time.Version: 3.7.2
✓ Terrible!For full remote functionality you must pay the ridiculous £4.99 a week! Shameful as I didn’t mind the ads.Version: 4.1
✓ Garbage and scamShame!.Version: 3.7.2
✓ Fingernails on chalk boardOne start only cause there is no negative star rating ..... SO EVERYTHING LITERALLY EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THIS Phillips TV all apps all my time all the money I saved NOT worst $&)(:& electronic devices I have ever owned my Toaster works better and has faster processing speeds this 55 in TV has been a train wreck the wifi receiver TRASH THE screen mirror hahahahah trash all apps including this one trash Phillips it's time to give up on TV's.Version: 3.3
✓ Bad adsApp works great but the ads are unbearable, after about 3 button presses you’ll get an ad then another after 3 presses and so on. It becomes very annoying to use.Version: 3.7.1
✓ AdsWay too much ads.Version: 3.7.2
✓ CrapIf I could delete it twice without downloading it again I would. Worse app ever won’t scan for Wi-Fi instead scams you and plays a ad..Version: 3.7.2
✓ PURE CRAPDoes not work what so ever.Version: 2
✓ Doesn't workWould not connect to my tv!.Version: 1.2
✓ Not starting off so greatI click the tv I want then it ask if I want to download another app I click no and I won’t connect. So i connect one time and it’s done? I don’t want the other app I just want to connect to my tv without 12 million questions!!.Version: 3.7.2
✓ Very disappointedVery disappointed, never works.Version: 3.7.1
✓ Ads ads ads ads adsWay to many ad pop ups when your trying to use the remote. Really really annoying.Version: 3.7.1
✓ Works great but ....The app works perfectly fine, no problems with it at all. However, the number of adverts is ridiculous. I get that when something is free adverts can generate some revenue for the developer, but every five or six clicks there’s an advert. Makes it difficult to put a password in or search for a particular tv show and for me unusable..Version: 3.7.1
✓ Does not work. WASTE OF A DOWNLOAD!Does not work. Don’t waste your time. It shows the tv but never actually controls it. Ever time you press a button, for example the volume up button 1 time an ad pops up. This happens ever time you press a button and it does not control the tv. WASTE OF A DOWNLOAD!.Version: 3.7.1
✓ Conned into writing 1st 5* reviewApp was good the occasional ad, then pop up said review app to use without ads. I reviewed it and was good app updates 2 days later. And constant bombardment with adverts literally after every 5 button press. Now unusable. Such a pity!!! Was 5* now wish I could give it 0*.Version: 3.1
✓ Not a smart app.It doesn’t work..Version: 3.7.2
✓ What a joke....I’ll try to find a quality Philips Smart TV remote online. I can’t even attempt to turn the volume up (didn’t even work btw) without an ad popping up. Back to back. All reviews about that are correct. 🙄.Version: 3.6
✓ AnnoyedDoesn't work.Version: 2.1
✓ Worse than uselessI downloaded the app and started it. It scanned for my TV for about 2 seconds, then started playing a video ad. This app is bad. The developer is a bad person..Version: 1.2
✓ Basically useless right nowI have the paid version but is not worth it. It is completely unresponsive..Version: 3.7.2
✓ Impossible to use itThe amount of adds poping up constantly make the app useless.Version: 3.1
✓ Just unbelievable...It connected to my Philips tv and is able to control it but EVERY TIME you press a button another add pops up. Every single time. Needless to say I deleted it immediately. I was willing to pay for it but it was so greedy that it was just disgusting..Version: 3.7.2
✓ WorthlessThis app did nothing but pop up adds when I tried to use it. It never worked with my TV and it was a complete waste of my time. You would think that a company like Phillips would have but more R&D in a product that represents them..Version: 3.7.1
✓ Doesn’t Work!Remote doesn’t work. Tried to troubleshoot shoot through customer service chat. They ask for a screenshot of the remote. Never heard from them again. Can’t get them to respond again....Version: 3.3
✓ Not workingGarbage too many ads.Version: 3.7.2
✓ HORRIBLE WITH ADS!!DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP!! tried getting this app after losing the remote too many times, looked a bit sketchy but that “eh what the heck” so i install it and it asked to sync through bluetooth which was quick and perfect! After trying multiple times near AND FAR the remote still did not work and stupid ads kept interfering!! IS THIS A FREAKIN VIRUS!!?? DO NOT GET! if i could give zero stars i would..Version: 3.7.2
✓ RemoteIt won’t work on my tv.Version: 3.7.2
✓ Useless ad spamming appPhillips either get in or get out of the smart TV business. you have other great products, this is one you fall way short on. Tv is good... smart tv is a reach at best. This app finds the TV, you choose it, it looks like it will work, but does nothing other than pop up ads. Have some more respect for your company. Don’t download this app it’s worthless..Version: 3.3
✓ Doesn't work, never has!I've been trying to get this and many other Philips app's to work for 2 years now. Have done everything possible. Changed network configurations to no end. Configured PC settings, router settings, wireless setting, tried deferent iOS devices,downloaded TV firmware, tried older TV firmware, modem configurations, bought new routers and then some. When I did get close, I continued to get device errors, wrong format errors, does not support device errors. Changed my PC settings,including sharing devices, mapping drives and folders, updated from Windows 7 to 10 operating systems. Absolutely the worst support service. I've spent over 40 hours trying to get this to work. If only 1 person gets this working, I sure would like to know who they are. Don't wast your time unless you call Philips up and get them to promise to fix it or give you the TV for free. What a joke from what was one of the best companies in the world at one time. Yes, they did invent the CD back in the 70's years before anyone knew what it was. Gone from best to last. What a shame..Version: 2
✓ FULL OF ADSWay too many ads. After every 1 or 2 touches you get an advert on the screen. Considering we buy the Philips products we should get this app ad free for being a Philips customer..Version: 3.7.1
✓ Didn’t workConnected to my tv, but wouldn’t actually do anything for the tv..Version: 3.6
✓ Useless. Trust Me.I tried the new update and same results. They are just trying to get people to tap ads. Sad. My TV comes up as comparable but still the buttons do nothing. And then on every 6th Tap you get a surprise ad. Don’t waste your time, it's a gimmick. This simply does not work for any TV. Apple, come on. Stop allowing this..Version: 3.3
✓ Don’t WorkI’m with them. This app is useless. The only good thing it let you connect to your phone. I did changing password and all to my WiFi just got it not to even work. Smh. Either take the app off or improve it..Version: 3.3
✓ Good luckThe app works fine, but the amount of ads is absurd, I’m fine with some ads, but almost every time I change channel? Too much.Version: 3.7.2
✓ Does not workThis is just a way to get people to watch ads. The app doesn’t work..Version: 3.3
✓ Muchos anunciosHay demasiados anuncios y ni siquiera se conecta a la TV. Muy mala.Version: 3.1
✓ Doesn't workDoesn't work.Version: 1.1
✓ Absolute RubbishDo not waste time in using this app. It does not work. In fact all it does is take you to adverts on every button you press. Zero stars would be more appropriate..Version: 3.3
