Remote TV Control for Negative User Reviews
✓ Doesn’t workThis app doesn’t work on the Apple Watch..Version: 3.3
✓ No pointI downloaded this app because my dog ate my remote while I was in work. Once downloaded I tried to connect my phone to my tv however you need to accept the request for connection on the TV. Which I can only do with my remote!!!!!.Version: 3.3
✓ RubbishDoesn’t work. After taking a long time to find the tv and selecting it nothing happens and goes back to the device selection in a loop.Version: 3.3
✓ ConnWaste.Version: 3.0
✓ More adds than televisionI would rather be stuck on a foreign channel on level 100 volume than use this app. It’s set so you press so many buttons (not many) and a video-add will come on. Constantly. It’s infuriating. Who the hell wants to pay to use a phone-remote for no adds? (As tempting as it is at the time to not watch 30 adds just for channel surfing) I’ll just pay for some batteries..Version: 2.6
✓ Doesn’t worth the money at allI paid for te premium + version because i have a new samsung tv and an apple watch i thought it would be a great addition to control my tv system but after wasting my money the app doesn’t even work on my watch and half of the option offer in the app can’t be use in the phone a have to use my remote soo what’s the point ... all that combined with an app that bug and doesn’t respond well !👎🏽 maybe a nice app to control your volume but dont waste your money go with the free version.Version: 3.3
✓ Not worth itIt’s not worth it. It’s really slow, and the worse part is. You have to connect the remote and allow it access each time you turn it on. You can’t even exit the apt and do other stuff on your phone, because if you try to go back, the app requires you once again to allow it access. So don’t get comfortable or exit the app. You might have to get off the couch each and every single time to manually allow it access. Super annoying and inconvenient..Version: 3.2
✓ Poor !You need a working remote to set up and the ads just keep coming full screen again and again and again. Buy a new remote for less than upgrade..Version: 2.4
✓ Unreal Ads!!Just couldn’t believe how bad the ads were! Absolutely no way I could handle the free version. Complete waste of time!.Version: 3.4
✓ BadApplication does not work well and works very poorly with the watch. I do not advise.Version: 3.3
✓ No goodIt worked great the first time. After that it couldn't find the tv. Useless....Version: 2.4
✓ Absolute Con for Apple Watch AppI wanted this app for the Apple Watch, for which I paid the premium of £5.99 to use it on my Apple Watch series 5, 44mm. And it doesn’t work!! If you’re using it on the phone it’s great and works straight away, but try to use the app on the watch and it doesn’t respond, complete rip off and waste of £6!!! Absolute Con!.Version: 3.3
✓ MehJust charge for us to use the app. Its annoying..Version: 2.4
✓ I dont know ...Bought the prenium the app is now opening on my watch but none of the fonction works it only work on my phone.Version: 3.3
✓ Doesn’t work with Apple Watch Series 5I had to pay £6 just to use it on my Apple Watch 44mm Series 5. And it doesn’t respond The app works alright, but absolutely nothing with the Apple Watch Rip off.Version: 3.3
✓ Basic Functionality Doesn’t workThis app just connects to the TV and plays ads. You can’t even change the channel..Version: 3.3
✓ Worst appsCan’t use it at all.Version: 2.4
✓ AliCan’t get it to work😐😕.Version: 2.6
✓ TerribleI hate this worthless excuse for an app, the absolute worst tv remote app I’ve ever come across. It constantly disconnects from my tv forcing me to reconnect it again, and the money hungry developers of this app throw irrelevant boring ads at you every 10 seconds when you’re using the app. Do not get this app I hate it and so will you.Version: 2.6
✓ Rip offThis is a complete rip-off you have to buy more expensive version just to turn the television on and off..Version: 3.3
✓ Sony remoteUseless.Version: 2.6
✓ Does not workHad to buy it to get to sink and then it does not work..Version: 2.6
✓ Keeps turning TV back onEvery time i try to turn my TV off, the app keeps turning it back on. And I paid for premium too.... I will probably try to get my money back since this is a really bad bug..Version: 3.3
✓ Click bait all features are premiumUnable to perform any features this app has without first paying for premium. Therefore this app has zero free features, and may as well have had the charge at the beginning..Version: 3.3
✓ Doesn’t workIt detects my tv’s but doesn’t connect with them it just lets me click them then just keeps showing me a list of my tv’s then closing the app and reopening shows me a remote for each tv but none work.Version: 3.3
✓ £5.99 to unlock a feature that doesn’t workPaid £5.99 to unlock the Apple Watch feature which simply does not work at all in any shape or form. Completely and totally useless. AVOID THIS APP!.Version: 3.3
✓ HorribleToo much ads.Version: 3.4
✓ Future updatesSo I’ve have had this app for a couple of months now with the premium options and so far for a smart Samsung tv remote it’s ok one big downfall from this & can be easily fix I think is the constant crashes of the app other than that I really enjoy using this app and would recommend for a future update wish there was a landscape mode for iPad support.Version: 2.6
✓ Brutal appDon’t bother. It doesn’t work..Version: 3.3
✓ Too many adsThis app has more ads than is acceptable for a TV remote app. Period. The $9.99 price to remove ads and let you add a little more customization to the app is way too high. I think a lot of people would be much more interested in buying premium if the price was either $.99 or $1.99. The developer would make much more from the higher volume of purchases than they are now with ads subsidizing the fewer people buying the $9.99 package. This is basic economics that they still don’t understand even with all of the negative reviews saying exactly the same thing..Version: 3.3
✓ “Not Supported”Every time I try connect the app to my tv it just keeps saying “The H & J series are not yet supported using this app. However you can control the volume and the mute.” When in fact you can’t control anything..Version: 2.4
✓ WASTE OF MONEYApp not working.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Bait and switchI’d rather know your product is going to cost $ upfront vs advertising it as free when it only has a very minor functionality for it; with the minor functionality being absolutely riddled with advertisements.Version: 3.3
✓ Missing featuresI enjoy this app except after paying for the premium version where it said there was a widget with the premium version, I can’t find a widget to add to my phone.Version: 3.3
✓ Won’t connect and paid for premium!Tried everything wont connect to my wifi and I paid for premium🤦🏻♀️.Version: 2.6
✓ Constant bugs, no helpDon’t bother buying the app, there’s popup bugs that you can’t fix and the devs don’t care about..Version: 2.6
✓ Dumb appI can not believe you have to pay to be able to turn the tv on now, stupid app.Version: 3.0
✓ Very Bad App with no senseThis app was made in a very bad way. Why does a remote have so many ads ? It’s not even reasonable to ask to verify the app with a remote what if you lost the remote and that’s why you have the app? The people who made this app didn’t even think properly.Version: 3.4
✓ Good when it worksRegular says I haven’t bought it when I have. Constantly have to redown load it.Version: 3.4
✓ Just stupid!!!The app on the phone works well, but the Apple Watch won’t work unless the app is open on your phone. Doesn’t make a lot of sense!!!!! Why would you go through the trouble of opening the app on your phone, and then opening the app app on your watch? By that time I could just go get a real Remote and use it. Just ridiculous! And you don’t find out that the watch does not work without the app open on your phone until after you purchase the app. I guess by then they really don’t care, they already have your money.Version: 2.6
✓ I hate apps like thisThe app works I will give that but I just hate that everyone who makes something great has to be so money hungry because the fact is you could’ve released a free app that controls your TV but no you wanted to create a premium version and I thought to myself who the hell is going to buy a premium version of a TV remote when you could just go by the remote from LG itself but I’ve seen a lot of people in the comments by it and it’s actually stupid but what made me give this app a one star is like I stated before a premium that is totally unnecessary I pressed the home button to try to change to HDMI one so that I could play Warframe and immediately I get a pop-up talking about upgrade to premium and I’m just sitting there speechless like why should I have to pay premium to use arrows on the remote for my phone this whole money hungry thing is very stupid you can just as easily ask for donations everybody who makes apps is so money hungry I remember when I was a child there were free apps you could play apps free and there was no hassle but this is truly ridiculous do not buy the premium and do not download this app.Version: 2.6
✓ Read before you buy!I wish I would have taken my own advice! I bought the app and then realized I’m having the same experience as so many others. The app works on my phone just fine, other than the fact that I have to “restore my $4.99 purchase” just about everyday. The app works on my watch, only if I first open it on my phone, which completely defeats the point of using the watch app, which, for me, was the reason I spent the money. That and the adds were out of control. Don’t waste your money!.Version: 2.6
✓ Syncing Stuck in LoopNot sure what the deal is here - just purchased this remote and I got it working for a couple hours and now it’s not syncing It froze my tv, where I had to physically unplug it to turn off. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled but it no longer is finding my TV. 😡 Wanting a refund!!!.Version: 3.3
✓ Terrible. Doesn’t even work.I didn’t want this remote. Apple automatically replaced my previous remote with this one after updating to iOS 15. Took away half the functionality. Please fix!!!!.Version: 3.4
✓ Doesn’t work. Doesn’t work, crashes when I selected my tv then connected to another device without me selecting it..Version: 3.3
✓ Keeps asking TV remote to confirm phone use!Very frustrating. I thought the whole point of this app was that you didn’t need to use the remote. Every time I grab my mobile to use the remote app the tv asks me to confirm this access by pressing the remote!.Version: 2.6
✓ Connects with 2 adds in 10 secondsLegitimately connects to Samsung television using WiFi and it is simple to connect. However it is not useful at all; I went to click the first button and instead of sending a command I got an add. Then the button I was pushing didn’t even end up working after the add, it said command unavailable on the tv. I moved tabs in the app to attempt a different command, this is now three clicks on the screen, so the app sent another add. Now a pop up would be one thing, full fledged video adds though with a countdown on the skip button? Really not worth the users time to struggle with using this app simply to grease the programmers pockets with add revenue..Version: 2.4
✓ SheetSheet remote.Version: 3.5.1
✓ BadBad and bad.Version: 2.4
✓ The ads are ridiculousI love the ap itself but these ads are driving me crazy. After roughly every 3rd or 4th push of a button, it plays another ad. I was trying to type in my email address and like 6 ads popped up. If I had even a pinch less patience, I probably would have thrown my phone at the TV because that’s how frustrating the amount of ads is..Version: 3.3
✓ 1 starNot working even said that just volume and mute for free but not working💀💀.Version: 2.6
✓ Doesn’t work!So gutted my sister had this app and it worked for her but this doesn’t work for me at all. Not to connect to Tv or Ps5. I’m sad wished it worked..Version: 3.5.2
✓ Terrible RemoteTerrible app, won’t connect to the TV after the first use. Every couple of times of pressing a button such as the volume an ad pops up, so try and change the volume up or down 6 times you will have to close 3 pop up ads. Pretty much useless unless you want to pay for premium..Version: 3.3
✓ Works when it worksPaid the extra a while ago and when it works it works well. But many times it won’t connect to the tv even though the wifi is on. You can sit there for 20min trying to turn it on. Sometimes even trying to turn it back on only a few minutes after you turned it off!! My tv often has updated, but you don’t get updates on the remote app. I don’t think the app has ever updated in over three years!!?? At least it has never prompted me to..Version: 3.5.2
✓ Worked well, now it doesn’t.It worked great for two months. I purchased the premium pack as a replacement remote for my TV is $60, and most universal remotes don’t work well with my TV (Samsung 4K smart tv). However, one day the app stopped working. It says connect to the same network as my TV (which it is), but, it keeps saying can’t connect. I guess $5 for two months is better than nothing (why it’s not a 1star rating). I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no go..Version: 2.4
✓ UpsetWhen I opened it, It didn’t connect with my tv. This app showed my tv that’s all..Version: 3.3
✓ The mass abundance of ads make this unusableI was able to connect to my TV with no problem. The tour was a bit annoying and you cannot skip it. However what turns me away from this app is the fact that there is an ad on every three button prices. Imagine if I have to type something. Because of this it doesn’t make me want to pay either. If there are so many ads within the free version, what data am I giving away in the paid version. The idea is that when you pay is supposed to be better. However, the free version has so many ads, I’m afraid I’m going to lose my money paying for it and it is not worth it. For now I’ll Take out my good old HTC phone and use the infrared through there And remove this app immediately..Version: 2.6
✓ Wasted MoneyDoesn't work most of the time. Swipe to navigate never works. Never connects to Wi-Fi takes way too long and when it does it just disconnects had to pay $11.99 twice and still doesn't work. Not impressed at all! Don't waste your money!!.Version: 3.4
✓ Poor qualityExtremely poor quality..Version: 3.3
✓ Doesn't work.Signed up for premium service. This app is poorly designed and does work..Version: 3.4
✓ Doesn’t connect to TVMade the rookie mistake of paying for it because I liked the look of it before reading the comments. Emailed the app developer no reply...Version: 2.2
✓ Used to work really well...now it’s uselessI bought the premium version and it worked really well for over a year. I could use the app to turn on the TV, control volume and use all relevant buttons. After the last update, every time I try to use the app, there is a message on the screen that asks me to use the TV’s remote to allow my phone to connect to the TV. This app NO LONGER WORKS AS AN ADDITIONAL REMOTE. You need the original TV remote every time you want to use the app..Version: 3.5.1
✓ AppThis app is not working it is also not allowing me to click it and I’ve lost the remote so now I don’t know what to do I hope you fix this app earlier the better.Version: 2.6
✓ Doesn’t connect.It looks like a good product but does not connect to the TV. It says it has to be on same internet network but it is on the same network. It correctly identifies the name of the TV but not connect..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Works well …but recently can’t find TVThis app was wonderful for a while but suddenly it stopped working and it appears as “ cannot find the TV”. Its status says it must be on the same Wi-Fi network. My TV is connected over ethernet and not using Wi-Fi but it’s always been that way, but now it seems to not be able to find it. Advice anyone?.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Waste of moneyStupid App.Version: 3.3
✓ Works til after you purchase the premiumThis was working for about 3 days, now it’s not working at all. There was a bunch of ads, and it got to the point where you either paid to get rid of the ads or uninstalled. I paid for the premium and now it won’t turn on my tv at all! This app was good in the beginning, now it’s just absolute crap! I wouldn’t recommend this garbage app to anyone! The same thing happened to my boyfriend when he downloaded the app too, so it’s not just me! Devs, I would like a refund, but I highly doubt that will happen.Version: 2.4
✓ Does not workCannot Connect Any Devices Waste is time..Version: 3.3
✓ Stupid!Just wasted my money paying for an app I can’t use!! You need your remote to allow permission but I have no remote!!!! If I had a remote I wouldn’t need the app. DUH.Version: 3.3
✓ This app isn’t working!This app started working so well but after a few days, it stopped working and started saying “tv isn’t found” even though I was trying so hard to connect it. Please fix this..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Random paymentsThey charged me for a yearly membership even though i did not have the app downloaded.Version: 3.5.2
✓ Scam!Paid for the app and it worked twice, now it says it’s connected to the tv and won’t work!.Version: 2.4
✓ This product is wasteWaste of money and time. Don’t buy. Can’t change channels and switch off/on tv. Can’t return either.Version: 2.6
✓ Hassle to useI mean it does what it’s advertised to do but in a crappy way. I was testing it out to see if it actually worked and it did by shutting off the TV after trying to turn my TV back on a pop up came up to tell me that the power button was behind a paywall. I closed the app and it reset. Was able to turn my tv back on after spamming the hell out of the power button. I can see why people hate Samsung remotes now..Version: 3.3
✓ Useless DONT DOWNLOADI’ve now paid for 2 different version both are trash. Don’t waste your time. Least affective app I’ve ever used.Version: 3.3
✓ No alpha keyboardShould have listened to to the reviews. Was looking for an interface to navigate the internet better so I could stream digital radio through my new soundbar via the TV. No curser control or alpha keyboard despite paying..Version: 2.4
✓ Don’t buy if you want supportBought full app version for Apple Watch app, discovered the watch app doesn’t work most of the time. I contacted support for help, heard nothing, followed up, never heard heard back from them..Version: 3.3
✓ Free version is completely unusableAds every 5 taps or so. Crazy..Version: 3.3
✓ Pairing/Connection is impossible to Hisense Smart TVUnable to connect iPhone SE remote app to Hisense Smart TV.Version: 2.4
✓ Keeps disconnectingThe app keeps disconnecting from my tv which defeats the purpose of having the remote on my phone and I paid for the upgraded version..Version: 3.4
✓ .Doesn’t connect to tv anymore completely freezes and app closes by itself often, was a good app while it lasted 👍🏼.Version: 2.5
✓ Don’t even waste your time looking at this appShitApp so full of adds you can’t even use it.Version: 3.3
✓ Failed AppI downloaded this app because I cannot find my TV remote. First of all, when selecting my TV, it says please wait until the search is complete. This is when I found the first problem, it would NOT stop searching. Therefore, I could NOT select a tv. Clearly, all of the eligible televisions appeared on the screen but because it was still “searching” it would not allow me to click the tv I wanted to connect to. Second, they had spelling errors. I don’t know about you but I don’t trust anyone who can’t spell. Especially not with my money. The screen where it had me waiting FOREVER to search for eligible TV’s said “please wait until your smart tv SEACH within the network ends.” SEACH...? Where is the R? And this is supposed to be a Samsung app??? Like, what?.Version: 3.3
✓ Ads and crippled functionality…$26 to get basic functionality without ads? That’s pitiful :(.Version: 3.4
✓ DisgustedI am disgusted, paid £5.99 for premium and the only button that works is the Netflix one, then you can’t do anything else on the app. I’m not happy with this app at all.Version: 2.6
✓ TerribleIt keeps disconnecting every now and then! Before updating to the latest version, it used to be OK, I used to just search the TV again and it would be fine. But since the recent update, I can’t get it connected at all. DO NOT UPDATE IT! Not only many features that were available before are now available to premium users (even though I have purchased the app but they have managed to define other premium accounts to take more money!), it is absolutely useless right now since it does not get connected to the TV at all. TV and router are the same, but the stupid update has ruined the connection..Version: 3.3
✓ Great, EXCEPTThis is a really great app except that there’s an add every 5-10 seconds. Really wish I was exaggerating, here. There were no less than 3 Final Fantasy adds in the time it took me to navigate through my input sources and scroll over to the app on the TV that I wanted to launch. While I appreciate that the developers need to earn money for their work and that equates to ads, I’d like to be able to actually experience the functionality of the app before deciding whether to pay for premium..Version: 2.4
✓ Does not workJust paid for the extra feature to turn the TV on because I’d lost the remote and cannot find the on button on the frame …. only to find I can’t use the on off button until the tv is on. Please return my payment. Would have been nice to know that before I paid. Thanks.Version: 3.4
✓ App requires permission using manufacturer’s remotePaid for upgraded remote. When I try to use the app, a window pops up on my new Samsung qled tv that requires me to approve the app to connect to the tv. The only way to approve it is with the manufacturer’s remote. Defeats the purpose of having a remote on your phone. Once I approve it, the app works fine. But if I can’t find the other remote or say my puppy has chewed it up so it no longer functions, then this app is useless..Version: 2.4
✓ WorstFraud app, doesn’t even connect. Please don’t use this app not worth it.Version: 2.6
✓ Paid for what premium??I’ve never written a review so this is huge for me. I paid for premium to eliminate the annoying constant ads and to eliminate every 24 hours having to delete and reinstall the app because it tells me to reconnect to WiFi when it is in fact connected. I would like my money back for the past 3 months I’ve paid for premium. It’s an ok app if you do not purchase premium. I’ll definitely change my rating if this issue is corrected..Version: 2.4
✓ AdsToo many ads.Version: 3.3
✓ TheivesI bought the full version and nothing changed! Shame!.Version: 3.3
✓ Pretty...USELESSLooks pretty, but does nothing. Finds devices OK, but can’t connect to ANYTHING!!! Supposed to work with Hisense Smart TV, which we have..Version: 2.4
✓ Would not recommend for constant useI get that any developer will need some sort of income for their app, but the amount of how many ads come up every time I want to lower or raise the volume is insane. I would recommend anyone who thinking about getting this app to not get it. Seriously just lowering the volume by 10 levels I got five ads that have the tiniest x to close them. To the developer, lower the amount of how much ads come up and people will use this more, just the amount of ads made me never want to shell over 10 dollars to you..Version: 3.3
✓ Works fine, too many addsIt connect to my tv in the matter of seconds, but after about five or six taps on the screen you have an add. This gets really annoying especially when your trying to type something using the little arrows and okay button. I do know that you can buy the premium pack, but five dollars is a bit much for a normal remote. I do also wish that it came with a keyboard outside of the premium pack (I only got this for a keyboard), but they don’t have that so you still will have to pay 5 dollars. I was debating if I should give this 2 or 3 stars and I decided to give this a three since it worked perfect but I really only had a problem with the adds and the absence of a keyboard..Version: 2.4
✓ ReviewWorks excellent, get bombarded by advertisements though That’s why the 3 stars.Version: 2.6
✓ No help from developerI emailed asking for help to the developer of this app since this paid app that i purchased is bot working. It has been a week and no reply at all. Not to mention i was asking refund as i purchased 2 packages by mistake. I needed a refund for the basic package since i want the premium package for this. Because of this, i just want my money back. Email i sent monday, june 15, 2020 Please help me with this app, i purchased the premium package but it does not do anything with the tv. My tv is connected with the same wifi as my phone and watch. If this cnt be resolved, please refund me my money back Do not remove the text below: Inside: 101 Version: 3.3.5.Version: 3.3
✓ Ad SimulatorAd pops up every 5 taps. Absolute garbage look elsewhere.Version: 3.3
✓ Painful to useUnstable and with nonsense pop up messages making the up impossible to use..Version: 2.6
✓ Didn’t think it through...Idiots. It won’t let me pair with the TV unless I confirm using a remote connected to the TV. But if I had a remote connected to the TV, I wouldn’t need the app..Version: 3.3
✓ Don’t waste your timeThis was good for like a month then it updated and changed a bunch of features. I bought the upgrade version then it updated again only to find out half of the features were behind a paywall again things a scam trying to get you to keep buying features that should already be included.Version: 3.4
✓ Constant adsTerrible app. Features don’t work and constant apps.Version: 3.3
✓ Too Many AdsSimply too many ads - almost makes the app unworkable..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Apple Watch failUpgraded to premium and Apple Watch still not supported.Version: 3.3
✓ Wasted moneyIt doesn’t work and won’t let me make any changes in thr screen after upgrading to premium. Wasted my money.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Very basic featuresOnly offers very basic feature like channel up and down. Volume up and down and the ok and back button and the up, down, left and tight button. To have access to the rest of the remote like the 0-9 button keypad, you have to upgrade to premium for £5 and it also throws ads at you every few clicks so I’m sure you can imagine how annoying it is when you’re watching the tv while using this app to change channel, next thing you notice is that the channel isn’t changing anymore so you look at your phone to see that you’re now on the App Store because an ad popped up while you were trying to change channel without you knowing.Version: 2.4
✓ Very bad and is full of advertisingI won’t normally write reviews but this one is too bad app for free users. Every time you press a button an advertisement starts. Not functioning properly and it shows connected but no buttons working properly. Not sure all these feedbacks are genuine....Version: 3.3
✓ RepeatEvery time you open the app it asks mirroring like 5 times, and this is the paid version.Version: 2.6
✓ BLots of advertisements Hardly able to use app.Version: 2.4
✓ Worked until upgradeSeems to be the norm it works the adds annoy u so u by the premium and it stops working steer clear.Version: 2.6
✓ Délais +++L’app connecte avec ma smart TV mais il y a un délais considérables lorsque j’appuie sur une commande et l’activation de celle-ci sur ma TV... très désagréable. Lorsque j’appuie sur l’icône de Netflix, ça ne redirige même pas sur l’app Netflix. Pire 14$ investit..Version: 3.3
✓ Ads after payingWhy am I paying $20 for ads?.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Worse app, too much adsThere is ads every 2 seconds. This app just can’t be used.Version: 3.3
✓ To many addsAdds make the app useless. Pop up every 2 min.Version: 3.3
✓ Does not work with my Tizen “smart” tv.Why would i pay for all of this?. :(.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Ridiculous advertisingI wish i could give negative stars. Apple should do something about apps that say they are free but have ridiculous level of advertising. This one shows mature content advertisements on ever 5-10 button clicks. So if u want to watch tv and change channels or volume levels, the app goes to completely useless advertisements that have mature content and u are forced to wait 5 secs before closing the advertisements. So much for making you pay 4.99 to buy the premium app..Version: 2.4
✓ Purchased and still lot of features lockedI paid for this and still can not use most of its features. One big issue with this app is that it can’t turn my TV on. What’s the point of app if I have to fetch my remote first and then use the app. 🤦🏻♂️.Version: 3.3
✓ Trash AppWorked for the first day which was nice and convenient but kept saying connecting the next day...of course, when you click on the “Premium Icon” it takes you to the site where you can purchase the app for $4.99 bucks??? What’s the guarantee that the app will work flawlessly after I spend my money??? Like many other apps, certain, basic features, as the app stated it’s a free app, should work and if one wants extra features, buy the premium. Poor business execution. Deleted..Version: 2.4
✓ Worked At First; Now Seeking AlternativeAt first set up, it worked fine. Now, it continually says it can’t connect to the TV. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled more times than I can count to eek out a few clicks of the remote before it drops the connection. I really liked that it had Apple Watch support since I always know that is, and the kids love to hide the remote. I have good internet, so the constant drop out is beyond annoying. I haven’t been able to fix it or figure out what’s causing it. If it would just STAY CONNECTED it would be a great app. But, for now, I’m looking for an alternative..Version: 3.4
✓ Paid $10 dollars...no ads...but glitchyI like the Apple Watch integration and Siri Functionality, but sadly the trackpad tab doesn’t function (what I would have used as my default), the widget I paid extra for can’t locate my tv, thus doesn’t function, and the Apple Watch app works but is slow. It would be great if Samsung just made the app but I realize that won’t happen. It the developer worked out the bugs and dropped the all inclusive price to $6, did away with the confusing and unnecessary premium vs custom they could sweep the whole market and I would give it 5 stars..Version: 3.1
✓ NopeWhen I first got this app it worked fairly well but there was a ton of ads. Every 5-7 clicks an ad would appear so I decided to purchase it for the five dollars. Honestly it only made the app worse it’s constantly glitching and at times won’t even connect to my tv. I thought the purchase would unlock special features but there isn’t even a fast forward option. Often times the app closes itself without warning it’s extremely frustrating. I would not recommend purchasing or even keeping it. I found another remote app that works without all the nonsense this one brings..Version: 2.4
✓ Ads every secondsThis app is useful but after every 2 buttons I press there is a ad just to use a remote.Version: 3.3
✓ Premium with adds????I have bought the premium version but I still get lots of adds. I’m think to delete the app and ask for refund. This is not good guys. Fix this and i probably stay..Version: 2.4
✓ What an absolute rip offThis is the most infuriating app I have ever used. Unless you buy the premium version of this app which believe it or not doesn’t come with the $800 tv you just bought, you will get an add every few clicks. I have no other option but to use this app as the tv remote broke and it is honestly one of the most annoying things in the world and the absolute biggest rip off..Version: 2.6
✓ Doesn’t turn my tv on anymore!I’ve had this app for a few months now & it has worked wonders. Paid for the premium version bc those ads were annoying. But after having it for a few months now it won’t connect to turn my tv on. I had it on a few hours ago, turned it off & now it won’t turn back on with my app. Every time I try sending a report to the maker it says I don’t have a valid email but it is valid soooo🤷🏻♀️.Version: 2.4
✓ CrapAbsolutely crap keeps going to advertisement when using, totally frustrating to use, wants you to buy..Version: 2.4
✓ Ads run way too oftenYou can’t even type half of a word into any search without it interrupting you with an ad... took me 3 minutes just to search a video on YouTube....Version: 3.3
✓ Never worked for my Apple WatchThis remote works fine on my phone but I got it specifically for my watch and it has never worked. Extremely disappointed with this app. The developer sent me a message to update my review but the app still does not work well for my Apple Watch, it is slow and unresponsive. I pressed the power button and it turned off about three minutes later. I will give more stars when it works correctly..Version: 3.4
✓ Ads every secondSo you pay idk how much money for a smart tv and then you gotta pay extra for a smart remote? If you don’t pay you’re getting ads every time you put the volume up so forget it..Version: 3.3
✓ MsPurchased but not working waste of money.Version: 2.6
✓ Couldn't connect to TVIt played four 30-second ads in the three minutes that I had this app. I couldn't connect it to my TV because every time I clicked in or out of the settings it played another ad. Great concept for an app but an incredibly frustrating ad system..Version: 1.1
✓ It’s okI love and hate this app I hate it cause there is lose of adverts but other than that it’s really good.Version: 3.3
✓ Here is my opinion..So when I downloaded the app it was telling about how it works and what it does and stuff. It goes to a connecting system so I can connect my TV to the remote. Something shows up on my tv and it says something like “Do you want to connect Tv Remote?” I press yes and on my phone it says it’s not connected bc the WiFi it probably not the same. I check if the WiFi is connected on my tv. It wasn’t connected to I fixed it and when I tried it again it still wasn’t working. I have tried these a couple of times or like a few and it wasn’t working at all. And every time I tried to click on one of the buttons like right, left, up, down, etc. the same ad shows up and it way too many that I have to delete the app. I know what you are thinking. Why couldn’t you just have used your actual remote. It’s broken and just in case if we get a new one and we break it again. Therefore, I would not recommend getting this app I may work for you but I didn’t work for me. I would rather use another app than this one..Version: 3.3
✓ It works BUTIt works but the non stop ads are very annoying and I definitely don’t want to pay $9.99 for a premium version of something that sometimes doesn’t work. The ads pop up after you hit any button one time. So you’ll put the volume down once and boom an ad, X out of it then click the button two-three more times and boom another ad. Extremely annoying!.Version: 3.3
✓ Ur app is uselessCan not connect to tv please fix problem.Version: 2.6
✓ Doesn’t WorkIt couldn’t connect to my Samsung TV. It doesn’t work..Version: 3.3
✓ This app is rubbish do not waste your money on this.😪.Version: 2.6
✓ Pretty goodThis app is pretty good, but not the best.Version: 3.4
✓ Nope.UPDATE: got a message from the developer that most of the issues were fixed and was asked to reinstall. I did so and I couldn’t get past the connection screen, it kept asking me to make sure the Roku streaming stick is within the same network. Now, it’s possible that the app won’t connect to a Samsung TV with a Roku device, but I am not willing to disconnect my Roku every time I want to control my television, and the app didn’t give me the option otherwise to connect to the television only (though I think that’s stupid that I’d have to do so). Took a star away for my pain and suffering and added a thumbs down 🤷🏻♀️👎👎👎👎 This remote worked great... until it stopped working. After about a month, I would try to turn the tv on or off or mess with the volume, and it wouldn’t connect. I tried resetting my WiFi, deleting and reinstalling the app, disconnecting my device and reconnecting. I even bought the upgrade that allowed multiple TVs, even though I shouldn’t have had to do so (when I deleted the tv I was using via the app and tried to reconnect, the app told me I had to upgrade to use multiple TVs... even though there wasn’t a tv connected). This app turned out to be crap and a waste of money 👎👎👎.Version: 3.1
✓ Doesn’t connect to iwatch 6 seriesI purchased all 3 of the upgrade features for £22+ and it still says on my 6 series watch that I need to pay for the premium upgrade. I emailed the company but not reply..Version: 3.3
✓ No watch sync!I have the series 5 44mm with latest watchOS, everything up to date on my iphone 11 pro max , however the app on the watch doesn’t work! Not saying anything else about the other plans, I went for the 5.99 premium and its a rip off big time since the watch fails to work. So nope, you haven’t fixed your bugs as stated !.Version: 3.3
✓ Not the bestIt is very laggy and there are too many ads then there should be. I will press one button and an add pops up..Version: 3.3
✓ HopelessWaste of time doesn’t sync with the new smart Samsung tv.Version: 3.4
✓ Barely worksI have never written a review for an app before. This app brings such irritation that I decided to write one. It will work sometimes. Majority of the time it just doesn’t. I paid for the premium version at one point but I still get constant ads any time I try to use a button. When I first open the app it looks like it’ll work fine, but as soon as you hit a button, you either get an ad or “no connection”. I have to keep reopening the app after about 5-6 button presses and it’s beyond annoying..Version: 3.3
✓ Help menuNon existent and a 100% failure..Version: 2.4
✓ StrugglingI’m struggling with a rating on this app because every app I’ve ever used can’t find my tv after a day or two of use. This one has lasted about a week and it does work! However, the ads... my god the ads. By far the most annoying ad disruptions of any app ever created. About every 6-10 clicks you get an ad pop up. Typing on a keyboard? Ad every 6-10 clicks. Searching through Netflix? Ad every 6-10 clicks. I’ve only had the app for a week and will not pay $5 for ad removal until I know this app works for at least a month..Version: 2.4
✓ Issue with connection and ads.For me whenever a button is pressed an advertisement will play for about 15 seconds, I think thats strange since this a remote control. Though the TV does have unremovable adds to begin with when trying to go to apps... Anyway on my Tv it will ask to give my phone permission, I click yes then it disappears. Then when I attempt to click a button on the remote an ad plays. Nothing changes for the TV and it becomes a loop. Im just annoyed how when the ad appears you cant use the remote for a couple seconds, it should be on some place maybe at the tops or sides of the screen? That would be more convenient..Version: 3.3
✓ Losing connection all the timeWon’t stay connected to my Samsung..Version: 3.4
✓ Crashed the moment I opened itThis crashed the moment I opened it. The second time I opened the all I was greeted with a full screen ad before the app had even loaded up. Once I tried to connect to my LG smart tv I kept getting a message that it wants to connect with my tv but just didn't work when I allowed it. It kept coming up with the same message. Rubbish!.Version: 3.3
✓ AdsAds pop up every 3 sec very dumb.Version: 3.3
✓ Ridiculous advertisingConstantly plays 30 second ads while you're trying to decide whether it's worth paying to remove the ads. Greedy developer who just doesn't care..Version: 1.1
✓ SirDoesn’t work.Version: 2.6
✓ Money hungryA subpar app from a money hungry company. I don’t mind a few ads on a free app. But to have an ad every single time you touch the screen is absolutely ridiculous. I was trying to type my Netflix password and it took me over 15 minutes! Literally every single time I pressed anything, an ad pops up. I deleted the app and went spend the $10 on an actual remote. Never again. Their goal is to annoy you with ads so much that you’ll buy premium or make the same amount of money (maybe more) off of you if you don’t get premium. Waste of time. I have better things to do than to spend over 15 minutes typing an email address..Version: 3.3
✓ VERYYYY DISSATISFIEDI paid for the full premium upgrade on my iphone for samsung Tv and cant do ANYTHING different to what the unpaid version offers. I cant use the trackpad. VERYY slow action response time. Cant move or scroll around screen. Can not access the favourites apps. I have requested a refund as I received none of the functions i was promised, I will update this review based on their response..Version: 3.3
✓ Reach to the coffee table and pick up the remote and save $10 instantly!Connecting couldn’t even be accomplished. Tv kept asking to pair yet the app just never did then I think I’m good to go and after hitting the volume button boom! Download the premium version for such luxuries. No. I can even try it to see if I would even find it useful I’m not paying anything especially something so sneaky about it. If you want to sell a $10 app fine, that’s honorable enough to create a app and except money no problems there but to have a free version that does absolutely nothing? You and every app like you is a drain on the entire system and for that reason alone I deleted it as fast as I downloaded it and I’ll find one alittle more honest. It’s 2020 people are tired of scams.Version: 3.3
✓ Could Be SweetBought the app for the watch integration and it 3% works. I give it 3% because I turn the volume down and then literally probably 45 seconds later the volume on my TV shoots down to zero. Same thing for play/pause. It’s like it occasionally works, but when it does it shows up to the party waaaay too late. Please fix this because I can see myself loving the app (like 5 stars loving the app) when my watch works..Version: 3.3
✓ Doesn’t work with watchI paid £5 so I can control My tv with my Apple Watch. Doesn’t work unless iPhone screen is on and the app is running on the iPhone at the same time.Version: 2.4
✓ The remote is badIt never works and it is delayed/takes an hour to load after I’ve turned off my phone.Version: 3.5.2
✓ Full of adsFull of ads So annoying.Version: 2.4
✓ Almost uselessAt first I thought this app was pretty slick. But then, after paying for the upgrade, all the shortcomings began showing. For starters the app won’t turn the tv on. You need to use your regular remote for that, which kind of defeats the purpose of paying for a remote. The watch app has no way of getting the tv to go to it’s home screen, moreover, pressing on any button other than the channel or volume results in the message that I upgrade to the premium version, which I’ve already done. And as far as “support” for this application... good luck. There is none. $5 bucks flushed down the toilet..Version: 2.4
✓ Too many adsToo many ads popping up when trying to use the remote!!.Version: 2.4
✓ Works well on the phone but have to pay£4.99 for it to work on the watch!Works well on the phone but have to pay£4.99 for it to work on the watch! Not good when it’s advertised as a watch app!.Version: 2.6
✓ GREAT CONNECTIONGreat connection and works very well. The reason I’ve given it 2 stars is because an ad pops up like every 5 times you click the button. It’s really frustrating and annoying 😡.Version: 2.6
✓ The free version is horrendousThis is the type of app that should just have an upfront cost. If it were £2.99 upfront I’d purchase it, but it’s free with overtly intrusive ads, it £5.99 just to have it function as it should do..Version: 3.2
✓ Unimpressed.When you pay $3500 for a tv and the coordinating sound bar, then have to pay for the app. Riiiiiiight..Version: 3.3
✓ Not working on apple watchPayed for the full pack just to use on my apple watch (series 6 - phone & watch ios updated) but not working on the watch. Would have not purchased if I knew in advance!!!.Version: 3.3
✓ Works as advertised, but ads are annoyingThe remote works really well, however the advertisements (which pop up often) always appear while I’m pressing buttons, so I often accidentally tap the ads when I don’t mean to. It would be a lot better if the ads were always on the screen as a banner or something, instead of popping up at the worst times..Version: 2.6
