Best Remote App Ever!

I got this app just in case I ever lose my tv remote and it works great. I love how there is a virtual remote and the touchpad is remarkable. I highly recommend this app. Install this and you will not be disappointed. There are no issues, bugs, or anything bad about this app. Please install and you will not regret it.

It has to reconnect a lot

This 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.

Desperately needed fix

My 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

Doesn’t work

Won’t connect to my tv. Says it’s failed despite my tv being on the same WiFi network. Don’t waste your time downloading

Abs

It works ok but could be better. The forward button is no working when you are watching bbciplayer. Apart from that is fine

Practical but glitchy

The idea of a remote for my tv on my phone is a good idea. Not gonna lie, it’s perfect for me when I lose the remote. But there is still issues. After using for a few minutes, around 10 of them, the app says I need to reconnect WiFi even though it is connected. When I disconnect and reconnect again, it doesn’t work . When I retry a couple times again, it finally works. Not saying it’s bad, but please fix this bug!

You have to have a remote to use the app.

We got this remote app because we lost our remote. The tv had to get an ok to use the phone which I needed the remote to ok. The remote on your phone will not work unless the tv is already on. Also make sure you are logged into the same WiFi, or it won’t work. So unless you are just trying to change the channel and someone else has the remote good luck.

Funny

While my mom was watching tv I download this app and I controlled my tv and my mom was shocked

Annoying

The app constantly keeps disconnecting from the TV on a regular basis, I use a similar app for my Onkyo HIFI system that never disconnects therefore ruling out that the cause is my WIFI or IPad.
Having contacted the app suppliers from who I made the purchase as of today I have received no response.

Intuitive yet could use some improvements

Very simple to use and is intuitive. I especially like the touch pad. However, I’d like to see some updates/ more bug fixes. One issue I experienced is that once the TV is off for a few seconds, I can use the phone to turn it on. But a few seconds longer and I can no longer turn it back on with the phone. The app loses connection with the wifi and TV and I have to use my original TV remote to turn the TV on then reconnect. I would really like to replace the remote and only have to use my phone. I hope this can be fixed. Also, when using the search bar on the TV why not have a keyboard pop up on my phone to type and search with much more efficiently rather than having to swipe around one letter at a time??
