Got it working, but could use a setup guide
I didn’t realize my TV was no longer connected to WiFi, but that’s what was needed to get this working. Makes sense, but the app didn’t really have any setup instructions. Those would be a good idea for new users. At least link to a website with instructions. 3 stars for it working for now, but I’ll give it some time and update the review accordingly. Nifty idea either way!

Thank you! I'll take that suggestion on board. If you have any more, please email them to info@adamfoot.dev
Power button function doesn’t work.
Power button didn’t even work for LG TV. can’t build extensive shortcuts as it can only do basic inputs and watch is not customizable other than use of Siri Shortcuts. Needs more work to be reconsidered will be requesting reimbursement since the app did not function as expected.
Developer isn’t being honest or is not documenting its functionality more throughly. His website is nothing more than a resume. I’d pass unless you like getting your remote to turn on your tv in the first place which this app claims should help you avoid.

Hi, LG TVs do not support turning on via an API. I'll investigate if there is a workaround I can use but that is LG's responsibility. Please send me any Siri Shortcuts suggestions you have: info@adamfoot.dev. I plan to add more anyway in a future update! UPDATE: Please update to version 1.6 as the power functionality is now working properly!
Great upgrade
So much more satisfying and responsive... and comprehensive than Samsung’s remote app.
It really works!
Saw this app mentioned by 9to5 Mac and it works well! We have a newer Samsung TV. Relays to the tv as fast as a normal remote or the Apple TV remote app. Thanks!
The app does not do anything. refund demanded
The app freezes when searching for my LG GX TV on my network. The app just does not provide any feedback whatsoever. After the search button is clicked, no idea if it actually does anything. No visual indicator then I cannot click on anything else on the app.
Tried it on 2 iPhones Pro Max and an iPad Pro with same frozen app.
What kind of developer is this? And he charges $3.99 for this paper weight of the app too.
I contacted the developer but have not heard back yet.
I will keep writing bad reviews, trashing your app until I get a refund from you.

Brilliant App, Very Response!
Downloaded this today and set it up with my Samsung TV first time without issues. The connection using the app is actually faster than using the Samsung remote over the Internet! Allows me to do everything from turn TV on and off change channel and change input! Going to get it set up now using Siri so my TV is now voice activated with Siri! Brilliant work

Thank you, I appreciate it! I'm planning to add new Siri Shortcuts soon, so keep an eye out! :)
App will not recognize my SHARP or Samsung TV’s
Wanted to get an alternative to my Apple TV remote. Both TV’s are managed through my Apple TV devices. Tried several times on both sets. I hope to hear back from the developer about this. Will upgrade my review if I get a response.
Works just fine
I don’t know what to say. It took a little longer than expected to find the tv, but once found, adding was quick and it works just fine.
If you have a tv/remote set up that bothers your more than being absent $4 then I’d recommend it.

Hi, thank you very much! Those issues should be fixed within the next 24-48 hours :)
Great App
I have a pretty cheap Samsung TV I think from Costco it’s a few years old.. this works amazing, every button works. I hope one day we can do quick actions like open apps like YoutubeTV with one button.. (it’s in the Samsung api) so I think it could be added.
It works when connected over the local WiFi, which is the magic of the remote, no IR blaster needed.

Not Very Useful for Samsung TVs
After setting up the application for both my Samsung QLED TVs, I need to “authorize” the remote every time and the only way to do that is with the regular TV remote. This defeats the purpose of the app if I can’t just use it from my phone w/o needing the TV remote.
Don’t waste your money on this one...
