Do not pay to install this software

$3.99 charged software is not working. Response time is so slow and software is not created and tested well. Quality of software need to be improve a lot.
Do not buy and install this app.
I have Samsung and LG OLED TVS. If the software is responsive volume and on and off switch is the one that I can only operate. Changing channels and menu control is not working at all.

What a Waste!

randywachs • a few seconds ago
I thought I was too old and experienced to fall for an article like this! I was lulled into complacency because this was posted under the 9 to 5 Mac banner. (Which is no longer a trusted or valued source.) I downloaded the app. It doesn’t work on any of our less than two year old Samsung sets or a Toshiba. The $4 loss to start my day isn’t a really big deal. The concern over loss of network integrity is a very big deal and ruins my day! I expected more from 9 to 5 and got much, much, less. How about 0 Stars?

Works great

Cool app to have when I can’t find the remote or want to just change the tv to what I want to watch...

Absolute scam

Downloaded this app thinking that it would work with my Samsung tv’s, but after finding that nothing happens when trying to use functions, I’ve discovered that I’ve wasted $5.99! Don’t waste your money!

Not as advertised

Bought this based on the assertion that it worked with Samsung TVs. Dev should list actual models because although I have a smart internet connected Samsung the app can’t connect to it. Don’t waste your money like I did on a gamble that this app will might actually be able to connect with the brands it promises to.

Works great!

The app took a couple of tries to find my tv, and I had to figure out which IP address was my tv, but after setting it up it works flawlessly with my LG CX OLED.

MUCH better than having to hunt down the remote.

Works better than factory app for LG TV

My flatscreen LG TV is a few years old & this app works better than the factory app from LG for ThinQ. Very happy for the upgrade. Thank you!

Doesn’t work on LG

Doesn’t work on my LG bought last year! Pity.

Excellent App!!!

Every feature on this remote works on my Samsung. Intuitive! Got that smart-home feel!

Cannot power on a tv on

The app works fine once you power the TV on with the physical remote. If you power off the TV with the app, it cannot power it back on. Even with the TV set in the standby quick start mode it will not start. The TV also disappears from the app once powered off. After the TV is powered back on using the physical remote, the app will sometimes find the TV within a few seconds and display the remote again. Other times you are forced to completely close the app and after restart it may find the TV.
Tested the app on my iPhone 12 Pro and iPad Pro. TV is 2018 LG OLED. Will request refund from Apple.

Response from developer

Hi, unfortunately TVs aren't able to be turned on like that as they lose their network connection - I'll look for a workaround though. There will be an update released in the next 24-48 hours that fixes this issue. Please consider updating your review when available :) UPDATE: The power functionality is now available in version 1.6! Please consider updating your review.
