Does the basics well

I had no issues using this with a new LG TV. I was hoping it would allow for control of the on-screen pointer, or switching between TV apps (Netflix etc) so perhaps they could be feature requests. It won’t blow up your TV.

Hi, thank you very much for the positive review! Both of these are planned for a future release! :) and no it won’t blow up your TV!

😅

Application très utile mais il faudrait travailler sur une façon pour que je puisse démarrer la télévision avec car elle ne détecte plus télévision une fois celle-ci éteinte.

Hi, unfortunately TVs don’t support that functionality as they lose network connection when in standby. I’ll see if there is a workaround I can try :)

Doesn’t work with Sonos through HDMI-CEC and ARC

Because this works through wifi, it’s very fast as expected. Setup was easy. This app is not like some others which allow you to configure the UI/controls, but the defaults are very good.

On LG TVs, there is no magic remote like ability to move the cursor around through a touchpad, but the directional controls work through the TV and though the Apple TV, not as an Apple TV remote would(voice controls and such), but like the LG Magic Remote does with the directional controls.

Aside from the minor critiques above which have workarounds or are not deal breakers, my one real disappointment here is that I have a Sonos speaker system connected through HDMI-CEC and/or HDMI ARC and the volume controls in the remote software do not work as they do for the LG Magic Remote. I cannot raise or lower volume or mute the volume of the Sonos through the TV.

Works like a charm

Scanning local network was tad slow but it has found and added my TV without any problems. Buttons works, app is fast and TV is very responsive. I have no idea where bad reviews are coming from.

Does not work on my Samsung television

Possibly I need to be smarter but my IOS device and Samsung smart TV are connected to the same WiFi network but the app does not recognize the tv. I’ve tried multiple times and did a reboot. I contacted the developer at the provided email and got no response - I’ll admit my email wasn’t polite but i just noted I wanted my $4 back.

I love the idea so if this works, I’m open to the developer changing my mind. Otherwise I’m just waiting for the receipt so I can request a refund through Apple.

Hi, I should have responded to you by now. If not please send an email to info@adamfoot.dev and I’ll make sure I do!

Very handy little app!

Does what it says on the tin, full tv control with little to no input lag. Only downside is it doesn’t allow me to control the soundbar connected to my LG tv

Doesn’t find any TVs

I sent the support email but have had no reply. As it’s a paid up-front-app it simply has to work. I have a Samsung and 2 LGs all of which are recent, but it finds none of them, they are all smart and connected to the same Wi-Fi.

The positive reviews in the tech press show it does work for some people. The developer has to either up his support game (the info the button sent included zero diagnostic info, so how he can help is a mystery), or make it easier for people to troubleshoot for themselves inside the app.

Until then I’d change the price/model to allow a week of access or something as an app like this which has significant problems is going to amass 1 star reviews and refund requests as paying before trying is a 1 star experience.

Didn’t work for me

It didn’t find my LG Smart TV but it did find my Samsung soundbar, believing it to be a TV. Would have been better to have try-before-you-buy option, it would have saved me buying something that is no use to me.
