Did not work for me
I wanted an alternative to my tv remote so I downloaded. Upon set-up, I learned that both my phone and my tv had to be set up to the same network. That’s not a problem.
My tv was set-up with a writer connection and my phone was on the same internet connection. However, the tv could not be found. I then set-up the tv with a witless connection, but it could still not be found.
I don’t know if this is an isolated incident, but upon looking at previous reviews, it seems to work well with other users, hence it did not receive a 1 star. However, the ads do seem mildly annoying.Show lessnavarrosntg
Handy
This is a simple and handy app. To get the best experience I would pay the fee. It costs less than a physical remote and your phone most likely will not get lost compared to a TV remote. Best part is, if you lose your phone you can transfer everything over to a new device on iOS. So your remote virtually can never be lost. Works great with kids as well. No more worrying about them messing with the remote controls.Show lessDVuong16
Ruined By Ads
First off, this app works great as a substitute for my lost Samsung remote. Easy to setup without any issues. The biggest complaint is the amount of ads that pop up literally every 30 seconds-one minute. I’m no stranger to pop ups and I’m normally pretty patient. I understand if the app is free I’ll have to put up with them or pay for the ad-free version. However, it’s insane how many there are. I’ve never encountered a free app with as many pop ups. It’s especially annoying as I’m going through a series of button presses and all of a sudden an ad appears.
I’m ready to ditch this and purchase a universal remote or switch to a different app. Lessen the amount of ads and this app would be much more useable.Show lesstagia80
Fantastic!
My kids are always losing the remote so this is a lifesaver for us! Works great every time, with never an issue. Yes there are a lot of ads (one pops up about every 6 clicks), but the app only costs $6 - that’s less than half the price of a physical remote, so I think it’s worth it. People always want something for nothing, forgetting that labor costs money. So stop writing bad reviews because you’re too cheap to pay for something!Show lessshadeflower_mlh
There's a paid version
I previously gave this app 1 star because the ads were so annoying. After playing around with the app I found out that you can upgrade the app for a fee to remove the ads. I would of give it 5 stars but I decided to take away one star because the developer should make it simple to upgrade. I notice that many people leaving their review are complaining about the ads.Show lessDROCK161
Love This Amazing, Cool App
I reached out to the developer of this app because of an issue I had and he messaged me on the same day and we resolved my problem. This app is awesome and I no longer have a need for my clunky old remote... I just use my iPhone or my iPad, whichever is more convenient. This app is slick, I love it, and the developer is accessible and very responsive to any issues users have. Five stars from me! Thanks so much!Show lessCoolest App Ever!!! -David
Works with a lot of effort
Sure it pairs easily to the tv. Sure it works when it’s paired. After pushing 4-5 buttons in a row, and yes that includes hitting the volume button 4+ times or the channel button 4+ times then you get an ad. Sure the ad is only a few seconds long but for me, and I’m by no means technologically deficient, I have to pair the device again. It works but it’s annoying. Hey someone in another post said just pay the 6$ to get rid of the ads. JUST 6$!? Compared with other apps that is an astronomical price. There’s more options out there.

Ads Ads Ads!
I’ve used this app for a while and it’s always worked perfectly. My one reservation is that whenever I’d open the app, was idle for a while, or revisit the app from another app an advertisement would come up. It was understandable, it’s how they make money. But since the newest update there are now ads for every (about) 20 times you press a button on the remote! It is quite ridiculous if I’m trying to type something on my tv. Sometimes it may take 10 clicks to navigate to a single letter it gets ridiculous when 5+ ads come up when typing one title into the tv. Functionality definitely affected by the ads.Show lessmike01091997
Terrible Since New Update
This app used to be pretty handy; I lost my remote over a year ago and have been using this app for my Samsung Smart tv ever since. Just a week ago there was a new update that turned this app into complete trash - every few button presses you get an ad that pops up and takes over the whole screen. Unless you’re constantly looking down at the buttons you’re pressing, you’ll get an ad redirecting you to some random website from just trying to turn up your volume or change the channel. They also added ads to the “scan” feature, so you’ve got to wait on an ad before you can even connect to your TV to be bombarded by ads. 0/10 - these devs killed their app for ad revenueShow lessJoeyVW40
More ads than ever before
This app was okay up until recently...before it had a few pop up ads before using and sometimes it was hard to detect the tv which was fine as long as you scanned tvs...but now there are way way way too many ads and pop ups while using the remote...every 5 seconds a pop up ad would appear and it would take a long time before you could exit the ad and continue using the remote ! Ridiculous...i get how ads make money but seriously every 5 seconds ? It used to not be like this...also every time i use the remote i have to constantly scan to look for the tv every time i want to use it !Show lessiloveappleapple
