### 5/5 — Worked for me

*2026-04-10, version 1.1.11*

I saw a couple of reviews recently of how it wasn’t working well for people, but I’ve had no issues using it both with my Android TV and my parents Roku tv (who lost their remote so this was a god send).

### 1/5 — Scammed

*2026-02-26, version 1.1.04*

I order and tried to use this app on my TV. I could not get it to work properly and cancelled it after the free trial era. 
I find out they have continued to charge my credit card $10.69 for the last 14 weeks for a total of $149.66. 
I could buy a tv for that price! 
Apple should pull this app from their App Store. It’s a scam!

### 1/5 — Artificial stupidity

*2026-02-25*

I was seduced by the rating. This is a Poorly Conceived App.

I’d hoped for multiple layouts.
- believing AI will deliver a quality user interface is Dangerously Naive.
- believing AI knows better what I want than I do is stupid.
- believing developers know better what I want than I do is arrogant.

I hate the bright red selection star. I really hate the click when I press a button.

There should be a prominent APPS button. The fixed buttons are too restrictive.
 I’m controlling a smart tv, and I don’t want to hunt for the DirecTV app, which is my primary source: broadcast channels plus streaming channels such as ESPN(s), MS-NOW, and others. I also have Apple TV, which is where Formula 1 races will be shown.

I want my money back.

**Developer response:** Dear
The new UI will be released soon in 2.0

### 5/5 — This is the bet TV app

*2026-02-21*

I got my tv working again because of this app. It has the best remote, and they help you more than google its self.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your testing and feedback, Glad to hear it works.

### 1/5 — Liarssss

*2026-02-20, version 1.1.02*

Dowsnt work without WIFI MISLEADING AF

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2026-01-29*

Does it’s job superbly. Syncs like a breeze to my TCL TV. I really enjoy it’s voice command feature.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your testing and feedback, Glad to hear it works.

### 1/5 — Not working for Toshiba

*2026-01-17, version 1.0.97*

And already made the payment..

### 1/5 — Review

*2026-01-17, version 1.0.97*

Doesn’t work with Bluetooth.

### 1/5 — Wtf

*2026-01-12, version 1.0.96*

You literally said no WiFi needed then entering the app you say WiFi needed make it make sense

### 1/5 — Do not download this app and do not give them your money.

*2026-01-10*

Downloaded this app to try and work my Vizio TV remote it never once actually worked. When I canceled they continued to charge my card  $10 every week. Do not use this app. I’m out $100 and never actually got anything from them.

**Developer response:** Dear
Feel free to cancel in App Store -> Subscription management. And as the testing result, the app can work with Vizio TV. We can share a lifetime redeem code to you once you contact with me.
