### 5/5 — Works great.

*2026-08-13*

I don’t pay for the subscription, and I was manage to connect this seamlessly to my Roku Streaming Stick and Samsung TV. 📺 The back and Home Button doesn’t always work, but I’m sure that will be improved on. Ads can be a bit annoying sometimes but you watch an Ad (3) every 15 minutes. Overall solid.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-08-04*

Paying a subscription for this is silly; especially considering it doesn’t even work. Just keeps prompting on the tv to continue hit yes and nothing happens. Developer was also offering one year no ads offer for anyone that left a 5 star review on Reddit, but I can’t in good conscience promote something that doesn’t even do what it says it will. Also stingy about wanting to offer up the free one year, so whatever.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the honest feedback, and we’re sorry the connection process didn’t work as expected.

We’ve been working extensively on app stability, TV discovery, and connection reliability. Our upcoming update includes several fixes for repeated confirmation prompts, devices not being discovered correctly, and connections failing to complete.

The promotional offer was intended as a thank-you to early supporters, not as a requirement for leaving a positive review. We understand your frustration and appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention.

Please try the new version once it becomes available. We hope the improvements will provide the experience you originally expected.
