### 1/5 — Ужас

*2026-08-12, version 4.5.6*

Самая бесполезная покупка!

### 2/5 — Stopped working after 6 months

*2026-08-06, version 4.5.6*

Cannot reconnect. I paid lifetime premium.  Was working but now stopped.  Won’t connect auto or Manual. Don’t know what to do with this.

### 5/5 — A Perfect pairing with My Bravia TV

*2026-07-24, version 4.5.6*

The layout of this remote looks and feels similar to my actual tv remote. It easily paired and has never given me any issues.

### 1/5 — Yeah, no.

*2026-07-06, version 4.5.6*

Just buy a remote. You’re not going to want to deal with this app.

### 3/5 — Issues finding the tv. Connection issues.

*2026-07-02, version 4.5.6*

I really like the remote when it works. We have both T-Mobile internet and STARLINK and for some reason it’s not finding the tv. Does this all the time. I even paid for the app. Wish there was tech support.

### 1/5 — You get what you pay for and I didn’t pay anything for this lol

*2026-06-30, version 4.5.6*

Actively tries to trick you into clicking adds. Yeah it’s free, but my god it’s frustrating having to wait for adds or jump out of the app over and over just to adjust volume.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-06-27, version 4.5.5*

Grateful

### 3/5 — Too many ad.

*2026-06-23, version 4.5.5*

You can’t avoid ，even though.especially when you’re right searching for some program.and then suddenly advertisements in！

### 2/5 — have the latest app update all of a sudden this week app not connecting to TV

*2026-06-18, version 4.5.5*

says the request timed out. I’ve got to Sony TV from 2021.

### 1/5 — Crazy Developer

*2026-06-17, version 4.5.5*

I don’t have any problem paying for an app, but I want to see & try what I’m buying before I do.  This developer considers the navigation buttons a premium feature.  They should at least enable everything for a trial period.
