Can you add a point(.) to the numbers section, please? For example, here channel 4 is 4.1 not just 4 ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Ads ads ads *2026-05-21, version 4.5.4* Its alright but why is there an ad EVERYTIME i press a button ### 3/5 — Ok until last update *2026-04-21, version 4.5.3* Since the new update all it does now is tell me my TV Ip has changed and wants to connect to my Philips Hue Hub instead. ### 3/5 — So good it’s bad *2026-04-13, version 4.5.3* Main frustrating bit is that it never stays connected, always saying connecting then it drops until it connects and then it works fine until I leave the house and come back and it starts over again. The other features are pretty neat like the shortcuts. Please make it have a way for it to not need to be reconnected so much! ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-04-11, version 4.5.3* Already paid to remove ads. Ads appearing again and it doesn’t restore… ### 1/5 — To many ads *2026-03-30, version 4.5.2* How do you have ads on a remote app and ask for a monthly fee. ### 1/5 — TERIBLE SCAM *2026-03-22, version 4.5.2* Why did I try this app anyway? Literally works for one week then CANT CONNECT TO SERVER. I honestly hate this app. If u want good advice DONT USE THIS APP😔🥀💔 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ужас *2026-08-12, version 4.5.6* Самая бесполезная покупка! ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Not Free *2026-06-15, version 4.5.5* When you pay as much as what the TV’s cost. The associated app should be free. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-06-12, version 4.5.5* Takes ages to connect. Constantly bombarded with ads. Pay £5.99 to remove them? May as well buy a new remote. Utter garbage. ### 1/5 — The worst *2026-05-25, version 4.5.4* Can’t connect to 2025 Bravia ### 1/5 — Money hungry *2026-05-02, version 4.5.4* Poor app unless you. rather replace the remote. ### 1/5 — Too many adds and disconnects frequently *2026-04-29* Worst app than a third party app. Too many adds and disconnects frequently. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-04-12* Paid for the full app and does not even connect to my Bravia. Waste of money and fraud **Developer response:** We are sincerely sorry for the connection issue. This is not a fraud. We want to help you fix this immediately.

It easily paired and has never given me any issues. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-27, version 4.5.5* Grateful ### 5/5 — Took a minute but it works great. *2026-06-10, version 4.5.5* I had a hard time trying figure out how to connect to my new Sony tv when I was connected to my dads. Took me a second but the 55 and 65 should’ve looked at. User error but it works amazing I even got the lifetime pass and works beautifully. Well worth it! ### 5/5 — Easy *2026-06-02, version 4.5.4* Super easy to install buying add free version is tricky ### 5/5 — Terrible App *2026-05-01, version 4.5.4* Terrible App. No way to control the audio input. Unable to watch a PBS channel that worked seamlessly before. ### 5/5 — Game changer *2026-04-29, version 4.5.4* Many times I don’t know where the tv remote is or I would rather not get up but always have my phone on me. This was a game changer. Works like a charm from just turning on and off the tv to changing sources, going through the different apps. Being able to play and pause my shows. It does it all. ### 5/5 — Ads removed *2026-04-26, version 4.5.3* Developer resolved issue with purchase restore ### 5/5 — This app shows Innapropriate Ads to Children *2026-04-25, version 4.5.3* This app is a remote, meaning any age can view it! They are targeting me with highly inappropriate ads that have been seen my children ### 5/5 — Good support *2026-04-23, version 4.5.3* Had a small problem which was resolved by the developer. ### 5/5 — Bad man style *2026-02-07, version 4.5.2* Bad man style --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
