### 3/5 — Dysfonctionnement

*2026-08-25*

J’ai un abonnement annuel à plusieurs reprises j’essaye de diffuser ça ne passe pas. Un du ping pong un coup ça marche un coup ça marche pas.

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2026-08-19*

Cette application ne fonctionne pas et en plus elle n’est pas gratuite! INUTILE

### 1/5 — Opposite of intuitive

*2026-08-11*

Another app you have to pay for just so you can watch the ad free shows, I already paid not to have to watch ads on. Not intuitive at all. Better hope you aren’t at a hotel or for some reason don’t know exactly the device used nor have access to routers to restart. Paid the $6.99 totally worthless, I regret every penny.

### 4/5 — Son télé

*2026-08-10*

On ne peut pas mettre le son sur la télé gratuitement, il faut une baffe ou il faut payer. 
On ne peut pas non plus éteindre son téléphone pendant la projection:

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-08-09, version 2.3.12*

Paid 40 dollars to not even connect to my tv as a remote

### 1/5 — Be careful

*2026-08-08, version 2.3.12*

These guys just don’t leave you alone. 
Even after you have unsubscribed. 
Be careful unless you like receiving messages every other day. 
Like a virus that doesn’t go away.

### 1/5 — bought a subscription for the full remote and it didn’t change anything

*2026-08-08, version 2.3.12*

horrible

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-08-07, version 2.3.12*

Super easy to use, very well organized app, and Love all the features!

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2026-08-05*

Lost 169 rs

### 1/5 — Don’t sign up

*2026-08-04, version 2.3.12*

Very difficult to cancel
