Awful app

The worst!

0 stars

Worse app I’ve ever used!

Clunky

The first 2 remotes didn’t work. Third one is on order. I can’t sign on when my wife has the app open. Crazy they have haven’t invested in a better app experience. Get with it!

No login

Poor

Junk!

The only thing that turns on with the app is the back lights and they are very dim. Don’t bother to download this app.
