Who puts ads on a remote app? *2025-12-17, version 4.9* So i thought this was THE fire app by Amazon but i guess it’s a freemium knock-off. It’s very obnoxious to use because it rolls an ad every three clicks and it’s not even a well functioning remote. It wasn’t working for me and i could not figure out why because every few seconds, i had to sit through a new ad. Deleted so fast and got the correct app ### 1/5 — No Landscape Mode! *2025-10-23, version 4.8* I use this on my iPad to back up my failing remote. But I want to use it in landscape mode, sideways ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-10-22, version 4.8* Paid for a monthly subscription thinking it must work if I have to pay. No. It says I’m connected but nothing happens with the remote. ### 1/5 — . *2025-10-12, version 4.8* literally the worst app i ever downloaded in my life ### 1/5 — SCAM!!!! *2025-10-02, version 4.8* Immediately asks you to download another app and tells you that THIS app is out of date. ### 1/5 — Will not work without getting the premium *2025-09-20, version 4.8* Not good at all ### 1/5 — Limited access does not work. *2025-07-29, version 4.8* Limited access does not work because it keeps promoting me to sign up for a subscription without giving me the limited access. It’s terrible how everything is trying to push for subscriptions. In the App Store it says it’s free, well that’s a lie since the limited access does not allow me to use it. ### 2/5 — Can’t see subscription to cancel *2025-07-02, version 4.8* It says to check the app for pricing however whenever I go into manage my subscription, there is no pricing. It tells me I am on premium. When I click manage subscription, it takes me to manage the subscriptions in iTunes however, the app is not listed there. How do I make sure this does not renew? ### 1/5 — So many ads *2025-06-26, version 4.8* And add pops up every second so that you can’t even use the remote. Very irritating ### 1/5 — It said it was free but wasn’t. *2025-06-16, version 4.8* The pop up to pay for their app was constantly popping up each button i clicked ### 1/5 — Commercial pops make this unusable. *2025-06-05, version 4.8* Press a button, watch an ad. Takes over the screen. ### 1/5 — DO NOT GET APP *2025-06-03, version 4.8* EVERYTIME II TAP ON THE REMOTE II GET AN ADD EVERY SINGLE TIMEEEE. ### 1/5 — Junk *2025-03-28, version 4.6* Could have swore I cancelled the mandatory subscription the day I downloaded it. Apparently I didn’t. To make it better, I somehow got charged twice for one subscription and Apple won’t refund either charge. 🙄 Avoid. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fraud *2026-08-10* Big fraud ### 1/5 — Beyond worse *2026-05-30* Very bad worst experience with it atleast for 3 days or a week it should be for free without any subscription and too much of ads.👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 **Developer response:** Dear user, we're truly sorry to hear about your experience.

Also, in the settings on the app, it has an option to leave reviews, but you can’t click it as it doesn’t do anything but every other option on settings works 🤦‍♀️🤔 ### 1/5 — Damn… *2026-01-18, version 4.9* You definitely need more than a Firestick, will be asking for refund. ### 1/5 — Wrongfully debited amount *2026-01-07* I purchased the monthly subscription which mentioned a 3 day free trial pack. It needed an autopay setup so I did that but now I’ve cancelled my subscription within 45 mins because the app was not working on my TV and it was of no use but it has debited Rs 449 from my bank account. Ideally it should’ve debited only Rs 5 as autopay authorisation fees and credited it back to my bank account immediately. Please refund my money!!! **Developer response:** Dear User, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and the error in billing. Please reach out to us at support@tvcast.in with your transaction details, and we will assist you in processing your refund promptly.

Waste of space on phone ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2026-01-02, version 4.9* Doesn't work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mr *2026-07-26, version 5.1* Hey Hi ### 5/5 — Fire tv app *2026-02-11, version 4.9* Good thing ### 5/5 — Preston Thomas 11 *2026-02-09, version 4.9* Preston Thomas 11 ### 5/5 — Unicorn 12345(67) *2026-01-22, version 4.9* I love it so much.
