It never connects fast enough either. And why pay for it when the actual remote is the same cost? Makes no sense. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review!

Downloaded this app, and it works perfectly for my older smart tv. Saved the day. And now my 6 year old doesn’t have control over the tv when we’re busy around the house. **Developer response:** Thank you for your wonderful feedback.

I can’t find my Fire TV remote, so I just searched up remote and got the first app and that was this. but after 5 to 8 clicks on remote, you get a ad, which is annoying because you have to wait until you can continue doing what you were doing. And that’s like 30 seconds - 1 min. There is also the premium features one is being able to go directly to what streaming service you want to go to. but I would say it’s a trap because you have the remote so you could manually go to it but then you’ll can ad trying to get there or you just pay for premium, to make it easier and just press which streaming service you want. Without ad’s so they’re making some type of money either way. but I went back on the App Store. There’s a Fire TV app which is free and it has all the features even the premium ones on this one so just go to the Fire TV app and get everything on this one for free without ads. It still even has voice control like the physical remote **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. We will try our best to adjust our ads quantity and bring a better experience for you in the near future. You can remove Ads by in-app purchase.

I’m sure they’ll keep it I can’t imagine there’s many long term subscribers to make money off of. I say this to say this put ur money in ur pocket get in ur car drive to the store and purchase a remote. Nothing is that bad that you should purchase this literal waste of money. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. We are so sorry the app doesn't meet your requirements and the refunds are managed by the Apple Store. You can manage your refund via Apple iTunes. If you have any thoughts or questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at ios.feedback@boostvision.com.cn. ### 1/5 — No volume *2024-01-23* For $20 an option to adjust the volume should be available. After one or 2 miserable weeks with this awful phone remote I can say; unless you’re absolutely desperate.. WAIT! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO TO THE STORE.. I’d much rather have my money or a store bought remote wow what a nightmare; at times attempting to use this app remote I could just snap my phone in half. I will go buy a remote and since I wasted my money save this as a backup. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We are so sorry that the app doesn't meet your requirements. We will try to add the volume function to the app and improve its performance ASAP. If you have any thoughts, questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact us at ios.feedback@boostvision.com.cn. ### 1/5 — This app is crap. *2024-01-18* When I downloaded it it was so slow. I pressed to connect my tv but I just transferred me to another app which I had to pay then it transferred me ANOTHER APP, it made me pay for the app then it just wouldn’t work. It wanted all my photos but I declined then the apps just wouldn’t work unless I give them my location and photos then contacts. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review!

Always having to reconnect the remote and sometimes it “can’t find” my fire stick and I have to contact someone. I use the Roku remote app and it’s FREE for my Roku tv and it works better than this dumb subscription that I paid 30 bucks for. Do not recommend. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review!!

And can’t have a working remote… **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We are so sorry that the app doesn't meet your requirements.

There’s ads almost every 5 seconds and the up button on the remote doesn’t even work. This is also the latest version as of August 25, 2023, so I don’t know if this bug will be fixed! I also don’t know if it’s just a glitch on my end, so that makes it a bit more frustrating to use! This almost seems like a cash grab, since you basically need premium if you wanna watch a show or movie. It’s really annoying when I wanna pause anything! Might as well stick to your phone or other electronic device if you wanna watch something and your remote doesn’t work! Would not recommend! **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. We have a team to raise and need some revenue from the ads. We will try to adjust our ads quantity and bring a better experience for you in the near future. You can also remove Ads by in-app purchase. Any questions, please contact us at ios.feedback@boostvision.com.cn. ### 1/5 — Just be glad it’s free, it’s not worth the money. *2023-08-14* Not only do I have to have an ad every four clicks of a button on this app, but it also keeps telling me now that it is unable to connect because of a poor network connection every time I open it up! I am so glad I’m not paying for this. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We have a free version with limited features available.

The only reason I am using it is because my Firestick remote went out and I’m still waiting on the replacement. It also seems to drain your phone battery when the app’s open. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We have a free version with limited features available.

There is never any mention of what the cost might be for a subscription. Seems like a scam! **Developer response:** Hi, we are so sorry for the inconvenience brought to you. As you may see, we have a team to raise and we need some revenue from our apps. We will continuously improve our service in the near future.

Thanks again! ### 5/5 — THIS APP IS AWESOME *2024-02-23* Well I wanted to leave a review because i recently downloaded this app due to the baby losing my actual remote. Then I read the first review about leaving all stars because they’ll only use GOOD reviews. So hopefully mine will appear. This was a handy and great app concept, but unlike the Roku remote app every 2-3 clicks an ad will appear. Which is very tedious and frustrating. I guess this apps way of trying to get you to pay for a premium subscription. Please download at your own discretion. It’s not worth it. **Developer response:** Thanks for your excellent feedback! It really means a lot to us that you are enjoying our app as we are working very hard on it. We will try our best to develop the app to meet your requirements. If you have any thoughts, questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact us at ios.feedback@boostvision.com.cn. Thank you again! ### 5/5 — READ *2024-02-11* Okay the only reason why I gave it all stars is because clearly the people that run the stars section or whatever are gonna only use the good reviews. Anyways this app was amazing the first five seconds but then the ads came in and I thought oh it’ll be fine but then every time I clicked on a button an ad popped up and it’s just not a good app and you can’t really do anything and the premium would actually be the best but I’m not paying like what 7 dollars for a remote app! I just would not recommend this app. ANOTHER APP DOWN THE DRAIN!! **Developer response:** Thank you for your good feedback. Your encouragement is the greatest support and help for us.
