### 5/5 — So Dependable

*2026-08-22, version 1.3.7*

Easy

### 1/5 — Adverts while trying to use

*2026-08-08, version 1.3.7*

I used to love Fochro. However now I’d rather buy a new Chromecast with a remote than continue using this with advert after advert while I’m just trying to change channel or press play / pause. Have to watch an advert to continue watching a show after it’s been on pause. Highly annoying

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-14, version 1.3.7*

This app is so bad I got the purchase and it won’t even connect to my tv would not recommend terrible

### 1/5 — £12 a month subscription

*2026-06-01, version 1.3.6*

For a tv remote lol

### 1/5 — Because no ceybourd

*2026-05-20, version 1.3.6*

Nothing I can do

### 1/5 — No good

*2026-05-18, version 1.3.6*

Takes money out straight away even though it says 3 day free trial. Then doesn’t even work, doesn’t connect to any tvs. Waste of time & money

### 3/5 — Idk

*2026-05-06, version 1.3.6*

It sometimes work sometimes don’t

### 2/5 — Так себе

*2026-04-19*

Пастаяна неработант

### 1/5 — Жесть одним словом

*2026-04-12*

Теперь, чтобы подключиться необходимо оплатить. Вот это вы круто придумали, так держать!
