Inconsistent

You never know when the remote will not connect to tv

Does not work

The remote feature like never works it won't let me navigate my tv it is driving me crazy so upset please fix this bug.

Crashes was too much

This app crashed more than it works. My Google home remote stopped working so it thought this was a better option. Absolutely not.

No remote

Why take away the remote

Missing Cursor Support

Connected to my TCL Google TV easily, but the app is very limited. It only works as a basic D-pad remote and doesn’t support moving the on-screen cursor or blue pointer that’s required on some apps and pop-ups. That makes it impossible to interact with certain screens. If you have a Google TV that uses a cursor, this app may not be enough. Disappointing.

Horrible

Terrible. Always times out and won’t let me reconnect to the TV.

Remote removal

This app has become useless after removing the option to use remote control options and keyboard input.

Very Bad

I only got this app because they removed the add to watchlist button from Google Search. Very annoying. New shows are slow to appear, and the search is terrible. When it knows what I’m typing, it offers to search for “movies like x” instead of letting me go to the movie I’m looking for

fix ur app

fix ur remote stuff cause its not even allowing me to use the remote on my phone and when it actually pops up it just disappears and im jus not allowed to use my remote on here

Very slow

My google tv device almost always never shows up, so I’m just sitting on my couch waiting for nothing.

Google tv remote

I only use this app for a remote for my google tv. Works well but there is a constant bug. When I leave the app it seems to think the swipe to home means a movement on the remote. Which makes the remote go to the left corner every time either causing media controls to pop up or the media I’ve been playing to restart. Not aggravating just annoying. Otherwise the remote works well.

WHERE IS THE VIRTUAL REMOTE GONE??

Google TV what’s the point of this app without a remote ?

Works sometimes

This app is the only remote i have for my tv and it works, just not all the time. My bf and i both have the app and when it’s not working for one of us typically it works for the other. Unfortunately for me he’s at work and my app isn’t working, so i don’t get to watch tv until he gets home. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING.

Remote issue.

I use this app because I lost my tv remote. Google tv on a Phillips. When using the app, the remote icon only shows up half the time. I have to open and close the app many times to get the remote icon to show up. It’s so frustrating. Please fix! It’s driving me crazy!

Remote no longer showing

It was great… until it wasn’t. Now that the only useful feature on this app no longer works, there’s no point in using it.

Can’t download videos for offline use

I get this notification every time I try to download a tv show episode or a movie, “The operation couldn’t be completed. (CoreMediaErrorDomain error -16840 - HTTP 401: Unauthorized)”. I have closed and reopened the app, deleted and redownloaded, and re-logged in to the service. I own all of these episodes and movies, why can’t I download them! Please fix this issue.

Don’t use YouTube

This is app is a 1000% better than YouTube for watching purchased Google content. It is a shame that the dedicated TV version of this app was discontinued and we were forced to use YouTube. My purchased tv series and movies frequently disappear from the YouTube movie and TV listing on most YouTube apps but this iOS app is always stable. Thank you the continued support.
