### 3/5 — Kötü

*2026-01-24, version 2.0.14*

İşe yaramıyor boşuna indirmeyin

### 1/5 — Junk!

*2025-08-09*

It won’t even connect to my LG blu-ray player!

### 1/5 — Stopped working.

*2025-06-14*

Used to be handy for volume and source control but has recently just stopped working completely. Shame as no others seem to work with my Blu-Ray player.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-06-06, version 2.0.14*

I was able to use it once. Now it won’t connect to the dvd player. All connections are fine. I was hoping to use this as backup because the remote control is a piece of garbage as well.

### 1/5 — Horrível

*2024-04-11*

Não funciona e não reconhece nenhuma TV

### 1/5 — App ridículo

*2024-02-06*

Parece app feito por amador.

### 1/5 — No detecta las TVs ni la red wifi

*2024-01-27, version 2.0.14*

No detecta la red wifi de 5GHz

### 1/5 — Beyond terrible

*2023-04-18*

This is beyond terrible. Won’t find LG “smart” DVD. Won’t load IPlayer. DVD is also the worst. Wish I had paid more and got the Sony player and didn’t have the LG DVD, and TV and would not have to “use” this app.

### 1/5 — Áudio atrasado

*2023-02-02*

O áudio sai atrasado de acordo com a imagem na Tv

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2023-01-11*

Удалите из магазина приложение, телевизор не видит
