Top ist das Layout der neuen Fernbedienung. ### 3/5 — Brauchbar *2026-01-13, version 3.5* Ich nutze die App vorwiegend für die Sortierung der eigenen Senderliste und für Texteingaben auf dem TV. Wenn man sich mit der App auskennt, funktioniert dies ganz gut. Es gibt eine ausführliche Bedienungsanleitung, die man gelesen haben sollte. Die Steuerung des TV damit funktioniert auch, allerdings ist die grafische Benutzeroberfläche grausam. Warum ist diese nicht wie der Handsender aufgebaut? Richtig ist, dass auch die Stabilität des Programms noch Luft nach oben hat. Insgesamt aber jedem zu empfehlen. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2025-10-28, version 3.4* Findet mein TV Gerät nicht ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht richtig *2025-04-02, version 3.2* Die App beendet sein immer wenn etwas angetippt wird, so nicht zu gebrauchen. ### 1/5 — Stabilität geht anders *2024-04-11, version 3.2* Bei Neustart der App ist alles gut. Nach kurzer Bedienungspause bleibt die App hängen oder hat den Kontakt zum TV-Gerät verloren. Dann hilft nur noch ein App-Neustart. Das geht schon seit über 3 Jahren so. ### 1/5 — Instabil *2023-12-04, version 3.0* Diese App läuft auf unseren IPads sehr instabil. Öffnet man die App und benutzt sie direkt kontinuierlich funktioniert sie. Will man die geöffnete App nach ein paar Minuten erneut nutzen funktioniert sie nicht mehr. Erst nachdem man sie geschlossen hat und dann neu geöffnet, funktioniert sie wieder. ### 1/5 — Schade 👎🏻👎🏻 *2023-05-07, version 2.8.1* Für einem Premium TV Hersteller ist diese App einfach nicht i.o. Viele Funktionen funktionieren nur „gelegentlich“ ### 1/5 — Fast sinnlose App *2023-04-17, version 2.8.1* Der Sinn der App erschließt sich mir nicht zumal die Bedienung kaum besser wie über die Fernbedienung ist. Klar sind Buchstaben und Texte besser einzugeben aber der Funktionsumfang kann die dürftigen Features des Fernsehers eben nicht erweitern. Ich hab die App direkt wieder gelöscht. Nutze den Fernseher fast ausschließlich an der Streaming Box als Display zur Anzeige der Inhalte via hdmi ### 2/5 — Ist ok *2022-11-13, version 2.8.1* Ist ok, kann aber moderne Bildformate (iPhone live Bilder) nicht abspielen. ### 1/5 — Schlecht *2022-07-01, version 2.8* Scheinbar möchte man den Service nicht verbessern . Dann lieber keine App als so eine schlechte ! Das ist sehr schade , wenn man den Preis eines Metz TV Akzeptiert und kauft . ## Frequently asked questions about MetzRemote ### What Metz TVs are compatible with MetzRemote?
