### 2/5 — Malheureusement pas de MAJ

*2026-07-14*

L’application d’origine était superbe mais malheureusement cette dernière est abandonné bourré de bug…. Impossible de contrôler le volume par exemple. Vraiment dommage

### 4/5 — GeForce NOW

*2026-06-24, version 2.1.3*

Hello Nvidia, you know Free Membership I don’t like the Time Limit every time you play a game, on Xbox Cloud there’s no time limit, but I wish there’s no time limit on GeForce NOW

### 3/5 — Its ok

*2026-06-10, version 2.1.3*

It’s an ok app. Nothing special

### 2/5 — App crashes on paste

*2026-01-16, version 2.1.3*

The app crashes every time I try to paste text (e.g., passwords, URLs, or IP addresses) into a text field using long-press → “Paste”.
Error: NoSuchMethodError: The getter ‘pasteButtonLabel’ was called on null.
Receiver: null
Tried calling: pasteButtonLabel
This happens on German iOS (probably all non-English languages), because the Flutter localization for the paste button label is missing/broken. It’s a known Flutter issue for years, but NVIDIA never fixed it in the SHIELD TV app

### 1/5 — War mal gut jetzt nur noch

*2025-12-26, version 2.1.3*

Müll - Zeit abgelaufen wie auch die Zeit der SHIELD

### 4/5 — Keyboard doesn’t work

*2025-12-24, version 2.1.3*

From the looks of it, it seems this app has been abandoned quite a while ago so I’m not surprised the Keyboard doesn’t connect when trying to type something. Nvidia too busy with their Graphics/AI ventures to care.

Edit: After fiddling about and updating firmware I finally got it working.

### 2/5 — Limité

*2025-12-14, version 2.1.3*

Pourrait etre utile avec des widget, shortcuts et une compatibilité siri. En l état ce n est qu une télécommande de substitution si besoin… dommage

### 2/5 — Use it to find your remote.

*2025-11-26, version 2.1.3*

This app is hot garbage. It does, however, have a finder function. That’s pretty much all it’s good for.

### 1/5 — Way too glitchy with movements getting stuck

*2025-11-25, version 2.1.3*

The app was working fine for a while until suddenly it would get stuck on the right swipe and wouldn’t be able to stop it until I exit the app. This happened almost everytime I use the app

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-11-17, version 2.1.3*

Opens/closes apps but tracking/scrolling doesn’t work. Seems pointless.

### 1/5 — Used to work

*2025-10-29, version 2.1.3*

App used to work, it always pairs for me but the pad just randomly stops and if I restart my entire shield 2-3 times it will work again. So sad, that it’s now super unreliable

### 1/5 — Berbat

*2025-10-26, version 2.1.3*

GeForce now neden kafayı yiyip iOS da yok

### 2/5 — Doesn’t connect

*2025-10-25, version 2.1.3*

It would not pair with the tv shield no matter what I tried.

### 1/5 — Glitches Out with Random Movements

*2025-10-25*

I have to restart the app all the time. When I’m using it… it’ll randomly go up, down, left or right. This especially happens regularly in swipe mode with is the one I happen to use the most. 
You would think an app coming from one of the most valuable stocks booming from AI. They would have plenty of resources to fix this junk. If it was open source I would just open an issue and it’d be fixed in days. Unfortunately this is not open source and we have to wait for the company to fix this junk app they clearly don’t care about. Just open source it, make a GitHub repo and we’ll fix the god dayum thing ourselves.

### 1/5 — Bu neee!

*2025-10-19, version 2.1.3*

Ben bunda beamng drive için yükledim la yalan bu

### 1/5 — Nvidia Shield Tv Remote Review

*2025-10-04, version 2.1.3*

If i could have given 0 stars i would have. This remote is genuinely the worst remote i have ever used. It rarely connects to the tv which is on and working and when it does it often disconnects quickly. IF i’m actually able to use it at all the app will click random buttons i’m not pressing and make selecting anything on the TV nearly impossible. Whoever designed this is an idiot, it is terrible and i recommend you never EVER, EVER, EVER use this.

### 1/5 — Update?

*2025-09-08, version 2.1.3*

Would love an update to fix timeout and crashes

### 3/5 — Convenient but constantly disconnects from the device

*2025-08-30, version 2.1.3*

It’s decent but it will constantly disconnect from my Nvidia, so it makes it annoying

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE GAME

*2026-07-17, version 2.1.3*

I hate this bs

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work anymore

*2026-05-06, version 2.1.3*

App doesn’t work, will not connect to shield despite entering IP address. 

Needs to be fixed by developers.

### 1/5 — Basically useless

*2026-04-02, version 2.1.3*

As a remote control, the lack of any tactile buttons makes this app painful to use, but the fact that it disconnects every minute or 2 is what really makes this infuriating to use. It used to include a handy “find my remote” feature that was great if you lost the remote control, but the devs brilliantly decided to remove that one thing that this app WAS good for. Now it’s just more useless junk on your phone stealing your data. Avoid this at all costs.

### 1/5 — Faulty app or update

*2026-03-12, version 2.1.3*

App works 40% of the time, the rest it will go back to the shields Home Screen after pressing the the screen on my phone and I have to then reset the shield by unplugging it for 10 seconds and plugging it back in! Rather annoying due to the shield being in a media cupboard that’s not easily accessible

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-02-18, version 2.1.3*

I literally have to refresh the app every 30 seconds for it to not glitch out.

### 1/5 — 5 Ear

*2026-02-06, version 2.1.3*

5 years and no update no wonder it not working properly, connects, opens apps and that’s it . Won’t move out on screen or do out on keyboard. 
Not much cop if I can’t control out after an app opened .

### 1/5 — Volume control not working

*2026-01-22, version 2.1.3*

It can mute but we cannot change the volume or unmute

### 1/5 — Copy paste geht nicht

*2026-01-16, version 2.1.3*

Man kann einfach keine sachen einfügen in der Tastatur

### 1/5 — Inutilisable

*2026-01-08, version 2.1.3*

Zéro pointé

### 1/5 — Glitches Out with Random Movements

*2025-12-26, version 2.1.3*

I have to restart the app all the time. When I’m using it… it’ll randomly go up, down, left or right. This especially happens regularly in swipe mode; the one I use most often.

### 5/5 — Top marks (needed app)

*2026-08-10, version 2.1.3*

I am giving this app top marks as this was really, a needed app.   I don’t use my controller much as I am not much into gaming. So this is handy as I don’t need to purchase a (almost impossible to find) compatible universal remote again.

### 5/5 — Works great in 2026 after all the updates.

*2026-01-17, version 2.1.3*

This has worked well with no issues. Sees all 3 devices and controls them with ease. After the latest updates to the shield itself and newer phone devices. This works perfect.

### 5/5 — .

*2025-08-25, version 2.1.3*

موقع سهل وسريع الاستفاده و مفيد جدا

### 5/5 — Beautiful Tv

*2025-08-10, version 2.1.3*

Great job

### 5/5 — 金玉其外 敗絮其中

*2025-06-13, version 2.1.3*

電視盒隨機附的金頂鹼性電池，才使用一個月就讓遙控器報廢了，真是xxx 讚讚讚！

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-03-31, version 2.1.3*

Works great better than the original remotes which are both inoperative

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2024-09-14, version 2.1.3*

A bit problematic if it can’t find the Shield device. Needed to reset my network connections on my iPhone after rebooting my router, the Shield, and my iPhone didn’t work.

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2024-06-17, version 2.1.3*

I lost my original remote. So this app was a real game changer and has been working great!!! 

However, today it’s bugging for the first time in my experience. The remote is just outright non responsive right now. Not sure what the problem is.

Ive tried rebooting, unplugging, restarting my internet… 

Please send help!!! 🆘🆘🆘

### 5/5 — 블루투스 연결이 계속 해지가된다.

*2024-06-10*

웡 이거는 고칠생각이 없는거냐!? 제발 기능 추가는 없어도 오류는 수정해죠

### 5/5 — Works great

*2024-03-25, version 2.1.3*

It was easy to pair and it shows all my installed apps. The remote function works very well.
