### 4/5 — Bom no início duvidoso no final

*2026-07-09*

O aplicativo é ótimo, até você sentir segurança e pagar pra não ter mais anúncio, fica melhor ainda no início depois trava e fica instável

### 1/5 — Is this a scam?

*2026-06-13, version 18.2*

It looks like somebody used to scanner to create a picture of the remote for the app and none of the buttons responded

### 1/5 — Only works if TV is already on

*2026-06-09, version 18.2*

Works great for free if the tv is already on. However even if your connected and the tv shows up on the app it won’t turn your tv on so kinda pointless at that point.

### 1/5 — To many Ads

*2026-05-30, version 18.2*

Works great but the constant Ads make it impossible to do anything fast or to click more then once before you get another Ad

### 5/5 — eu recomendo

*2026-05-11*

tirando as propagandas é muito útil muito bom também funciona certinha, fácil de mexer

### 5/5 — Grateful

*2026-05-07, version 18.2*

Thank you guys for your invention. A.o.k

### 2/5 — Hi

*2026-04-18, version 18.2*

I could never connect the remote to any of my TVs and all the remotes look kinda weird. It should just have one big remote with one connection that would work on all TVs never seen any ads, though that is a plus.
