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. ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2026-02-08* Ótimo **Developer response:** Muito obrigado! ### 2/5 — A tecla sources não funciona *2026-02-05* Fica desconectando o tempo inteiro. A tecla mais importante pra mim, que é a sources, não funciona. A ideia é boa, porém não funciona bem. ### 5/5 — Best TV app *2026-01-01, version 18.2* This is the best TV app I ever tried the only one that works Some of them just show payment request to use the tv but this one no ### 5/5 — The king *2025-12-07, version 18.2* It fix my remote ### 5/5 — It’s good *2025-11-23, version 18.2* Meow ### 3/5 — Doesn’t íwork no n atm *2025-11-21, version 18.2* Stopped work. ### 5/5 — Great *2025-11-17, version 18.2* Works great ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nul *2026-07-10* Ne fonctionne pas **Developer response:** Bonjour, Nous sommes désolés d'apprendre que vous avez eu cette expérience. 😞 Nous apprécierions que vous puissiez partager plus de détails sur ce qui s'est passé afin que nous puissions l'examiner.

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 ### 1/5 — C’est de la grosse arnaque *2026-03-04* Marche pas **Developer response:** Bonjour Lulumoinneau01, Nous sommes désolés d'apprendre que vous vous sentez ainsi.
