Such a garbage app

I paid money but now the app is asking to download another app to use the same function I already paid for! But as it’s going to be a new app, I’ll have to pay again!

Waste of time

Download App, connect with my Philips Smat Tv, which then prompts you to a message to download the App and you it won’t open, how stupid!
