### 1/5 — READ BEFORE INSTALLING

*2024-04-24*

I needed a remote to control my television, and this app wanted me to already have to remote to access the settings to get started. I took someone else’s advice and downloaded the fire tv app. It’s free and it works with my Insignia TV.

### 3/5 — Remote

*2024-04-22*

I don’t like how the app has to reconnect every single time you want to use the remote.

### 2/5 — Must be better options

*2024-04-02*

Basic navigation works, but the only thing I wanted was volume control, and that doesn’t.

### 5/5 — Super Convenient.

*2024-03-28*

I’m enjoying my TV while I unpack and try to find the actual remote. This one works amazing!

### 1/5 — Scam!!

*2023-12-06*

Charged me after I sent an email asking about how to cancel because the app doesn’t work at all and I haven’t heard anything back from them in days!! Save the time and money and just buy a new remote this is a scam

### 3/5 — Keep looking

*2023-11-13*

Keep looking for your remote. Look under the sofa cushions. Look under the sofa. Look in the refrigerator. Look in the bathroom. Look under the bed. Look in the junk drawer. Look in the dog’s bed. Keep looking. Look under the sofa again. Look in the car. As long as you’re in the car, go to the store and buy a universal. If all else fails, you can use this one but it will annoy the h*ll out of you. Look under the sofa again.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2023-09-08*

Doesn’t load even half the time

### 5/5 — Pretty decent so far

*2023-09-01*

We lost the remote to our tv but if you have a usb keyboard that's all you need to get to your settings 🤷🏻‍♀️ it's really easy to use and works fast so i'd recommend it.

### 1/5 — Won’t remove adds even if you pay

*2023-08-29*

Going to have to request my money back. Do not buy

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-08-27*

Doesn’t even come close to working. Absolute junk.
