Most of the time I have to wait for the add to play before I can stop rewinding. Pretty inconvenient. ### 1/5 — Quite deceiving ad *2022-07-04, version 1.0.4* Lured in to remote for $19.99 Felt it was pricey, but fair No deluged with ads on remote, and asking for another $5 ? To remove ? Dishonest & deceptive business practice Shameful ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No More Pop-Ups! *2026-01-29* Way too many pop-up ads! Please change! I will be deleting this app! Unhappy! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-12-14* I can’t get it to work on my TCL tv ### 1/5 — Adds make it a hard NO *2025-11-22* You can’t do anything while the irrelevant adds play. And they are not short adds either. ### 1/5 — NOT WORKING SINCE UPDATE *2025-07-12* I have the paid version and it has stopped working since the update. It has been a few months since I tried using and it’s still not working. ### 1/5 — Too many ads and so slow *2025-07-03* It’s really hard to move around and there’s too many ads and it’s slow like today. I was using it well actually my mom was using it and she was like this needs to be like updated or something cause it’s really hard to control things move cause there’s so many apps popping up. ### 1/5 — MH FLIPPING REMOTE IS LOST *2025-03-11, version 1.3* I LOST MY REMOTE AND THIS STUPUD APP HAS AN AD EVERY 4 CLICKS! ### 1/5 — NOT WORKING SINCE UPDATE *2024-12-29* I have the paid version and it has stopped working since the update. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2024-10-11* You can’t hit the button three times without an ad popping up. It’s ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Remote on I phone *2024-07-05* Zero rating No instructions No Roku Poorer ### 1/5 — This is rigged *2023-04-24* This app is broken because we only have one Roku and no TLC TVs in are house and when I press on the tv it’s not Evan the right one ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — David V *2026-02-23* I have tried 4 or 5 other tv remote apps and none of them worked as smoothly as this one. I originally couldn’t turn on my TV with the remote. Found a TV setting needed to be changed on my tv. Now this app gives me everything I need in a remote. ### 5/5 — Tried a few *2026-02-18* I tried a few before this app. One time purchase and actually works! I can live with this…it’s how products are supposed to be, but rarely are. ### 5/5 — TCL awesome *2025-10-26* This app is awesome I don’t have as many ads as other apps I have tried and it connects so freaking fast ### 5/5 — Remote control *2025-09-08* Tv remote died. Have to have someway to turn tv on so I downloaded this. Couldn’t stand adds so I paid a onetime fee and never looked back. So nice to have it on my phone. ### 5/5 — wonderful! *2025-06-02* I couldn’t find any other app that worked like this one this one works very good 👍 and I have a TCL TV so this is perfect! ### 5/5 — Tcl *2025-05-29* It works it don’t have no ads and you don’t need to pay ### 5/5 — Works *2025-03-25* First remote I’ve ever downloaded and had work without incident ### 5/5 — Finally found one!!!! *2025-01-17* I literally just downloaded atleast 20 apps and they either didn’t work or had to pay a weekly fee. My tv is a Roku TCL and this app right here does the job without any issues. I even ended up getting a free trial with another app before I found this one and even that didn’t work. This one is FREE and works perfectly!!!! ### 5/5 — The realest spare help! *2023-04-29* You have a Roku? This is the app for you. Worth what stipulation they have ### 4/5 — Taniya smith *2025-08-05* I like it we can connect to my google tv but I don’t. I know about all of them but at my rate i think it amazing though it does have a lot of adds --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
