### 1/5 — Remote

*2026-08-05*

I wouldn’t recommend I has some problems with the app. All because my phone was connected to the same network to the tv that doesn’t really make sense.

**Developer response:** Hi,
We're sorry to hear that. 😞

If your phone and TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, the app should normally be able to connect.
Please let us know what issue you experienced, and we'll be happy to help however we can. ✨
