### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-08-16, version 7.7*

Trash. Makes you reconnect every 10 seconds.

### 1/5 — Suck

*2026-08-11, version 7.7*

It work once and never work again

### 5/5 — Excellent remote app

*2026-08-02, version 7.7*

I lost my remote and found this app. Easy to use and set up. It was a lifesaver. Definitely recommend this app.

### 4/5 — Awesome but…

*2026-07-18, version 7.7*

Would be better with a widget added in!

### 1/5 — Takes too long to connect

*2026-07-15, version 7.7*

The app works fine for my Sony Android television, but takes forever to connect. Until then, I cannot turn my tv on or off or do any other functions until it’s done “building” and this is very annoying. It’s taken 15 minutes or longer waiting for it to connect. It takes me way less time than that for me to download a better app and delete this one. I’m out!

### 3/5 — Sony Bravia KDL-48W600B

*2026-07-03, version 7.7*

Doesn’t detect Ethernet connection, that I could find. Other apps detect TV on install.

### 5/5 — Hi hi

*2026-07-02, version 7.7*

You don’t have to pay and not much ads

### 5/5 — Now this is a remote app

*2026-06-20, version 7.7*

so much better than any other app out there if you need to download something for any reason.  it is for sony and i like how it looks just like my old remote. it has a one time VERY inexpensive charge IF YOU want to pay it. You can use the app for FREE if not and there are so many apps that are “in app purchases” which is a very short trial and then an astonishing amount of money to continue using. Thank you so much Sony. I’m so glad I found this remote.

### 4/5 — How call I change the type of remote?

*2026-06-19, version 7.7*

How call I change the type of remote?

### 2/5 — Takes too long

*2026-06-10, version 7.7*

Takes too long to load and it actually gets real frustrating when I need to turn of my tv or lower it down. Last time it took a whole 7 mins for it to load, and I have 5G internet
