Other apps detect TV on install. ### 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 ### 3/5 — A good substitute *2026-05-27, version 7.7* My 1 yr old lost my original remote so this works fine but only for a bit because I don’t dig the zoomed screen ### 2/5 — TOOO Many Àdds *2026-05-24, version 7.7* Way too many adds ### 1/5 — Irritating *2026-04-24* Irritating with too many ads after every minute **Developer response:** Hi, We understand that ads can be frustrating.🥺 Just to mention, the app also offers a convenient ad-free option with a very small one-time payment, giving you lifetime access without ads. ✨💡 Lily from osApps ### 1/5 — Bad app *2026-04-24, version 7.7* Constantly crashes ### 1/5 — Too much ads *2026-04-12* Too much ads every time you used the remote **Developer response:** Hi, we understand that ads can be frustrating.😢 If the ads are interrupting your experience, please note that there is also a low one-time payment option for lifetime ad-free access available in the app. ✨💡 Lily from osApps ### 5/5 — Very helpful app! *2026-04-07, version 7.7* So handy when the kids lose the remote. 😆 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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! ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-06-05, version 7.7* Junk. Cannot use keyboard (the only reason to have it). Endless loop: device must be synced - enter key (provided by app) - select keyboard- type letter - device must be synced. Repeat…… ### 1/5 — Poor *2026-06-04, version 7.7* The tv, Sony will not perform at all. I need to remove this from my phone and cancel the subscription. I have had it about 10 minutes and it is totally useless./// i have been charged $120. Dollars from someone on the App Store. If it was not you I apologize. I have serious issues with my Sony TV. I can turn it on from the blue ray player the new remote from Amazon doesn’t work. The old remote from original perches doesn’t work. Your app doesn’t work. I had to get one from Apple. ### 1/5 — Never works *2026-05-24, version 7.7* Randomly won’t do anything at all. Useless. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-05-18, version 7.7* Sad excuse for a remote app, barely connects half the time and when it does I get maybe 3 taps before an ad. If I could give it negative stars I would. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-05-17, version 7.7* Horrible can’t even click the home button ### 1/5 — Poor use *2026-05-07, version 7.7* Can use for one or two taps before long ad pops up. Making it pointless. Have to close out, open, reconnect, scroll down, Etc Garbage ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work long *2026-04-25, version 7.7* Worked one time then quit connecting. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — I’m harder than a porn watcher wait I’m a porn watcher *2026-05-18, version 7.7* Ya umm inside ### 5/5 — it peak *2026-05-16, version 7.7* if very good ### 5/5 — i love it *2026-05-07, version 7.7* very good app, whoever made it. ily. ### 5/5 — Online Sony remote *2026-05-02* Very helpful ### 5/5 — Remote control is going on *2026-04-21* Good ### 5/5 — Best *2026-04-20, version 7.7* This is free so I don’t need to buy a new remote.
