Responds fast and has all buttons the remote does ### 2/5 — Okay remote *2026-07-29, version 17.6* This remote is good but I think it’s giving my phone a virus. Too many pop ups ### 1/5 — Wont connect while tv is off *2026-07-21, version 17.6* Works when tv is on but not when tv is off. ### 1/5 — This app ain't the best *2026-07-18, version 17.6* It keeps saying that the tv and my phone ain't connected to the internet when they are, it generally doesn't work half of the time and I'm about to throw my phone out the window cause of it ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-07-17, version 17.6* This is disappointing and plays a lot of ads ### 1/5 — Never works *2026-07-15, version 17.6* Always say it can’t connect to the server ### 4/5 — remote *2026-06-28, version 17.6* glitchy at times, but it gets the job done. ### 4/5 — Good app *2026-06-26, version 17.6* Great app some adds but still connects perfectly almost all the buttons work perfectly 4 stars ### 3/5 — Bom *2026-06-24* O controle não funciona bem no momento de digitar… a maioria das vezes clicamos na letra e não funciona, é necessário ficar abrindo e fechando o aplicativo para conseguir. Para as demais coisas, funciona bem. **Developer response:** Olá, Lamentamos ouvir isso.😞 Sinta-se à vontade para nos enviar um vídeo curto do problema para support@os-apps.com.

I have to use a physical remote to turn my tv on just so this app can connect to it which defeats the whole purpose of this app if you need a physical remote to begin with. Also lots of pop up adds you have to keep an eye on the app when pressing buttons as ads will randomly pop up. ### 1/5 — Não está mais funcionando *2026-06-18* Simplesmente parou de funcionar **Developer response:** Olá, Lamentamos saber que a app o deixou a sentir-se desta forma.😔 Se algo não funcionou como esperado, pode partilhar mais detalhes sobre o problema aqui ou em support@os-apps.com, e teremos todo o gosto em analisá-lo. 🙏✨ Lily da osApps ### 1/5 — Devem melhorar mais *2026-06-17* Trava demais e sai toda hora **Developer response:** Olá, Lamentamos saber sobre sua experiência.😔 Se puder compartilhar um pouco mais sobre quando o app congela ou fecha, agradeceríamos muito.

Will tell you that it cannot find connection even when you aren’t connected to the same Wi-Fi this is an absolutely horrific app and it is a complete scam ads every five minutes do not download this app. It is a waste of your time. Complete scam. ### 1/5 — Expensive *2026-08-26, version 17.6* While I had the free version with commercials.

Be carefull ### 1/5 — Bad app. *2026-08-18, version 17.6* App barely works every time I press on on one of the buttons it says internet failed but how is my internet not working if I’m on the app so it’s u guys do not recommend ### 1/5 — Very inconsistent *2026-08-18, version 17.6* It seldom works woithout having to disconnect and restart.

It worked really well that day so I purchased the ad blocker. It hasn’t worked since.
