Why create an app that isn’t going to be used for more than 5minutes??! ### 1/5 — Unusable because of adds *2026-06-03, version 1.08* The App works fine but adds which stop you using it every 39 seconds make it unusable. ### 1/5 — Sensitisation at its best *2026-06-03, version 1.08* Application worked great a year ago when I downloaded it, but there’s so much blow in so much untested stuff that the app doesn’t work with my TV anymore at all or has problems when it does. ### 1/5 — Ads Ads Ads *2026-06-01, version 1.08* Every single time you open the app there’s an ad to wait for to use the remote.

Nunca encuentra el dispositivo aun cuando ya se le han otorgado todos los permisos y se encuentra en la misma red. ### 1/5 — If I don’t watch commercials on my tv , why should I watch them for a remote *2026-07-06, version 1.08* Honestly the remote work great. But why does it have to have commercials every 2 min. Can’t wait for my replacement to come in. I guess I’ll put up with commercials till then. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-06, version 1.08* Ads between 2 clicks!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Non working chrome cast remote *2026-08-09, version 1.09* I couldn’t get the original or replacement chrome cast remote to pair. I tried everything I need to include a GE universal remote. The universal remote used to work the chrome ast remote but it is hit and miss lately. I came across this app and was very skeptical bcuz most apps don’t do what they say they will. For me this app worked exactly as the handheld one except for the ads but I can deal with that. The biggest issue I had. With a tv remote taking the place of the chromecast remote was that it wouldn’t control the chroma at volume. For those that know what I talking about, it means if the volume on the chrome at remote is at volume 7 level, even if you turn your tv volume to 100 the volume can barely be heard. In this case with this app I can control the volume back to level 25 which means the tv volume high. I hope I explained it correctly but I am happy I have a solution. Bcuz without the remote the tv was barely heard. ### 5/5 — The best app *2026-08-03, version 1.09* It has a few ads ### 5/5 — 😡adds *2026-08-01, version 1.09* I hate the adds ### 5/5 — The best day *2026-06-26, version 1.08* One day I just lost my remote and I had no idea what to do so then I have a Google TV in my room so I decided to get the GoogleTV Remote app and I was very happy with my option and I might have some ads, but that’s OK. I give this five star review. I know I might be just a kid but I love this app so much and I love rate apps and I am very happy to write this one. Thank you for creating this app. We only downside about it. Is that when I was pressing Netflix saying that on my TV it was saying that I don’t have the ability to do that so I was very confused about that but that’s OK because thinking even though I do have the app and I am scheduled inside it may just be somewhere weird about my TV thank you ### 5/5 — S *2026-04-22, version 1.07* Awesome ### 5/5 — Smooth use *2026-04-01, version 1.07* Experience is mostly smooth with only a small delay sometimes. ### 5/5 — Pretty easy *2026-03-30, version 1.07* Setup was simple and quick, I just opened the app and it detected my Chromecast device without needing retries or extra steps. ### 5/5 — Quick launch *2026-03-25* Starts fast and connects quickly. ### 5/5 — Clean layout *2026-03-25* Everything is organized nicely. ### 5/5 — Quick access *2026-03-25* Open app and connect instantly. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
