(I believe, around there.) On doing so you’ll experience the app disconnecting constantly and having to connect back to your Firestick after 15 minutes of not using it seems like. Just paying 8.99 to be inconvenienced. ### 1/5 — Crazy expensive *2026-08-30, version 2.0.4* Costs more than my phone bill a month ### 1/5 — App suck & charge 8.99 per week *2026-08-29, version 2.0.4* This app is stupid. It charges $500 a year to use the remote. Nobody in there right mind would pay for that. ### 1/5 — Scam app *2026-08-28, version 2.0.4* No way to cancel subscription in app ### 3/5 — Remote *2026-08-27, version 2.0.4* Volume does not work and it buffers often ### 1/5 — Seriously $9 a month? *2026-08-27, version 2.0.4* Seriously charging customers to use this app is ridiculous. Talk about money gouging. ### 1/5 — Fake *2026-08-26, version 2.0.4* It’s no working ### 1/5 — A bunch of scammers! *2026-08-26, version 2.0.4* I would give it ZERO starts be ware they will charge 7.99 WEEKELY!! not monthly ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-24, version 2.0.4* Will charge you $8 per week subscription without your consent. ### 1/5 — Bs Don’t download *2026-08-23, version 2.0.4* Nothing but a Pay wall that wants access to your network ### 1/5 — Stealing money *2026-08-18, version 2.0.4* Has been charging me 7$ a week for months without ever signing up. Absolutely terrible. ### 1/5 — What is this *2026-08-17, version 2.0.4* My tv stopped connecting to the tv so I figured I would use this app since I was in a pinch downloaded it, opened it, and IMMEDIATELY “upgrade for $9 weekly” I clicked no and attempted to use the app but wait… every time you try to use anything in the app it makes you subscribe to there weekly plan, I get it you guys want money but this is ridiculous, take this money grab trash off the App Store ### 1/5 — i can’t stop paying *2026-08-17, version 2.0.4* it is making it as hard as possible to remove my subscription ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-08-16, version 2.0.4* Not worth it. Roku remote is free I didn’t intend to purchase I thought I downloaded a free one but it was only free for 3 days I guess. I thought I canceled it. But it said I had through the 14th. Tried to use it the night of the 14th and it charged me. Ridiculous. I didn’t need it. I don’t want it. I want my money back. ### 3/5 — Mid *2026-08-16, version 2.0.4* If i want to use it throughout what im watching i have to pause to reconnect also delay ### 1/5 — $8.99 a week *2026-08-15, version 2.0.4* Why would I pay $8.99 a week when I could make a 1 time purchase of a new remote. The price is insane. ### 1/5 — Theft !! *2026-08-14, version 2.0.4* I canceled this subscription, yet I continue to be charged repeatedly every week. I have already made it clear that I no longer authorize these recurring charges. I am demanding that you immediately stop all future billing and refund every charge that was processed after my cancellation. I have documentation of the cancellation and the subsequent charges. If these unauthorized charges continue or this matter is not resolved, I will dispute the charges with my financial institution and file complaints with the appropriate consumer-protection agencies. I am also prepared to pursue any legal remedies available to me. Please consider this my formal notice to stop billing immediately and provide written confirmation of the cancellation and refund. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rip off *2026-09-07, version 2.0.4* $9 a week is ridiculous ### 1/5 — Remote app *2026-09-06, version 2.0.4* Subscription is not what I expected. Just buy a remote and get it over with. ### 1/5 — I tried. I cant keep using it. *2026-09-05, version 2.0.4* It works. For about 5 minutes. It keeps disconnecting. Even if I leave the phone open, off battery save , never turn the screen off. It STILL disconnects. My router is through one door and about 15 feet away. I have 300/35 internet. I have a docsis 3.1 modem and an R7000 router. I have an iPhone 15 pro max with ios 17.3. There is no reason for this app to keep disconnecting. I have to find another app until I get a new remote. ### 1/5 — I DONT REMEMBER THAT *2026-09-05, version 2.0.4* So I have my fire tv but I don’t have the pin so I can’t get in so one star and plus idk the ip of it ### 1/5 — Weak Connection *2026-09-05, version 2.0.4* I have to connect my Tv every 5 seconds. App needs an upgrade ### 1/5 — Cost too much *2026-09-05, version 2.0.4* I downloaded the app because my fire tv app kept glitching. I quickly deleted it because if you need to charge a fee fine . Maybe a one time charge would be fine. But a WEEKLY subscription is crazy! It’s cheaper to just buy a replacement remote off Amazon! The creators of this app should be ashamed! And a one who brought it is wasting money smh ### 1/5 — Remote *2026-09-04, version 2.0.4* It doesn’t work for my TV ### 1/5 — Literally will steal your money *2026-09-03, version 2.0.4* Tried asking through their main website support page a question about how to cancel my “paid subscription” and it said “error occurred- couldn’t send” the email on their own page. It is a SCAM!!! RUN!!! ### 1/5 — You have to pay to use the remote *2026-09-02, version 2.0.4* I downloaded this app because I lost my remote and it started off great I tryed to use the remote on my tv and it was popping a buy thing on my phone I would hit no and try again and it was happening over and over don’t download this I’m pretty sure it don’t work ### 1/5 — Este app no sirve solo me robo $9 dólares es una estafa y nunca encontró mi TV es una basura *2026-09-01, version 2.0.4* No cirve es una basura ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The bestttt *2026-09-07, version 2.0.4* The bestttt lolll😀⭐️ ### 5/5 — Firestick *2026-08-17, version 2.0.4* Remote app works flawless so far ### 5/5 — Y’all this app is so fun *2026-08-14, version 2.0.4* So recently this app is so fun like disconnected to my TV already.
