Those issues made everything right everything works. I should thank you. **Developer response:** Hi, we're really sorry for the trouble. The latest update fixes both issues: • Your previous Remove Ads purchase is now properly restored. Just update the app, open the upgrade screen, and tap "Restore Purchases" to get your ad-free access back. No new payment required. • The screen layout has been tightened on smaller iPhones so the controls no longer feel cramped against the edges. If the update works for you, we'd really appreciate it if you'd consider updating your review. Thanks for taking the time to write. ### 2/5 — Can you fix it *2025-10-08* I got this app to watch videos and movies but only some buttons work it word for a few days and stoped working only my app buttons work the arrow buttons did not work can you fix I can’t not find my remote **Developer response:** Hi!

Choose Control by mobile apps. 4. Enable Network Access. This should restore the connection. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-08-06, version 1.7* Needs setting up through the settings of the tv (so you need your original remote). No good for me, as ours is lost and I need something that works straight out of the box. ### 2/5 — Buttons aint workin *2025-03-28, version 1.5* The top buttons wont even work and the volume/mute isnt working ### 2/5 — Terrible app *2025-03-06, version 1.3* When I signed in and tried to connect the TV, it just kept signing me out of the app. I downloaded it and delete it several times and it still did not work. ### 2/5 — Not working *2025-02-16, version 1.3* I am right next to my tv and it won’t connect I am very mad ### 2/5 — Loses connection *2025-02-15, version 1.3* I don’t know why I keep losing connection every day I turn on the TV. I have some issue with it being connected. ### 1/5 — No funciona *2025-02-09, version 1.3* La verdad es que la descargué la primera vez y funcionaba muy bien pero de un momento a otro dejó de funcionar en lo absoluto ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2025-02-08, version 1.3* This was a decent app then it decided to stop working no matter what I did. ### 1/5 — Used to work great, but hardly works at all 😔 *2025-02-02, version 1.3* I had the trial version of this remote for over a month and eventually paid for the full version to not get interrupted by advertisements. It worked for a while, then one day just mostly stopped working. The only exceptions is the button to go to YouTube will take you to YouTube. Ironically, the free Roku app works just as good if not better than this one ever did back when it did work. I’m not sure what changed 🤷‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Remote not working correctly. *2025-01-29, version 1.3* Remote will not work correctly. All buttons will not work and you are unable to access apps. ### 3/5 — Was great app *2025-01-29* The app worked better than any other app I’ve ever used then it stopped working yesterday and still not responding anymore, if this is fixed I’ll give 5 stars **Developer response:** Hi!

Скам ### 1/5 — Junk app *2025-01-17, version 1.3* It’s not working ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pésimo *2026-06-29, version 2.0* No cambia de canal solo dise de vuelta en línea ### 1/5 — Working better before perched *2026-05-20, version 1.7* Was working really good so I decided to remove the add then it stops working feeling like I got trick ### 1/5 — Just want a simple remote *2026-05-14, version 1.7* Too many ads ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-03-28, version 1.7* This app connects but then only responds to 4 buttons on the remote. ### 1/5 — 😐 *2025-10-17* I was pretty excited at first because I looked at the reviews and most of them said it worked for a few days until it stopped working, and that’s all I needed it for. Just a couple of days until I got a new remote. It didn’t even connected to my tv when it said it did… I tried multiple times and even waited a couple of minutes to see if it just needed time to finish connecting. Not the case. I was sitting there for almost an hour trying to get it to work. All I wanted to do was watch the new episodes of The Voice, and I can’t even do that. Fix your app. **Developer response:** Hi!

Много рекламы. ### 1/5 — Fake *2025-07-08, version 1.7* Don’t buy it if you have Hisense Bye have a good day ### 1/5 — Not worth it, don’t subscribe *2025-06-26, version 1.7* I downloaded and subscribed trying to use a remote less TV in an Airbnb. I unsubscribed the same day and was still charged 9.99 and will have this subscription until June 2026. It isn’t much as far as cost, but also isn’t worth it. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-03-08, version 1.3* Does not work ### 1/5 — Doesnt work anymore *2025-02-16, version 1.3* App stopped working a month back.

That way you don’t have to watch ads, but you don’t have to. I’ve had this app for a 1 1/2 years and never paid for it not time. If you don’t want ads then pay for it, but you don’t have to!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
