Only works 10% of the time. Every time you press a button it shows an ad, which takes multiple attempts to close out. DO NOT USE. Just go to the store and buy a universal remote. Save the frustration for a more useful time. ### 1/5 — Crap *2022-06-01, version 1.3.1* None of the remote apps on the App Store work stop trying trust me. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-05-14, version 1.3.1* It says unable to connect to the device ### 1/5 — Doesnt work..other ratings are fake *2021-12-09, version 1.2.1* Doest work ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads left and right *2024-05-30, version 1.3.3* I can barely go to Netflix without there being 2 ads every 30 seconds. Don’t recommend ### 1/5 — Remote just stopped working. *2023-07-29, version 1.3.3* I have been using this app for a while now and even bought the ads free version. I have had nothing but issues when trying to connect this remote to my tv recently. It just says “trying to connect” but does not connect at all. I’m not sure why they’re charging for ads free when the remote just randomly stops connecting to the device. I would not recommend this app to anyone else until they fix the issues within it. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2022-12-21, version 1.3.3* Too many ads ### 1/5 — Used to love this remote *2022-12-07, version 1.3.3* When I found this remote I was in love. I thought I found the best. I did not have any ads. Now recently there’s tons of ads. Every 10 seconds seems like. Every time I click theres a stupid ad. I went a great 6+ months with zero ads. Time to delete and keep looking ### 1/5 — OMG!! Too many commercials *2022-10-27, version 1.3.2* I use this app approximately a month ago it were great now every time I perform an action I have to watch a stupid video that I can’t get away from it’s the most ridiculous thing I’m currently in search of another app and my remotes! I am only using this out of desperation… And to get another app to pick up on my TV ### 1/5 — Foh wand *2022-10-26, version 1.3.2* I don’t know what happened to the first ad I posted but when I first installed this remote there were literally no ads and now every button I click there is an ad that is hard to close out of. You literally have to exit out three different pages just for another ad to pop up when you try to click a button . Every button that’s clicked there is an ad that takes at least 5 minutes to close out of. This app is completely useless now and I will be uninstalling. And no I am not paying for ad free service just for a remote to control my tv. Ridiculous! This app is garbage! ### 1/5 — The ads are ridiculous. *2022-10-15, version 1.3.2* Every few taps they throw an ad on you. If they offered to watch ads to get ad free timeframe that would work a lot better and I may change my rating to a better one. ### 1/5 — Trouble connecting *2022-10-15, version 1.3.2* It has aloooooootttt of trouble connecting ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all! *2022-10-15, version 1.3.2* It finds my tv but every time I click on any buttons it goes to an ad. It’s completely unusable. I can’t do anything with it at all. Trash! ### 1/5 — Use for one day until you get another remote *2022-10-08, version 1.3.2* Absolute trash can app, always crashes and littered with ads. Garbage. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It works so good😄 *2022-08-30, version 1.3.1* I finally found an app that works for my tv yay! ### 5/5 — Remote *2022-07-05, version 1.3.1* It’s easy to use I love it ### 5/5 — Finally an app that works for my Phillips tv!! *2022-06-14, version 1.3.1* After a long search through the Apple Store and trying to find something that worked and was also convenient was so hard until I came across this app im so happy and relieved. I couldn’t use my remote that came with the tv because it stopped working so it was hard trying to find an alternative. But I did and It works great ! Im so happy and satisfied with this app!!! 😁👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 ### 5/5 — Works *2022-05-11, version 1.3.1* Thank you for the app… others didn’t work… the main remote keeps going out… this app is a life saver ### 5/5 — It does work *2022-05-10, version 1.3.1* I was trying to find a good app as a control to my smart phillips tv since my control broke thanks to my kids 🤦🏽‍♀️ sooooo after trying a couple I found this one! And ufff it does work finallyyyyy 😇🙂☺️ ### 4/5 — Works Great!! *2022-11-08, version 1.3.3* Works great on my Phillips android tv but doesn’t pick up my Roku Phillips tv but fast and easy to use I recommend it. ### 3/5 — Sold their souls *2022-10-17, version 1.3.2* This app was great. I literally downloaded it because it was the better than other TV apps, I think I even left a review about how good it was. Sadly (just like everything else that is ever useful or provides entertainment) this app wanted more money in the expense of the user experience, so they added ads that you have to watch and then when you try to close out of it and it pulls the page up for the app in the store so I close that page just to wait AGAIN as a different page for the same ad, I finally get to close it, just to click on a new tab and get another ad. Listen, make your money they way you need that’s fine. But bro it’s a remote control app how much could you possibly need to keep it running. Also, if you do need the money then make an app worthy of ads like a game or color by numbers app something. I’m not gonna just dump on the app. I know there are real people who made this app so my suggestion is you could show me an ad when I open the app instead of every time I click on “connect” then click on “control” (the two most important buttons) Show me an one ad when I connect for the first time And You can also let me close the app after the first 5 seconds instead of pressing close on 3 different windows. Again. This app works, better than most. But chill out with the ads. ### 2/5 — Worked *2022-12-24, version 1.3.3* When I had the free version with tons of adds it worked. When I purchased the app it stopped working for my Phillips tv and hasn’t worked since. ### 2/5 — Adds *2022-12-18, version 1.3.3* The app has to much adds in it, very annoying ### 2/5 — i don’t fw this app. *2022-11-25, version 1.3.3* It was cool for a while.. wtvv. Now ts got mad ads and pop ups. Wanting me to pay.. literally fix this . --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
