Then how are they expected to turn it on so that this app can connect to it?.. I’m using a Roku, one of several that don’t have manual on and off buttons. A remote is needed. And since this app only works for tvs with manual buttons on it, I’ll just have to go buy a new Roku remote. Might want to add to y’all’s description that this app only works if ur tv is already on. Would’ve saved time and bad reviews. **Developer response:** Dear user, we are sorry that our App doesn't make you satisfied. In order to help you better, can you please kindly tell us some details about your issue or please just email us to ios.feedback@boostvision.com.cn in your spare time. Also, you may try pressing the physical button on the TV to see whether it works. ### 1/5 — This app is a Scam *2023-09-17* This app simply does not work reliably. You only download it because the original remote that ships with the TV breaks. To add insult to injury you download this app, you get charged a subscription and then it doesn’t work. This is the definition of a scam. Don’t download it. For those that have, perhaps we should start a class action lawsuit. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review!! We are so sorry that the app doesn't work well for you. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Could you please describe more details about the error so we can further help you?
