### 2/5 — Works sometimes

*2026-09-05, version 2.1*

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. It worked way better before the update.

### 2/5 — Help needs to be easier to contact

*2025-04-02, version 1.29*

I now have 2 privacy choices, which I did not need or want, and 2 prime video choices, and I would like one. I also would like to know how to cancel all of my preferences in the preferred channels. I paid for this, but I am really unhappy with this problem.

### 2/5 — Partially Works

*2025-03-10, version 1.29*

Not all buttons worked even after purchasing subscription. I got a new Samsung TV now it works even worse. Channels aren’t showing up no matter what I do & it keeps saying it can’t connect even though it’s showing it’s connected on the TV.
I sent an email but never got a response. Just wish the developer of this app would help.

### 2/5 — It’s okay

*2024-12-25, version 1.29*

You have to repeatedly allow access on the tv

### 4/5 — 👍👍

*2024-09-05, version 1.29*

👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂

### 4/5 — Good

*2024-06-07, version 1.29*

Nice

### 2/5 — Remote doesn’t work

*2024-05-20, version 1.29*

My TV won’t connect to this app was working until I chosen to pay the one-year description

### 3/5 — Rich

*2024-05-16*

Not bad, minor quirks. I have for Samsung television. Holding down the volume button does not do anything except move it down one at a time the app says if you press and hold the volume button it will just scroll right down, but it does not have to hit the volume button each time to lower the volume. There were times in which the remote cannot find the television and several times I’ve had to delete the app and re-download it but overall it’s adequate sometimes frustrating.

### 3/5 — Great When Work Very Glitchy

*2024-05-13, version 1.29*

When this app works it’s great 80% of the time it does not work and there’s no way to fix it. It just decides to work when it wants to. Restart phone, restart TV doesn’t fix when it’s not working.  Each time you go to raise or lower the volume or use in any way you have to re-give permission with you actual TV remote that came with your Samsung TV

### 5/5 — Samsung 75 series

*2024-05-12, version 1.29*

It worked perfectly And I love it! Thank you so very much!

### 3/5 — Great Sometime

*2024-05-09, version 1.29*

Sometimes works, sometimes not. With that kind of reliability, Ive decided to cancel after 2 yrs. I am tech savvy, but got tired of troubleshooting buggy apps a long time ago, and now find myself walking away from applications that are buggy instead of seeing it as a challenge like I used to. I would prefer a refund since my renewal was just in February, but the developer doesn’t do that, so my subscription (although I cancelled it) will be available until Feb 2025.  ATTN DEVELOPER: If you read this perhaps you could suggest some causes for the constant loss of ability to use the app. Otherwise I am requesting that you refund my subscription in full.

### 1/5 — Update won’t allow me to use power button

*2026-05-14, version 2.1*

After the recent update in May 2026, I haven’t been able to use the power button. Every time I press the power button there is a pop up to pay for the service. Now I have a useless remote app with no power button.

### 5/5 — A great app

*2024-10-08, version 1.29*

The app is one of the best apps that work with your Tv and it is easy to get it hooked up with your TV it don’t take nothing but three minutes till get it hooked up to your TV if I can give it a 10 star, it would have the  10 star

### 5/5 — Large mirror

*2024-09-11, version 1.29*

Very nice to do business with this person, would not hesitate to do business again

### 5/5 — Updated: constant disconnect solved

*2024-08-11, version 1.29*

The below problem went away after I made my first review. Not sure if the developer fixed it but I didn’t do anything special on my end. I’m much happier with the app now. 

***Works great only problem is I constantly have to use the other remote to re-approve using this one. Which means if that other remote died, I wouldn’t be able to use this app. So it’s not a true replacement.

### 5/5 — Pleasantly surprised!

*2024-08-04, version 1.29*

Easy install and ready to go!

### 5/5 — Samsung remote

*2024-07-01, version 1.29*

Best remote control I’ve seen on an app

### 5/5 — Smart Samsung remote

*2024-05-23, version 1.29*

Got it set up on the first try,this comes in handy as a backup plan.This is a bomb app.
