If anyone know why please make a review about this comment or something. The app overall works well but in my case it’s in the middle. ### 1/5 — Awful app *2026-07-28, version 18.5* This app has potential, but the ridiculous pop up ads ruin your tv viewing. After doing several presses For channel or volume changes, up pops an ad that you can’t click out of. Horrible. ### 1/5 — Don’t pay please!!!!!! *2026-07-28, version 18.5* This app stopped working 95% of the time right after I payed to remove ads. Never had issues before. It’s extremely stupid ### 3/5 — Bug *2026-07-27* Usei pot muito tempo esse app, porém ele não obedece mais os comandos **Developer response:** Olá, Lamentamos muito saber disso. 😞 Por favor, envie-nos um vídeo curto do problema para support@os-apps.com e informe-nos quais comandos não estão mais respondendo. Vamos investigar o caso e fazer o nosso melhor para corrigir o problema. ✨ Lily da osApps ### 1/5 — App disconnects too much *2026-07-26, version 18.5* Doesn’t connect but ads work fine ### 2/5 — 2/5 *2026-07-25, version 18.5* i lost my tv remote and i had to click allow to use the app as my tv remote so yea ### 1/5 — Samsung Remote *2026-07-25, version 18.5* Pulling up as a onn 32’ ### 1/5 — Worthless *2026-07-24, version 18.5* Does not work with my Samsung 70 inch purchased last year at Best Buy. ### 1/5 — It’s asking to click *2026-07-21, version 18.5* The reason I need to download a remote is because at the moment I don’t have one. But in order to use the remote that is being installed you have to click “allow” on the tv ….. how are you supposed to do that if you don’t have a remote? 🤦🏽‍♀️ ### 2/5 — Pubblicità invasiva *2026-07-21, version 18.5* Funziona. Ma con una pubblicità estremamente invasiva. ### 3/5 — only works SOMETIMES *2026-07-18, version 18.5* i really like the features free to users but connection only works rarely. yes, i make sure my tv is on and connected to my wifi, so there shouldn't be anything wrong. ### 3/5 — Not bad *2026-07-17, version 18.5* It’s really good, if kinda looks like a picture but it actually works,it would be AMAZING if it had no ads because they r just rlly annoying other than that it’s good and easy to use ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-16, version 18.5* Couldn’t even use it and when the name popped up it didn’t even connect to my tv. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Malicious ads *2026-08-21, version 18.5* Places ads and pop up ads that are intended to make you think it’s part of using the remote. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-08-16, version 18.5* Need the actual remote to allow the app to control the tv. If I get to actually grab the real remote, then I wouldn’t need the stupid app to control the tv and can just use the real remote. So dumb. Update: it’s not only the initial approval. It’s every time I turn on the tv from the app. I did change the tv settings like the app recommended, but it still asks every time I turn on the tv. I deleted the stupid app and download a universal app that doesn’t ask every time. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-14, version 18.5* Terrible UX. Clickbait ads make you have to open and close the app constantly ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-08-13, version 18.5* Need the actual remote to allow the app to control the tv. If I get to actually grab the real remote, then I wouldn’t need the stupid app to control the tv and can just use the real remote. So dumb. ### 1/5 — Total Scam *2026-08-12, version 18.5* Redirects to harmful websites. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-08-12, version 18.5* Never works, complete pointless app. Best case I have to have physical remote to push allow every single time. What a joke ### 1/5 — works great for about 30 seconds *2026-08-11, version 18.5* seems to be great but errors after about 30 seconds and redirects you to appstore to buy a different app. you must force quit this remote and start it again. then it runs for 30 seconds and fails again. says the unlock cost is $1.99 which i would be HAPPY to pay, but the app doesn't work :( fwiw i would be happy to pay a one time charge for $5-10 if only it worked. sad... ### 1/5 — Why *2026-08-03, version 18.5* I used it once and now it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Issues *2026-07-30, version 18.5* The remote keeps disconnecting from my tv, then it’s trouble reconnecting it. Really frustrating ### 1/5 — It will not connect *2026-07-30, version 18.5* My client lost his remote and I have a Vizio remote on my phone, so I tried to download this one for him and it would not connect. It kept saying it timed out when I had just pressed the button. Over and over again. Very disappointed ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2026-08-25, version 18.5* it works perfectly for what I want, and only has a couple of ads, get this app and the only thing you might not like will be the ads ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-17, version 18.5* This app is amazing ### 5/5 — Recomendado *2026-08-10, version 18.5* Vine hasta acá solo para dejar la reseña, me funcionó muy bien, lástima que cuando se desconecta el TV hay que volver a configurarlo con el televisor, de resto, muy útil.
