It’s a painful repair process always taking over one hour and resulting in my making 2-3 calls to Vizio support and repeatedly doing the same sequences of rebooting and reinstalling. This really needs to get fixed. I love Vizio. This is my second Vizio large screen TV. The newer remote, however, did not last 6 months and quit working and the phone app repairing process is like Stone Age multi-step lunacy, like I am back in DOS programming days. Please fix this process!! ### 3/5 — More time *2024-07-26, version 1.3* I have not had time to use the remote so that why it’s a 3 star. Give me more time. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-03-28, version 1.3* Nothing is working with this remote. No matter what I do, I cannot get Wi-Fi. ### 3/5 — Tv *2024-02-02, version 1.3* I am so confused that’s why I cannot use this with the barcode scanner ### 4/5 — Good *2023-11-03, version 1.3* Works really well ### 4/5 — Lou *2023-10-13* I am excited to try this app. Very tired of losing remote for my Visio.

Since I do not pay to have tv programming & rely on the apps to watch my tv, this will pose a problem. My suggestion is to put a timer on your review requests so that your customer tries it before rating it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-11-16, version 1.3* It takes to long to find a tv doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-06-02, version 1.3* App doesn’t work.
