### 1/5 — Won’t let me connect

*2025-10-24, version 3.1*

I will be deleting this App. Not happy with it costing me money

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time or effort

*2022-09-20, version 3.1*

Started working and then stopped. The "help" pages tell you to verify whether the IP address has changed but does provide instructions on how to check for that or what to do next if it has somehow changed. Very disappointing.

### 5/5 — Works for me!

*2021-12-05, version 3.1*

I followed the instruction and the links and it works fine. Great job making this app!

### 1/5 — Failed and corrupt

*2020-04-19, version 3.1*

I just paid the apps downloaded on my iPhone but it won’t connect to my ps4 where I have my neflix account.  What is the use of paying for it if I’m not able to use it let alone connecting to anything.  This is a failed app and should not be out here.  I want my money back.  This is no charity and I work for that dollar while this app is only wasting my time and money.  Don’t download this app and I zero recommend it.😩

If the application doesn’t work for ps4, does that mean get to keep the money which was almost $4 Canadian that I paid or am I getting my $$ back??

### 5/5 — Excelente!

*2020-04-06*

Funciona perfeitamente no computador!

### 1/5 — Regret

*2020-03-30, version 3.1*

Didn’t even work for me

### 1/5 — Junk

*2020-03-10, version 3.1*

Doesn’t work with smart tv. If I could leave negative 5 stars I would. Save your time and money.

### 1/5 — No need for aap

*2019-07-11, version 3.1*

I would like a refund. I don’t need this app; it’s not compatible

### 1/5 — helppp

*2019-01-18, version 3.1*

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2018-10-28, version 3.1*
