### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-01-12, version 5.01.013*

It does what is says. The turn on button doesn’t work. It needs to be a HISENSE TV FROM 2018 if not the app won’t recognise the Tv. Overall it is a good app and works like it should

### 3/5 — v.5.01.013 no found tv in ios 26.1 16promax

*2025-11-15, version 5.01.013*

15 nov 2025 please fix a connection between tv in local network that all time and sometime did not found tv and fix position for a shutdown button at top right corner by move down button for a bit because this button could not press and not suitable for 16 promax display.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-08-09, version 5.01.013*

The remote that I have to pay for work with this high sense TV. But the remote written for the TV that is free does not work. Bit of a drag.

### 2/5 — La tv non si connette

*2025-08-03, version 5.01.013*

Comprato ieri il mio nuovo tv HiSense 7e 43 qled sono abbastanza soddisfatta del tv ma quando cerco di connetterlo con l’app mi esce un messaggio che bisogna aggiornare la versione del tv fatto l’aggiornamento ma nulla non si connette spero che riuscirete a risolvere il problema

### 1/5 — No updates since U5 Series over 4 years ago? Why buy a U7 or U8 if there’s no app support for them?

*2025-07-31, version 5.01.013*

Absolutely does not find current Hisense TV models thereby rendering both newer Hisense TV’s and this App completely useless.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-07-26, version 5.01.013*

App doesn’t work with the tv. Keeps saying to update app, but app is up to date. So annoying.

### 1/5 — Garbage.

*2025-07-16, version 5.01.013*

How is this app so bad. It’s 2025

### 1/5 — Unreliable remote

*2025-07-13, version 5.01.013*

### 1/5 — Same problem as the previous person with it not connecting

*2026-02-07, version 5.01.013*

Just won’t connect & returns to tap to turn on repeatedly without actually turning on

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-02-02, version 5.01.013*

Does not work at all.

### 1/5 — POS

*2026-01-30, version 5.01.013*

POS

### 1/5 — Completely garbage

*2026-01-12, version 5.01.013*

Used to work with Alexa devices on hisense TVs basically it sees the TV connected, but it does nothing and it won't connect in the app just shows it in the list

### 1/5 — It says app does not support tv

*2026-01-09, version 5.01.013*

App does not support tv

### 1/5 — Inutile

*2025-11-22, version 5.01.013*

Application qui fonctionne seulement si on allume avec la télécommande d’abord. On ne peut pas allumer la tv avec le téléphone car la télé devient indétectable. L’application est donc inutile

### 1/5 — Unreliable remote

*2025-11-09, version 5.01.013*

It frustrates more than it helps.. i can call it headache and useless remote...

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iOS18?

*2025-09-17, version 5.01.013*

After months I finally updated 1 device to iOS18 and now this app crashes instantly. I guess they’re never going to update since it’s been 4 years.

### 1/5 — UPDATE YOUR APP

*2025-08-25, version 5.01.013*

I want to connect my Alexa to my TV and realize that the app is had no updates in forever. How are we supposed to connect our smart devices if the app is not want to be compatible when it’s so outdated

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr

*2025-08-09, version 5.01.013*

Das letzte Update dieser App ist über 4 Jahre her. Wahrscheinlich gibt es keine Weiterentwicklung. Mit den neuen Updates des Fernsehers, ist diese App unbrauchbar geworden. sehr schade.

### 5/5 — Lifesaver!

*2025-12-31, version 5.01.013*

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-11-15, version 5.01.013*

Works a treat, would love if it could also turn the TV on but I understand there are limitations!

### 5/5 — PLEASE UPDATE

*2025-09-17, version 5.01.013*

Hisense needs to update the app so I can use my echo to control my tv. But I can’t do that with the current system version. Ugh.
