I was able to turn off the TV but the volume doesn’t work and I can’t send feedback directly on the app when I try to press it it doesn’t work and then when I say there’s another problem, it just takes me out of the app so you guys need to fix that **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, Lola. I'm glad you found the basic remote useful without a subscription. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with the volume control and the in-app feedback feature. We'll work on resolving these issues—your input helps us improve Roly! ### 4/5 — Todos *2025-12-05, version 3.0.0* Es buena la app pero cobra después de un tiempo ### 5/5 — Hsjlenevrbeneb *2025-12-02, version 3.0.0* Nave djdbdh ### 5/5 — Works very well better than real remotes. *2025-12-01, version 3.0.0* Love it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Y’all broke *2026-06-27, version 3.0.3* How y’all gonna charge to control a remote control app ? ### 1/5 — I’m not paying monthly for a remote 😭 *2026-05-01, version 3.0.3* If I could give it 0 stars I would ### 1/5 — Lets bring this rating down a bit *2026-02-02, version 3.0.0* Looks like a great app forsure. Not paying 7$ a week. Feeling greedy are we? I feel like this is a one time purchase kind of app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-01-27, version 3.0.0* Paid 20 dollars for nothing app doesn’t work and they won’t restore my purchase I made 2 days ago ### 1/5 — $6.99 a week? *2025-12-25, version 3.0.0* $6.99 a week for an app to act as a remote control, that’s ridiculous. It’s cheaper to just buy a replacement. You can also download the Roku app that comes with a remote control in it to control your tv for free ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-09-29, version 2.0.0* Worked for 1 hour. ### 1/5 — R *2025-08-06, version 2.0.0* Just downloaded it i don’t know if is good ### 1/5 — Fake *2025-07-26, version 2.0.0* It didn’t work ### 1/5 — Beware $6.99 A WEEK! *2025-07-05, version 2.0.0* They want $6.99 a week for a virtual remote?!?!? You can almost buy a new physical remote every week for that, crazy! ### 1/5 — How this app is an scam *2025-06-12, version 2.0.0* So it was working so good the other day why the next day it’s stops ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Disk *2026-05-11, version 3.0.3* Usudsiiwowlsllskssls ### 5/5 — Good *2026-05-10, version 3.0.3* I love it thanks ### 5/5 — Cool app *2026-04-11, version 3.0.0* Five stars ### 5/5 — Isabelita *2026-04-08, version 3.0.0* Strawberry ### 5/5 — Remote *2026-04-05, version 3.0.0* Awesome ### 5/5 — IRemote *2026-03-10* App muito bom ,MARAVILHAAA **Developer response:** Muito obrigado pelo seu comentário, Davylla!
