My remote was torn up and chewed up by my dog fortunately, I have a extended warranty that I purchased through Walmart ### 1/5 — Stop *2025-08-02, version 1.1.20* Stop charging me for This app I Don’t have it ### 1/5 — Volume up does not work after a few days using *2025-07-27, version 1.1.19* Not acceptable ### 1/5 — They wanna charge for volume *2025-07-27, version 1.1.19* Wasted my time. It works but they wanna charge for volume. I think that’s absolutely pathetic. ### 1/5 — Sad *2025-07-04, version 1.1.18* Where is any good help? How do you get a hold of anybody? ### 1/5 — Unable to obtain free via App Store offer. Popup occurred right away *2025-06-27, version 1.1.15* Unable to obtain free via the App Store offer. A pop-up occurred right away saying after three days I would be billed. ### 2/5 — not working at all *2025-10-09, version 1.1.25* im so sad the turn off button on tv is not working at all it doesnt matter wich tv i use everywhere is the same cant turn on and off this why i only give 2 stars im sure you cant fix it ### 3/5 — Stops working randomly when I’m watching a show *2025-08-01* I was watching this show on Netflix and when I tried to go down to rewatch the part I missed it wouldn’t work, like I was pressing the buttons and it didn’t work and then when I trying going off and on my tv wouldn’t pop up until minutes later and this happened maybe 10 times already and I just started using the app like two days ago. PLEASE FIX ### 3/5 — Doesn’t Fast Forward *2025-06-21* Decent remote for people who need a work around from Eero connection disruptions but you can’t fast forward by holding the button down how you’d like. You have to spam fast forward until your finger snaps ### 4/5 — OMG LOL *2025-09-13* okay so i lost my remote the other day so i got the app. I loved it tho bc i hid in the hallway with my phone when my friend was in the room and then i went to the kids and famoly app and played baby shark 🤣🤣🤣 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Romu???? *2025-09-19* Did yall on purposely leave it as Romu?
