### 1/5 — Requires Payment at 5min

*2026-08-10, version 2.2*

If you are downloading this because you lost your remote, don’t waste your time. You get about 30 seconds before it requires payment to do anything.

### 5/5 — sam sam

*2025-02-23, version 2.0*

Nxuvh

### 1/5 — Donde buy it

*2023-05-05, version 1.5*

It’s a scam.  Doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Not worth the money or time

*2023-01-16, version 1.5*

Rubbish - not with the money - doesn’t work

### 5/5 — Very goooood

*2023-01-08, version 1.5*

I like it very much works great 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

### 1/5 — Gimme the cash

*2022-12-28, version 1.5*

I’ll tell you why I will give you the one star, because of the hundreds of apps I have tried, you managed to annoy me. The app works as intended, no button customization to make your own, but it works. 

What it doesn’t work is being able to press 3 buttons without an ad. Guys, seriously, this is beyond acceptable at this point. Let the customer use the app for an hour before drowning them in ads. I understand you need revenue, but this is beyond acceptable. I am not kidding, you press 2 buttons or you go to the settings and you get an ad. 

I might’ve, actually would’ve bought the app if you would have just let me use it and see how reliable it would be over at least an hour of use, but instead, even testing ALL the buttons took me way too long because of the constant adds. No $20 from me.

### 1/5 — Absolutely garbage

*2022-12-12, version 1.5*

so useless an ad every 2-3 clicks it took me 5 minutes to search smth

### 1/5 — Worthless Unless You Pay

*2022-10-31, version 1.5*

This app says free, but free version is worthless.  You can not even change the volume, it just states you have to pay big if you want to use volume feature. 

Constantly just brings up screen to purchase high dollar subscription.  Cheaper to just buy some more remotes and leave them laying around.   

Hardly anything works in free version.   Escape button works, but changing channels does not.  Changing volume does not.  Etc
