Has an ad every 5-8 seconds. They don’t last long but it’s almost impossible to use with that many interruptions. Will be deleting.

Not free
I bought the app when it was a one time fee to have no ads. Then the app developer changed their pricing methods to monthly subscriptions and did not honor my original purchase. I should be refunded my money or grandfathered into new subscription method.
Adware
Too many ads
New update made my tv no longer usable despite being just fine last night and this morning (5/16) and now when i try to connect it tries to get me to download a different app
True
EVERY 5 SECONDS THERES A ADD LIKE IF YOUR GUNNA HAVE A TV REMOTE APP MAKE IT TO WHERE THERES NO ADDS
Why do you have to pay to use a virtual remote atp I might aswell buy another one
Didn’t let me even go on the app never mind use it shocking.
Downloaded and found my Visio in the list and Apple TV. Says only works with Samsung and need to download additional app. Can’t locate my tv on the second app which you have to pay for to use and just to see if it works which it doesn’t.
Always reliable
I didn’t realize universal remotes got so expensive and I don’t understand the ads because they pop up so much I would imagine people are more aggravated than interested in whatever they advertise. That said if paying for the app gets rid of them, then you got yourself a good remote.
Inconsistantt
Doesn’t have a sound control can’t turn sound up or down
Now I don’t mind adds for not having to pay, but this is ridiculous. I can’t even change my tv settings because every 4 clicks is an add, and by the time the add is done my tv times out. Basically if you need to do more than change volume you’re screwed. Would have loved to buy the better add free version when my money is less tight, but the experience with the free version is losing my support as I’m sure it has with many many others

Useless
Can
Every like seven buttons you press an ad comes up. This is the worst remote ever you guys need to at least make it like 20 buttons until an ad comes up because this every single thing I press an ad comes up I can’t even get to HBO max without it had been like 10 ads
