### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-06-02, version 1.5.5*

This app doesn’t work and I just upgraded to the $39.99 annual plan.

### 5/5 — Brilliantly done!

*2026-05-11, version 1.5.5*

I love this work!

### 2/5 — Ads ads ads

*2026-03-28, version 1.5.5*

Too many ads

### 1/5 — Shows Porn Images

*2026-02-07, version 1.5.5*

Xxx

### 1/5 — just get the free trial then cancel

*2026-01-02, version 1.5.5*

This app is unusable with the amount of ads. For 7$ a week you could literally buy a replacement remote. On top of that, every time I swipe out of the app I have to reconnect to the tv. By the time it reconnects the ad I was going to skip is over. I only use this for controlling my tv on youtube, and even for doing that it sucks even with the premium trial.

### 1/5 — Não é gratuito

*2025-12-26*

Só funciona talvez na versão paga. 
Desinstalei no mesmo instante.

**Developer response:** Olá! Agradecemos a sua avaliação. Gostaríamos de esclarecer que a aplicação é totalmente funcional na versão gratuita. Apenas algumas características avançadas requerem uma assinatura PRO. Pode utilizar as funcionalidades principais da aplicação sem pagar. Se não funcionou para si, esta não é, definitivamente, a experiência que queremos proporcionar. Por favor, partilhe o seu registo do MeisterApps diretamente da aplicação. Ou contacte-nos pelo e-mail support@mirrormeister.com. Teremos todo o gosto em ajudar e garantir que tudo funciona conforme o esperado.

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2025-12-06, version 1.5.5*

Product sucks

### 1/5 — Not The Greatest!

*2025-12-02, version 1.5.5*

Plagued with ads
Not the app I could recommend.

### 1/5 — Ads are irritating

*2025-09-21, version 1.5.5*

I understand the free version having ads…but if ads keep popping up after pressing buttons every 3 times…it kills the app rating…

### 1/5 — Forced upgrade

*2025-08-31, version 1.5.3*

Ads every time I try to use it at about 30 second intervals.  Makes it impossible to just go to Netflix or YouTube and click a video. Just tried and was interrupted 4 TIMES while trying to open YouTube and search (all in a matter of 60 seconds… but I have to wait 15 seconds for the ad to finish and show and “x” to get out. DO NOT GET UNLESS YOU WANT TO UPGRADE. nothing is free.
