But at least it works. Easy connection to TV unlike other apps. It doesn’t even require your original TV remote, which other apps require. Easily discovers TV on network, connects immediately, and functions seamlessly. The ads, however, are ridiculously excessive. Every few button pushes requires several seconds of ads. Very inconvenient. ### 3/5 — Controle remoto *2025-04-14* Muitas propagandas difícil fazer configuração porque toda hora para. **Developer response:** Olá! Obrigado por experimentar nosso aplicativo.

Obrigado! ### 1/5 — Robbery! *2025-04-12, version 1.5.1* Clicked a button and got dinged for a purchase! No option to un-do! Avoid this app and this vendor. ### 1/5 — STOP STOP NO WAY 5-STARS *2025-01-23, version 1.4.9* Nothing free about this except the download. Same review for: “CONTROLMEISTER”. DO NOT do this to yourself. Play in different traffic. $40ish A MONTH!!!! 5-STARS?!! Were no kindergarteners available to help them with their business plan?… Does anyone loose their remotes THAT BADLY??… AND NOT THEIR PHONE?? Pretty, pretty please—let’s watch them burn. This one’s a gimme. With sugar on top? ### 3/5 — It's amazing! 🤩,but needs an update. *2025-01-21, version 1.4.8* I love the app! When my remote is lost I just know what app to use, I recommend this to you!!! But creators of this app and please read, please update the on and off button, the app it’s useful to change your Chanel or what your watching, but the off button…. Is just an off button. It is be useless if you couldn’t find your remote cuz you can’t turn it on! So please change this to turn off AND on, but if there’s an issue or problem you guys faced on trying to do that, just say so I will understand. Although , but I do recommend it to pranksters 😉. Thanks! Btw I love this app and please download it! ### 1/5 — Loses signal *2025-01-19, version 1.4.8* Keeps randomly losing signal ### 1/5 — Not free *2025-01-19, version 1.4.8* You need to select a plan to use this app Not free ### 2/5 — Predatory First Impression *2024-11-30, version 1.4.7* Before letting me try the app at all it tries to enroll me in a WEEKLY subscription for “Pro” features. Only after opting out was I presented with annual and perpetual purchase terms. The only way past the enrollment screen is an intentionally understated X in the top right corner. Beyond that setup was easy and everything appears to work as advertised. In app advertising takes over the entire screen every fifth key press, which gets annoying fast, but if you just need to turn off your screen to get your kids attention it will do the trick. The aggressive advertising and deceptive onboarding process make this hard to recommend, but the presence of a perpetual purchase option and the easy connection process save it from a 1-star. ### 1/5 — Chris *2024-11-27, version 1.4.7* I downloaded because my original remote did not work. I was not made aware that if I turned off the tv with my app , I could only turn it on again with the original remote! So basically download this app is useless ### 4/5 — BEST TV REMOTE EVER!!! *2024-11-27, version 1.4.7* NO WAY THIS WORKS. EDITED: make there be less adds. Like make it be like if I press 20 or so buttons, one add pops up. ### 1/5 — Not free *2024-11-10, version 1.4.7* This app is only free for 3 days. ### 1/5 — Broken *2024-11-04, version 1.4.7* Keeps asking me to rate it inbetween button presses ### 1/5 — Is the app free *2024-10-21, version 1.4.7* The app is asking me to make payment before installation? ### 1/5 — Keeps buffering/loading *2024-10-18, version 1.4.7* Doesn’t work at all. Just is buffering/loading from launch ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-06-02, version 1.5.5* This app doesn’t work and I just upgraded to the $39.99 annual plan. ### 1/5 — Shows Porn Images *2026-02-07, version 1.5.5* Xxx ### 1/5 — just get the free trial then cancel *2026-01-02, version 1.5.5* This app is unusable with the amount of ads. For 7$ 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.

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. ### 1/5 — Fios hdmi does not work *2025-08-31, version 1.5.3* Many functions wok on my Samsung qled but control of hdmi connection to Fios set top does not work. Works from Samsungs physical remote. Cancelling app. ### 1/5 — Não funciona *2025-05-08* Toda vez que vai conectar na tv o app volta para tela inicial. Não sei se é um problema na versão que estou usando **Developer response:** Olá! Lamentamos saber que o aplicativo não está funcionando para você. É difícil identificar o problema sem mais detalhes, pois ele pode ter diversas origens, como configurações de rede, configurações do dispositivo ou preferências da TV.

Can you fix this? ### 5/5 — It’s free! *2024-07-01, version 1.4.5* This app is the only free one that’s works for my Samsung tv. Works better than the smart things app. Awesome!! ### 5/5 — Great!!! *2024-06-22, version 1.4.5* This ACTUALLY works on iPad and Mac. ### 5/5 — Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! *2024-05-13, version 1.4.4* My remote was malfunctioning so I downloaded several remote control apps to control the tv from my phone. They all required the original remote to pair/connect with the tv. Since the original remote wasn’t working, I was unable to accept the connection on the tv’s end. After countless attempts with the other apps, Controlmeister miraculously connected without the need to do anything on the tv’s end. Hallelujah! I was just about to give up. I think it’s crazy that modern tvs don’t have a control panel on the tv itself to control the tv without a remote. Until I figured this out, I was unplugging the tv just to turn it off! Ridiculous! Imagine if the outlet was very inconvenient to reach, like behind a massive entertainment center/tv stand! I later found out there is a secret button beneath the center of the tv that can perform limited functions like turning the tv on/off, volume up/down, and channel up/down. Pretty useless if you mainly use streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc. Also, why is it so well hidden? I felt like Nicolas Cage in freakin National Treasure! But even with that stupid button, none of the other apps would connect to the tv. I hate when the improved versions of tech lose useful original features… ### 5/5 — The best *2024-04-24, version 1.4.4* Awesome. Remote broke, have baby that loves her cocomelon and Mrs. Rachel. This was a life saver. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
