So many ads!

What is the point of even using this app if you’re trying to click a button and an ad pops up and it sends you to one of those bs scam apps. Absolutely abhorrent that you can’t even find a simple remote app that isn’t riddled with ads.

Advertisements kill it

Is there an option to go add free? Every time I’m using an important function, it gets stuck on advertisements, and I miss my shows.

Works good

This is a very good remote for my Sony Bravia. Works on my iPad Pro and my iPhone 15

Works great mostly

Comes in very handy when the actual remote is misplaced.
Only issue is that the Keyboard mode does not work even though the keyboard on screen is activated and awaiting input.
Maybe it's because I'm using a mesh router, but don't know 🤷‍♂️

Perfect remote for Sony TVs

Remote buttons are nice and huge on tablet.
