That’s totally absurd! Put down the crack pipe! ### 3/5 — MONEY *2020-08-10, version 1.2.2* The reason I got this was bc I lose my remote a lot and bc it was free but what it doesn’t tell you is that there are constant ads and you have to pay for all of the useful stuff and it lags very very bad lots of problems but I still use bc it’s the best I can find. ### 2/5 — Crap *2020-07-01, version 1.2.2* Have to pay premium to cast, and the remote is very laggy on the FireStick. ### 1/5 — Scam Remote App is Scam *2020-06-14, version 1.2.2* A subscription for a remote app it attempts to force. It shows my fire tv in connections even though I have it off and unplugged? Not possible. Scam of an App. ### 5/5 — А *2020-05-28, version 1.2.2* I use it to practice percussion to YouTube videos. It's very helpful to see the conductor on a big scree rather than my iPhone. I'm very happy with the app. ### 5/5 — jone travel *2020-05-28, version 1.2.2* It works very well! ### 5/5 — Hi *2020-05-27, version 1.2.2* This app does an incredibly comfortable job. ### 5/5 — ))) *2020-05-27, version 1.2.2* I really need it all the day ### 5/5 — Отзыв *2020-05-27, version 1.2.2* I always rate 5 stars for this app when I have a chance ### 5/5 — Olya *2020-05-27, version 1.2.2* What a design ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of money it’s rubbish *2021-11-07, version 1.2.4* I’ve got 1 word for this RUBBISH Because I’ve got to pay like 14 quid after 3 days this app is rubbish never getting it again! ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2021-06-05, version 1.2.4* You can’t even test the app without subscribing monthly so don’t even bother. ### 1/5 — Not working. *2020-11-15, version 1.2.4* This isn’t working at all. ### 1/5 — Subscription *2020-10-17, version 1.2.4* Updated recently to require a subscription to use. Hard pass. Amazon has an official app now that’s not as buggy as this app. Why would anyone subscribe weekly/monthly/annually to something like this... ### 1/5 — I HATE THIS APP *2020-10-06, version 1.2.2* I wanted this app CAUSE I LOST MY REMOTE 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-10-01, version 1.2.2* Not good. It has double charged me twice in the same day. I will be getting this off my account; didn’t authorize & now remote not even working. A waste of my time & money. ### 1/5 — Complete robbery *2020-09-19, version 1.2.2* I was not expecting a $5 recurring charge THAT LOOKS LIKE EVERY WEEK. FFS. ### 1/5 — Remote *2020-09-13, version 1.2.2* It doesn’t work at all to my tv and it’s connected ### 1/5 — Lost remote *2020-07-14, version 1.2.2* I got this app because we lost our remote. But one of the basic steps to use use this app is to go to settings how can I do that without the remote? If I had my remote to go to settings I would not need this app would I now? ### 1/5 — Cody *2020-06-15, version 1.2.2* How in the world am I supposed to go to settings and whatever else if the reason that I need the app is because my remote broke. Not well thought out guys. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Superior *2020-09-24, version 1.2.2* Other fire sticks are frowned upon based on the simple fact that premium features made available by subscription only. Only idiots and broke people use the featureless free versions. At the same time don’t force me to agree with your nasty reoccurring fee designed by Greedy Guys with bad breath. No thankyou. One time fee for life was the main deciding factor in why I chose this remote. It’s what makes this remote superior. Fill? ### 5/5 — Yr *2020-06-02, version 1.2.2* I always lose my remote... In comes Smart Remote and problem solved. Will not lose my phone) ### 5/5 — nddj *2020-06-01, version 1.2.2* It works very well! ### 5/5 — Ими *2020-06-01, version 1.2.2* Очень хорошо! ### 5/5 — mak32317 *2020-06-01, version 1.2.2* It is easy to use and it has a great feataures in my phone in iphone ti works very good and easy ### 5/5 — Review of app *2020-06-01, version 1.2.2* Thanks for keyboard! Helps when I need to type something in browser! ### 5/5 — Let’s *2020-05-31, version 1.2.2* Works very quick! ### 5/5 — Sssasddst *2020-05-29, version 1.2.2* The app requires swiping and scrubbing on the free space. I hope it stays free forever! Dont need to buy batteries anymore!😍 ### 5/5 — Good *2020-05-29, version 1.2.2* Installed on my IPhone 8 Plus from Verizon, installed easy, had to unplug and plug in my fire stick. Other than that.
