### 4/5 — Finally

*2023-09-17*

I have been searching remotes for my smart tv and finally this one actually works and I don’t have to pay a subscription to use it! I mostly needed it to move side to side and up and down so I haven’t tried all of the controls. But since I can actually use it, I’m impressed!

### 1/5 — Half works

*2023-08-16*

Sometimes it works but most times it doesn’t. Shut off your tv you have to re-add and then the app can’t find your tv. Spent 20 minutes trying to get this connected when yesterday it was fine. Just a gimmick to get you to buy other products

### 1/5 — If I could give this app zero stars, I would

*2023-08-04*

When I open up the app, it says scanning for devices on your Wi-Fi, but then it just says no devices found on your network, then I try tapping scan again, but it just says that the i need to remove the device from the black list even though i never even got the chance to try to allow or deny permission

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-02-08, version 1.2*

The app has you put in credit card to use.  Saying it is only for location purposes.  Then they subscribe you to a fee of 35$ a month.  When you try to cancel there is no easy way to do it.  I am glad my cc recognized the fraudulent charges.

### 1/5 — Steals your clipboard data

*2023-02-05, version 1.2*

Once Apple added the feature that requires you to allow or disallow an app to paste data it became evident this app is constantly trying to access your clipboard data. Super shady. BEWARE.

### 4/5 — Other app remotes are garbage

*2023-01-04, version 1.2*

This one has worked for me (it’s been over a year)

### 5/5 — Great free remote

*2022-12-02, version 1.2*

Looked at a lot of remotes. This one by far gets my recommendation

### 3/5 — Not working

*2022-11-27, version 1.2*

Worked very well 1st time, does not respond anymore and connected to the TV

### 1/5 — Poor reviews are correct!

*2022-10-21, version 1.2*

Needed a virtual replacement for my Samsung Remote. I researched remotes in App Store and decided this one would be my best choice by reading reviews. Decision makers, few ads, easy access, reliability etc. but, then there were also negative reviews to consider. Consider I did but ultimately downloaded the app. Reviews were correct. I never got past the set up. App would not recognize the IP address. Every negative review rhetoric came to light. After attempting to get this app to work for half hour I finally gave up.

### 1/5 — Never connected but showed lots of ads

*2022-10-04, version 1.2*

Couldn’t get it to connect to the my tv but it showed lots of ads and I had to watch them before attempting to connect.  Snot sure I want to watch ads before I can turn down the volume.
