Response from developer

Please enter the IP of your TV on the same network in the Settings. Then it works.

Simply Doesn’t work

All the other apps I have tried work. I thought this one would be better cause it costs money. I was wrong. It literally doesn’t even work. I want my money back.

Doesn't work won't connect with my Samsung smart tv

I wasted 2.99 on this. I was able to go on amazon and buy a generic remote for 5$ that required no codes...worked like magic unlike this 2.99 download. 👎. No stars for this app!
