### 1/5 — Won’t find TV

*2020-10-29, version 1.6*

I just bought it 10-29-2020. It still doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Remote TV Control For Samsung

*2019-05-10, version 1.6*

One star for the look Ps.I have a Samsung TV I just tried this remote tv control app And it’s not working for my TV and the cost For The App Is 2.99.

### 1/5 — Waste of money.

*2019-02-03, version 1.6*

App does not work at all and it keeps saying go to your iPhone app and set it up even tho it is setup. Waste of freaking time. I want my money back

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

### 1/5 — Simply Doesn’t work

*2017-11-30, version 1.6*

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.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work won't connect with my Samsung smart tv

*2017-09-24, version 1.6*

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!

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work

*2017-09-23, version 1.6*

It simple does not work. Would love a refund...

### 2/5 — Won't turn on TV

*2017-06-03, version 1.6*

There is no On butting just off, so the remote is useless unless you already have the tv on. It also vibrates every time you touch a button with no menu/option to disable.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2016-08-28, version 1.5*

This thing absolutely does not do anything. Website is a Facebook page. I want my $2.99 back.

### 1/5 — Beware!  Does NOT work!

*2016-08-07, version 1.5*

I, too, want a refund.  Very disappointing.  I only purchased it because it had recently been updated.  I figured the bugs had been corrected. 

I think this is a scam!

### 1/5 — I want a refund or app replacement!!

*2016-07-12, version 1.5*

App doesn't work. Period. Will not connect with my new Samsung smart TV.  Says easy to setup and language makes it seem almost automatic.  No instructions.  

The Support option links to a bogus website- I think it may even be a spoof or a Trojan. I hope Apple looks into this app and forces Samsung to fix it.  

I wonder how Apple iTunes passed the app (?).
