Functions

Can only use some functions the app doesn’t show you how to use the rest of the functions other than that a good remote

Sort of works

It disconnects from my tv every other day. I have a toddler who hides the remote so unfortunately when it disconnects, I have to find the remote before I can use this remote app (the tv has to be on for 30 seconds or more to reconnect). It kind of defeats the purpose when the tv has to be on already in order to use it. Sad that I spent $10 on an app that only works for me sometimes.

Great except for one thing

For $10 lifetime I should be able to turn my TV back on with this app. I can PowerOff, but can’t figure out how to turn tv on through the app. Maybe I’m missing something. Work around is to use Roku remote to power on tv and go from there. Or actually go to the tv and turn it on directly like people did in the olden days.

I will say this app found my tv right away. The previous app I used stopped working properly recently, couldn’t find my tv anymore for anything even though it listed it under devices. I dunno…

Volume and Channel controls work great, as does Imput, which is important.
I watch over the air antenna channels (or stream via Roku), and the original tv remote went wonky ages ago. I was glad to find this app as a working replacement. I also admire the simplicity of the design. So even though there’s the one thing it doesn’t do (or that I’m not able to figure out), I’m still giving it 5 stars.

Works great… for a few days

From the description, assumed this had pop up ads only. Ok, fine, I might work with that minor inconvenience. But after a couple of days, any buttons you tap bring up a full screen ad. And that’s it. Want the ad gone? Pay. So… big nope from me.

Charged when 3 days was supposed to be free

The starting page clearly said that 3 days are free, and then the subscription is $3 per week. The price was exorbitant, but I needed a remote urgently so I signed up for the free trial. My credit card was charged when I signed up for the free trial.

$3 is not much but I didn’t like being cheated. I’m giving 2 starts because the app works well
