Remote button is also too small. Horizontal volume slider at bottom of screen is again, too close to edge of screen and difficult to use. A better user experience may be up & down arrows with indicator numbers so you can see how low the volume is. This would be helpful for adjusting volume when using the remote from another room, eg. when hubby falls asleep on the couch i can adjust the volume from another room. ### 1/5 — Never download this app *2020-10-11* It asks for Your location you should never put your location in the apps ### 3/5 — No tv *2020-09-25, version 4.01.003* I can’t find the tv and it’s on any view ### 5/5 — Recommend *2020-09-12, version 4.01.003* I recommend this who lost their remote ### 1/5 — Crached after ios : 13.6 *2020-07-27* Crashed aftar update ios 13.6 Fixed please ### 5/5 — Great alternative *2020-07-12, version 4.01.003* We broke a remote accidentally. And I found this, it is awesome it does everything that the remote does except turning the TV on I still give ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the development and the smart thinking ### 1/5 — Latest update is terrible *2020-07-05, version 4.01.003* Can’t access apps such as Netflix, Stan or YouTube? ### 5/5 — Perfect *2020-06-11, version 3.01.008* My TV remote control failed leaving me stuck on one of the HDMI inputs.

If I could, I would give this a -5 star review. ### 1/5 — Total crap *2022-12-19* Finds the tv on the network but WILL NOT connect. At all. The tv may be smart but the app developers are not. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-07-13, version 5.01.002* Totally pointless app unable to find tv on any networks, app has zero support and no way of contacting anyone for support for a clearly broken app…. ### 1/5 — Quit working *2022-06-23* Originally this app worked but after close to 3-4 months it stopped and now I cannot even turn on YouTube or Netflix if I choose to watch stuff ### 1/5 — Sharp TV *2022-03-26, version 5.01.002* Can’t find the tv, same room, same network! Don’t waste your time with this one. ### 1/5 — Ugh do not download *2021-06-30* So it will connect but it won’t play anything like go to Netflix and it will turn up the volume and upload pictures to my tv it was working perfectly fine and then suddenly nothing worked do not recommend ### 1/5 — Pointless *2021-03-12, version 4.01.003* Remote won’t work so I can’t access tv. Installed this app and it won’t work unless you can use the tv remote to download the app on your tv. Total waste of time. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-12-29, version 4.01.003* It’s not really working with my Hisense TV. It will connect to the TV fine but it won’t do any other function. I can’t select any apps other than freeviewplay and once on I cannot move the cursor across the menu or even switch the TV off. So it’s useless. ### 1/5 — MY TV REMOTE IS BROCKEN *2020-10-26* AND I CANNOT SWITCH IT ON. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Smart remote control tv Hisense *2023-12-12, version 5.01.002* Excellent work on iPhone excellent app ### 5/5 — Only app that works right away *2023-10-28, version 5.01.002* Downloaded a bunch of apps but this is the only one that worked right away with my Hisense smart tv.
