## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Stupid ads

*2024-06-18*

Every 3 clicks i get a premium ad?!?! like if i wanted premium i would get it. i would NOT reccomend this app at all your better off buying a new remote

### 1/5 — literally doesnt work

*2024-03-28*

subbjet explainsi it all

### 1/5 — constant upgrade nags

*2024-02-21*

Every 3 clicks, it asks you to upgrade to premium for a whopping $3.99 a week. Absurd.  Found a free version that works better than this thankfully.  I would have paid 4 bucks one time or a couple bucks a month to use but weekly? Out of your mind.

### 1/5 — Too many nags to upgrade

*2023-11-02*

If it wouldn't ask me ot upgrade to premium every 3 clicks, I'd be interested in paying.  That's just obnoxious.

### 1/5 — Don’t use this app!

*2023-07-21, version 1.17*

Terrible app.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2023-07-16, version 1.17*

App kept freezing wouldn’t launch right and it was a complete waste of time

### 1/5 — Zero they steal money

*2023-07-06*

Scam app!!

### 1/5 — Got ripped off

*2020-07-13*

Only 3 bucks but still... it scans and says it found 1 device but doesn’t show anything on the list. Useless

### 2/5 — Unnecessary subscription

*2023-08-25, version 1.17*

It works, unlike some other apps, but it's all down hill from there. It prompts you to sign up for their premium subscription every three clicks. I have no objection to subscriptions when there is an ongoing cost to developers. But this app does not, as far as I can see, have any backend server costs or API costs that would need to be paid for. This should be a one-time purchase app. Even at a push, I'd pay up to £5 a year, not the £3.99 a week they are looking for (equivalent to £207.48 per year).

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2023-07-06*

Even though it asks for you to upgrade basically every 3 clicks, this was the perfect solution for me because god knows where my roku remote has run off to. This is the third app I tried and the only one that worked!
