Long delay and every other click is the pop-up screen for their premium version. Please save yourself a headache and download something else (Viz if you have Vizio) instead. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2024-07-24* Automatically wants you to purchase ### 1/5 — Unable to cancel *2024-07-15, version 1.0.6* Unable to cancel ### 1/5 — Scam!! *2024-06-24* You’re tv has to be connected already to WiFi I literally don’t . First screen you click continue and it steals $50 from you!! Does not change input SCAM ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-06-22, version 1.0.6* This App is terrible and a scam. It does not work. What a waste!

Smartcast is for LG and android tv OS! Guessing something changed between 2018 and 2024. No comment on APP not for Vizio. Just hope it helps someone else! ### 1/5 — Worst bad *2024-05-07, version 1.0.6* This app was waste of time it cost me $20 not worth my time ### 1/5 — Poor connectivity with this app *2024-04-27, version 1.0.6* Tried to utilize the “Smartcast” as a remote for Vizio television.
