### 2/5 — Not prime time

*2026-02-01*

Bought the software. It crashed, and now it won’t load and vendor says I don’t purchase it.

**Developer response:** Sorry about this — this doesn’t sound right.

I lost my remote to TWO/ three of my Sony 65” oleds. I use this app everyday all day, even for the tv that has the remote!! I love it!! It’s convenient, easy to use, and understand!! Awesome!!!!!!

*2025-06-21*

My kids broke my tv controller and I was devastated. Behold my wife showed me this App and in 5 seconds I had control of my TV again thank you.

**Developer response:** Glad we could help! Hope your TV time is back to normal 😊

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2025-06-10*

I haven’t had any issues with this app, it turns my tv ON AND OFF, which many other apps have failed to do (my tv is a bit older, 2017). This app does what it’s suppose to and has all the features on my remote plus a few extras. Yea, maybe the app could use a little bit of help with the layout, but for free, I have zero complaints. Thank you for making this app!

**Developer response:** Thank you! Glad it works well for your 2017 TV — we’ll keep improving the layout!
