Wanna bet that won’t be easy? ### 2/5 — Works, but too many ads *2021-10-26, version 1.2* It works fine, however the ads every 2-3 button taps is WAY TOO MUCH. dial back the ads ### 1/5 — Less than a star *2021-10-20, version 1.2* There should be a rating of less than a star this app simply doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2021-09-25, version 1.2* Said it was connected but didn’t control anything and had an ad every three button presses ### 1/5 — Horrible *2021-08-05, version 1.2* Horrible to many adds ### 1/5 — Connects but doesn’t control *2021-07-24, version 1.2* It connected to but didn’t control my tv. ### 2/5 — Too many adds *2021-06-19, version 1.2* Can’t increase volume too many adds pop up ### 1/5 — Meh *2021-06-17, version 1.2* Doesn’t work on my tv. Tv shows up and connects, but buttons don’t respond. Get an ad every other key press. Can’t be bothered to diagnose when I get ads so often.
