They work. ### 2/5 — It’s not working *2020-04-25, version 1.6* So I quite enjoy this because my remote isn’t working and it’s a somewhat east thing to use but anytime I try to pull up the app now it doesn’t want to open ### 3/5 — Paid for Ad Free, Got a New Phone and ads are back *2020-04-17, version 1.6* Hi. I paid for ad free with my last phone but got a new phone and have ads again. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. There was a minor glitch in the app which has been resolved. Please update the app to the latest version and we hope this will fix the issue. Please let us know if it still doesn't list your TV. Stay blessed and Happy. Regards, ### 2/5 — Not working anymore *2019-11-30, version 1.4* The app was good when it worked, but now it won’t find my tv. ### 2/5 — Good idea. I wished it wouldn’t crash so much. *2019-08-08, version 1.4* Good idea. Worked fine for a week, now rushes all the time. ### 4/5 — Good but ads *2019-07-29, version 1.4* Works ok but lots of ads ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-07-06, version 1.4* This does not work at all! ### 1/5 — Unusable with the spam *2019-07-01, version 1.4* This is so bad that I deleted it. Spam is so heavy it is unusable. Stay away. ### 1/5 — App with adds *2019-06-12, version 1.4* Worthless, every time you change channels a add pops up and won’t let you do anything else until the add times out...... Why? ### 1/5 — Nonfunctional *2019-05-28, version 1.4* Downloaded the app, typed the IP address in, found the tv, and then attempted to use the remote...no joy! Both iPhone and TV are on the same network. ### 1/5 — Does not work for Sony “Devices” *2019-05-20, version 1.4* This app does not recognize my Sony Blu-ray player. Even after logging the correct ip addy, the app says the ip “doesn’t seem to function.” I’ve been through all of the system and network settings, made sure the devices are all on the same network, and even did soft and hard resets. ¡Nada! The developer writes in every response that the app is “fully functional.” With Bravia tv’s, maybe. It does not function with other Sony devices; Blu-ray players in particular. The developer also writes how the app works with BRAVIA devices. Here’s the thing, the ONLY devices that are BRAVIA, are tv’s. Some new phones have BRAVIA video engines, but there do not exist any Sony non-tv devices that are BRAVIA. So Ms/Miss/Missus/Mister developer, I recommend you take another swing at this and make it work with all Sony devices, and stop telling customers that it works with all BRAVIA “devices.” **Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed feedback. We have tested our remote on Sony Bravia TVs and that is why we have the title of the app as "Remote for Sony TV- Bravia". We have not yet tested it on Sony Blu-ray. If there are no Sony non-tv devices that are BRAVIA then what's wrong in telling the customers that it works with all BRAVIA devices. :) We are continuously working on to improve our app and make it fully functional with other Sony Devices. We will let you know once we test and make it functional for Blu-Ray Player. Let us know how we can help you. Stay Blessed and Happy :) ### 1/5 — Does NOT work *2019-04-21, version 1.4* 3 times I initiated the app. NEVER worked ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2019-04-19, version 1.4* I cannot get this app to work with my new Sony TV. Also, I paid 6.99 for ad free and I still get the ads ### 2/5 — Please Add Keyboard *2019-04-14, version 1.4* Sad this app does not have Keyboard option for searching. Add voice search and then definitely 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste time *2019-04-13, version 1.4* Nothing but ads ### 1/5 — Advertising *2019-04-09, version 1.4* What’s with all the ads? I’m removing this app because of the pop up ads. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-03-21, version 1.4* Even with the IP Address it won’t work. ### 1/5 — Poor *2019-03-19, version 1.4* Very hard to use. Doesn’t work most of the time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does Not Work *2020-10-11, version 1.6* For whatever reason, this app always crashes on startup.....pretty useless. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with hardwired setup including appleTV *2020-05-16, version 1.6* Doesn’t work has to have wifi. that is not desirable for security reasons ### 1/5 — Remote does not work but ads do *2019-11-13, version 1.4* Nice to see that the developers priorities are in order. Nothing on the remote works even after adding a TV, but ads run every 10seconds. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work all the time *2019-11-05, version 1.4* It didn’t always work so I got a new app. ### 1/5 — Did not work *2019-10-29, version 1.4* I was not able to connect to this device. I was bombarded with ads when trying to connect. I was able to easily connect from my laptop but not from this app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. The app is fully functional and has been tested on various Sony Bravia TVs. Make sure your TV and iPhone are connected to the same Wifi network. If you still face any issue please feel free to contact us.

App Crashes *2020-06-01, version 1.6* I would have liked to test this on my new Bravia but it keeps crashing. It finds my tv on my network immediately. I select it to connect and an ad immediately pops up. I close the ad, the app starts to connect to TV but crashes. Every time. After 5 attempts i gave up. Oh well. By the way, I’m using an Apples XS with the latest software. ### 5/5 — ما عيبني أصلا I don’t like it *2019-07-14, version 1.4* ما عيبني أصلا I don’t like it ### 5/5 — Simply luv it *2019-03-11, version 1.4* The app is working perfectly fine on my Sony Bravia TV.
