### 5/5 — Gut

*2023-11-08*

Ich bin zufrieden ;)

### 3/5 — Нет телевизора Супра

*2022-02-01*

Нет телевизора Супра

### 5/5 — Only working app out

*2021-12-09*

iPhones do not have IR blasters what do you expect. You can buy one online or even make your own and this app will make it work. Used it plenty of times just for the idea of using it but still glad it works

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-10-31*

Ad

### 1/5 — Non stop ads

*2019-12-19*

Trying to use the auto detect feature and you get a 5 second ad a second after the previous one so it’s impossible to use.

### 1/5 — Убожество

*2019-06-06*

Рекламу просто не закрыть. Сам функционал громкость, переключение каналов, вкл/выкл  для 450 мб (столько весит приложение) это просто издевательство

### 5/5 — Nice

*2019-04-06*

Топовое приложение, подходит почти ко всем телевизорам. Для тех кто говорит что не работает то вам нужно купить ИК порт

### 1/5 — Rubbish/spam

*2018-09-11, version 5.4*

Full of spam and wants you to buy some bs

### 1/5 — horrible

*2018-08-19*

horrible

### 1/5 — Не качать

*2018-05-04*

Реклама не даёт определить телевизор
