Easily not worth the premium purchase ### 1/5 — Cancelamento de assinatura *2025-12-24* Péssimo **Developer response:** Lamentamos ouvir isso. Vou passar seu feedback para a equipe responsável. Se precisar de ajuda com o cancelamento da assinatura, por favor, nos avise. ### 1/5 — Muy caro *2025-12-15, version 3.6.27* Muy mala aplicación ### 4/5 — Poor connection *2025-12-06, version 3.6.27* Have to restart the app each time to gain connection ### 1/5 — Purchased not happy! *2025-11-28, version 3.6.27* It worked originally that’s why I purchased it. Now, each time you switch to other app and come back to the remote, it doesn’t work. Need to close and reconnect. Do not recommend until they fix the issue. It’s annoying. ### 1/5 — Auto-update has broken it :( *2025-10-25, version 3.6.27* The app used to work well, but after a recent self-imposed update, it will no longer connect with my TV (on same WiFi network). It just times out when connecting. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — Arnaque? *2025-10-18, version 3.6.27* Présenté comme gratuit … on me demande pour payer pour un essai ### 1/5 — How did this get 5 stars? *2025-09-28, version 1.0* Just wouldn’t pair. Give up ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-09-09, version 3.5.8* Imagine opening the app to use it and pop out ads ### 1/5 — Insatisfeito *2025-08-31* vocêsÉfralde **Developer response:** Lamentamos a sua experiência.

Además no sincroniza bien con el móvil. Una de las peores características es que si el televisor se apagó con el mando a distancia físico, no te permite encenderla desde la aplicación móvil. Una vergüenza de aplicación para una compañía tan grande como Samsung... ### 1/5 — No sirve *2025-07-11, version 3.5.7* Ni siquiera me funcionó no me funcionó para nada ni siquiera pudo hacer la misma función que el control Por qué no Sirve fue como una estafa no se conectó y intenté muchas veces ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t pair AT ALL *2026-07-22, version 1.0.26* I HAVE TRIED FOR OVER AN HOUR TO PAIR THIS APP WITH MY SMARTTHINGS TV AND THE APP AND NOTHING WOULD PAIR ### 1/5 — Gianna41 *2026-07-17, version 3.6.27* Gianna 41 ### 1/5 — Used for years and never worked *2026-05-09, version 3.6.27* I’ve held on to hope for years. It never connects.

We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying our smart TV remote control app.. We appreciate your understanding and support." ### 5/5 — He *2023-10-21, version 3.5.2* Realmente es la única app que encontré que me ha servido ya que con el panel que tiene puedo moverme en todas las aplicaciones y escribir sin problema, las demás aplicaciones piden pagar. Y aparte después de guardar el televisor en el registro del celular, puede durar todo un día el televisor apagado pero cuando lo prendo es solo conectarse al mismo wifi y no se demora ni un minuto en reconocer el televisor. Me está desbarando resto por qué mi perro se me comió el control xd ### 5/5 — Beste App für die kostenlose Version *2023-07-14* Ich habe so viele App wie die hier benutzt und nix davon war so gut ich liebe es ### 5/5 — Ottima app *2023-02-20, version 3.5.2* Precisa e sempre Disponibile --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
