Charge you when you haven’t made purchases and don’t even have a subscription button to unsubscribe. Just a rip off ! I would leave -0 stars if I could . VERY DISAPPOINTING ### 1/5 — Don't buy *2026-06-14, version 1.2.5* I went to Buy this app because my remote didn't work and it asked for me to pay.

I didn’t want it. *2026-05-07* It’s giving me access, I’m assuming as part of a three day trial I didn’t intend to accept. I’m not paying for using my phone as a remote. Now I have tried submitting this information through the app itself, and it’s telling me an error occurred. I have the screenshot for proof that I am trying to go about this the right way. **Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience. Kindly provide us with the screenshot through our support email so we can assist you further. [Customer Support] ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-04-30, version 1.2.3* Charged me 6.99 twice in one month and difficult to get in contact with anyone ### 1/5 — Don’t use *2026-04-28, version 1.2.3* Not worth it ### 1/5 — Lame *2026-04-11, version 1.2.3* Stupid you have to pay ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE *2026-04-09, version 1.2.3* I will be reporting this app and getting my money back and blocking this company from charging me. There is no way of using this app. It doesn’t work without a “free” trial and then you are charged $6.99 just for the remote to not work nor connect nor is there a way to contact or unsubscribe! This is a scam app! ### 1/5 — Made me pay *2026-04-06, version 1.2.2* It made me keep paying after I said no many times just ended up deleting it ### 1/5 — terrible *2026-04-06, version 1.2.2* I was trying to watch something even that it kept saying I had to pay for it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Where does it say that you need to pay for it? *2026-08-22* I got this app thinking it would be a good alternative for my remote until I get mine back. But instead I was surprised with a payment option when nowhere does it say you have to pay for it and I’m not paying nine dollars per week just use the app overall I I suggest if you want bombarded by unwanted checks do not get this app. Very disappointing and annoying experience. **Developer response:** We apologize for any confusion.

[Customer Support] ### 1/5 — 8.99/ WEEK *2026-08-14, version 1.2.5* It is insanely expensive to have this app on your phone. It is cheaper to buy another TV from a better brand than it is to have an app on your phone that controls your internet tv ### 1/5 — This sucks *2026-08-12, version 1.2.5* It made me pay for it made me so mad😡🤬😡🤬 ### 1/5 — Butt *2026-08-01, version 1.2.5* Need a subscription ### 1/5 — would not recommend it literally makes you pay for it *2026-07-26* makes you pay for it because it wants more downloads because it makes it the app free but it doesn't make to play yet free like I hate these types games but the end it gets one star would not recommend at all. Do not download this app and whoever gave it 4 to 5 stars what would you do that you have to pay to use the remote so I would not recommend **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about your experience. We'll pass your feedback along to the team for further review. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
