Get rid of the paywall for the power button and it would probably be a 5 star easy. ### 2/5 — Frequently looses connection *2026-08-22, version 1.22.4* My app looses my Sony TV at least once a week of fortnight. It then struggles to find the TV and it just stops (wheel of death). Sometimes it asks for a code and sometimes it doesn’t. However, it remember previous connections which are now redundant - don’t know why? Needs improvement. ### 3/5 — Pls fix remote *2026-08-18, version 1.22.3* It’s not working well on my tv ### 4/5 — Reseña *2026-08-16, version 1.22.2* Me gusto esta app porque no estafa no debes que pagara y también no hay anuncios gracias. ### 2/5 — Volume control *2026-08-13, version 1.22.2* Can’t get the volume button to work ### 4/5 — Very good *2026-08-13, version 1.22.2* It’s very good but to be able to turn it off or pick a app instead of searching it you must pay ### 4/5 — App *2026-08-13* Ótimo ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-08-12* Ótimo ### 5/5 — Best tv remote app *2026-08-12, version 1.22.2* No fees, apps, or bs.
