And zero commercials!

I have the Roku with the hdmi cable. ### 1/5 — Will not connect *2026-01-25* No matter how much I fuss and troubleshoot your app will not connect to my HiSense Fire TV. It sees my Roku device just fine but that’s not what I need. Tried all your fixes and giving up. Putting your app in the failure pile which is unfortunate as it’s one of the few to not be obnoxious bait and switch pay to play types. **Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact our support team at support@electronic.us and let us know your TV model. We’ll be happy to investigate the issue and assist you further. ### 1/5 — Wildweasel *2026-01-25* In order to setup the app you must select allow; however, on Samsung TVs there is no way to press the allow message on the TV. The central button on the physical bottom of the TV only allows for power (on/off), channel and volume controls, and source. There is no method to select “allow” without a remote. And my keyboard is wireless, so that does not work either. **Developer response:** “The central button on the physical bottom of the TV” is most likely not just a button but a joystick. You can move it up/down/left/right to navigate to the “Allow” button on the TV, then press the joystick. In this case, instead of turning the TV on or off, it will activate the “Allow” selection. If the problem persists, please get in touch with our support team at support@electronic.us and let us know the model of your TV. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best free remote app on the market *2026-09-01, version 1.8* Best remote on the marketplace.
