Easily five stars!

This app is super convenient and makes controlling my TV a breeze. It connects fast and works flawlessly. The layout is clean and simple to navigate, and the touch controls feel smooth and natural. I’ve used a few other remote apps before, and honestly they were disappointing. Setup here is quicker, the controls are more dependable, and it’s worked with every TV I’ve tried so far.

I need to pay a subscription for this?

So, TV corporations have decided that there is absolutely no way to put buttons directly on their TV. I’m just supposed to believe that, but whatever. Anyway, I lost the tiny remote and figured, oh hey, here’s a crummy remote app that’ll help me. I got most of the way through to connecting when it tells me to “start your free trial.” Free trial for what, turning on my TV and adjusting the volume? This might sound crazy to hear in 2026, but that kind of basic fundamental thing used to be, oh I don’t know, included with the purchase of your TV. Anyway, I’m not giving Vizio more money. They make enough off shoving ads in our faces while we try to relax in our living spaces. I think you know where I’d tell you to shove the remote if only I could find the thing.

doesn’t work

glad it has a free trial, because it wouldn’t connect to my TV! cancelled immediately

NOT FREE!?!?

I can buy a universal remote for less. Corporate greed is so pathetic and treats us like idiots. I know math so I’m not wasting my money!

It really works!

I couldn’t find my remote, so I downloaded this app to control my TV. It worked great and was super easy to use. Definitely recommend it! :)
