### 1/5 — $$$

*2026-08-18, version 1.8.2*

This app in NOT free. Who wants to pay 100$ a year for a remote?

### 5/5 — Handy Remote Replacement

*2026-08-17, version 1.8.2*

I like having more than just the basic remote controls in one app. The keyboard and touchpad are useful for navigating and searching, and I can also cast photos and videos from my phone. It’s convenient when I want to control the TV without keeping track of another remote.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-08-15, version 1.8.2*

Cannot connect to a Hisense tv.  Just doesn’t see it.  Also massively expensive at £9.99 per week

### 1/5 — Honest review

*2026-08-12, version 1.8.1*

If your tv doesn’t have an on switch or isn’t connected to wifi it won’t work I spent way too much to find that out after

### 1/5 — Surely 5* reviews are fake

*2026-08-12, version 1.8.1*

£520 per year for a TV remote. Who in their right mind would value this rubbish at anywhere near that price?

### 1/5 — Enganação

*2026-08-09*

Só funciona pagando

### 1/5 — Absolute scam

*2026-08-08, version 1.8.1*

There are numerous free WiFi remote apps available with way more functions than this app. Also has intentionally misleading verbiage so as to appear to function through means other than WiFi like true universal remotes that connect to tvs through infrared

### 1/5 — 9.99/WEEK

*2026-08-08, version 1.8.1*

Never seen such a high price for any app, much less one whose sole purpose is being a remote. You could purchase a whole new tv and get a new remote with it for the cost of this app.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-08-02, version 1.8.0*

Does not work and you can’t cancel

### 1/5 — Insane scam

*2026-08-01, version 1.8.0*

I don’t even know how this app got recommended to me on the App Store. 10$ a month for a remote? Come on. This should be removed.
