Honest review

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

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. You are right about how the app works. To get started, your TV needs to be turned on and connected to Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, this initial setup requires a physical remote to enable Wi-Fi. If possible, we recommend borrowing a compatible remote just once to complete the setup. After that, you can continue using the app. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact us at support@kanatom.com or via App Settings > Contact. Best regards, Support Team

Surely 5* reviews are fake

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

Robbery

Seems convenient until you realize they’re trying to charge you $13/week for a remote control.

I hate this timeline.

I still need the remote to accept the app

Can’t use app because I still need my original remote to accept the app

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience! We understand this isn't the answer you were hoping for, and we're sorry for the inconvenience. To get started, permission should be granted to the app. Unfortunately, this can only be done using a physical remote during the initial setup. If possible, we recommend borrowing a compatible remote just for the setup process — once everything is configured, you can continue using the app as normal. If you have any further questions or run into any issues along the way, please don't hesitate to contact us at support@kanatom.com or via App Settings > Contact, and we'll be happy to assist. Looking forward to hearing from you! Best regards, Support Team

Said I can turn tv on- can’t

Waste of time

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for reaching out! We are truly sorry for the confusion and inconvenience this has caused. Unfortunately, the TV needs to be turned on first using a physical remote, as the app cannot power it on if it is completely off. Once the TV is on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your phone, the app should work properly. Please contact us at support@kanatom.com or via App Settings > Contact, and we will be happy to assist you further and explore possible solutions. Best regards, Support Team

Doesn't work for the reason I downloaded it

Perhaps I could have wasted my time and read better instead of believing the first App Store result, which has a very brief free trail period before monetization, would be bad. It took 30 seconds after turn-on for us to see it won't work. Thanks, China

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that the app didn’t work for your needs and for the frustration this situation has caused.

Please contact us at support@kanatom.com or via App Settings > Contact, share your TV model and what exactly didn’t work, and we will take a closer look at your case to better understand the issue and assist you. Looking forward to your email! Best regards, Support Team

Doesn’t work

It doesn’t let you use all features on the tv ! It sucks

Never worked

Can’t even cancel it!

Terrible

Didn’t even work for my tv and they wouldn’t let me get a refund, don’t even bother with the app

Don’t make the purchase

Terrible product charging you way more than it’s even reasonable. I did not catch the automatic charges until now. Do not buy this. It doesn’t work.

Don’t know what’s with the bad reviews.

Lost my Samsung tv remote and found this app, asked me for a 3 day free trial, which I cancelled straight after in subscriptions on my apple phone but obviously still had the app to use for 3 days till it expired, absolutely perfect worked straight away till I can find my remote tomorrow, absolute life saver, I fully recommend this app to anyone, it’s even worth the monthly subscription for the screen mirroring options, thanks for this app!

520? Might as well buy a new tv

App worked fine until new physical remote from online retailer arrived. Default plan after 3-day free trial is 9.99/week. Thats almost 520/year. I just got a new remote for $12. I could buy a new remote every 8.5 days and break even.
