Response from developer

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

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.

Doesn’t work to expensive

Doesn’t work for new or old and too expensive.

Rubbish app

The volume button just glitches out you want to use it to turn it up and it doesn’t stop to turn it up it just goes up and up and up the same goes with turning it down. Glad it was only a free trial rubbish app

Eh

Never used one and couldn’t find it so thought we would do this last minute… you have to be able to turn the tv on and somehow accept you’re connecting it without a remote. Not worth it to me. Good thing there was a trial.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience and frustration this situation has caused. Please note that the TV needs to be connected to Wi-Fi and, for some models, requires initial confirmation using a manual remote to allow the connection, as the app cannot establish it otherwise. Please contact us at support@kanatom.com or via App Settings > Contact, and we’ll be happy to guide you through the setup. Best regards, Support Team

Cost money and didn’t find my tv

It’s way too expensive and you only get a 3 day trial and it didn’t even find my tv

No subscription cancellation

Excuse me but how on earth am I supposed to cancel the subscription? I am not going to be paying £9.99 a WEEK for this. It’s insane. And there’s nothing in the settings to allow me to do this.
