### 5/5 — This has helped us sooooo many times . We lose the remote daily!

*2022-09-13*

This has helped us sooooo many times . We lose the remote daily! The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because I have to close out of app and reopen it when I have to change volume or change channels

### 1/5 — This app does not work at all

*2022-09-11, version 3.3*

I paid $20 for life time use, my tv is connected however the remote app does not communicate with the tv at all. This is not a universal remote as it is said so, do not use it. Not worth it.

### 1/5 — You have to spend $20 to use

*2022-06-09, version 3.3*

I downloaded the app, get into the app to get a purchase this app for 20. I exit to get a rate this app. Then say not now, since I haven’t even gotten in it yet!! Then get again the purchase, I say no then it lets me look for my tv. It says it found it and then asks me to rate that app!!! I say no and try to check if it has in fact found my tv and any button I touch says buy app and then the rate the app pop up again!! 

Well here’s my rating before I delete this app!!

### 1/5 — 0.1

*2022-04-11, version 3.3*

i downloaded it because my grandma couldn't find the remote so i decided to help her and i connected it to it and it was awful.I wouldn't recommend it. if any other reviews are saying it is good they are lying

### 1/5 — Intrusive

*2022-03-16, version 3.3*

I downloaded the app because it is one of the few universal remote apps that doesn’t collect data. Upon opening, you are spammed with the weekly subscription, access to my local network, and to give it a rating. Well, you wanted a rating so bad, here it is. NO ONE IS GOING TO PAY 3.99 A WEEK FOR A REMOTE!! At least give the use a second to try the app before flooding us with information. Especially to give it a rating. You pushed me away before I ever used it. I would pay a single time for a good application for such a trial/novelty. Never weekly. At that point your better off buying the physical device. Do not download this app.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2021-06-20, version 2.9*

I downloaded it. The app told me free three day trial, then subscription or lifetime membership. Ok whatever. I couldn’t use the app at all to see if I even wanted to bother. I would push a button then it would tell me I had to subscribe.

### 1/5 — Don’t download (-10 star)

*2021-06-10, version 2.9*

It’s free to download, but than you have to pay 3.99 a week after that, it does automatically work either.... mine kept searching and searching. Than when I tried to use the buttons on the remote it kept popping up the menu with subscription options.... all those 5 star reviews are bull. BUYERS BEWARE! Save your money and go buy an actual universal remote, wish I had!

### 5/5 — DO NOT BUY

*2021-04-23, version 2.9*

It only works if my tv is already on so it’s useless if I can’t find the remote which is why I got it to start with!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work without remote

*2020-11-19, version 2.9*

You need a remote to get to settings and set up the tv to work with this app. That was the point of paying $20 for this app, was because I didn’t have a remote. Hoping I can get a refund for this.

### 5/5 — Universal remote

*2020-11-09, version 2.9*

This remote is broken
