### 1/5 — READ BEFORE YOU GET THE GAME!!!!

*2026-08-16*

So when you first get it, I was trying to connect to my real TV. It wouldn’t let me so then I put my iPad right there beside the TV connection thing and it did not work. so do not get it thank you for reading and when you click on what you want, it makes you have to pay so then I deleted it. Thank you for reading bye.

**Developer response:** Sorry about this - it sounds like the app said your TV was connected and asked you to subscribe before the remote actually worked. That's a bug on our side and we're fixing it.

One thing that may help meanwhile: the app works over Wi-Fi, not by pointing the iPad at the TV - both just need to be on the same network, and with some TVs you also have to enter the code shown on the TV screen. Email us at info@zentera.io with your TV brand and we'll get it sorted.

The app keeps the TV you picked, even if another device takes its place on the network. Android TVs are correctly named when addresses change. Improved session management gives smoother recovery after restarts, and mirroring is more stable across all brands.

On LG, VIDAA, Android TV, and Vizio models, the mute button always matches the real sound state.

Android TV remote pairing reliability has been improved, with better support for a wider range of devices.
