Overall sentiment: negative **Pros** - 💎 Paloma mía - 💎 El tablas **Cons** - 🚫 Fee not optional - 🚫 Have to pay to use - 🚫 Whoever thought that making a remote a paid subscription was a good idea deserves to be eaten alive by dogs like game of thrones - 🚫 The app is impossible to use unless you agree to pay - 🚫 Wow you can't even use the app unless you pay. You can't hit the volume up or down without being sent to the subscription page. You really want 6.99 a week? If anything it should be a 1 & done thing, the app should just cost money to download. What a joke - 🚫 $6.99 a Week! Total Scam! - 🐛 Funcionó al principio pero luego dejó de conectarse - 🐛 Wont mirror to my tv. Just keeps saying format not supported - 🐛 Don't waste your time on the trial. Doesn't cast or mirror. Remote function & settings option at bottom of screen are the only 2 out of 5 that operate **Commonly reported bugs** - Funcionó al principio pero luego dejó de conectarse - Wont mirror to my tv.

So there is no need to pay an yearly fee for this application, which is still more than the cost of the remote itself if anyone ever wants to buy it. ### 1/5 — False free trial *2026-03-05, version 2.0.7* This application charged me $20 for a “Free 3 Day Trial” and it doesn’t work with my tv ### 1/5 — Couldn’t Make It Work *2026-02-09, version 2.0.7* Sadly, I just could not figure out how to make this app work. My television never showed up onscreen when I tried to set up the remote, and the “help” function was too complicated for me. I am asking for a refund of the $29.99 annual fee that paid in advance. No indication yet that the refund will be made. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-01-16, version 2.0.6* Does not work if u don’t have a remote available That a pain . ### 1/5 — Highly disappointed *2025-12-10, version 2.0.2* This app is another pointless universal remote. You can’t actually use it without buying a subscription which is pointless in itself. You might as well actually go to the store and make a one time purchase for a universal remote. This app is so stupid. ### 1/5 — False Advertising *2025-12-01, version 2.0.2* It’s says free, but is not, and is $8.99/week after three days. I bet they get a lot of people with these scammers. ### 1/5 — App is a scam. *2025-11-08, version 2.0.1* Do not buy this app it is a scam. nothing works for more than 24 hours.

Atp its false advertisement; since i got charged i need my money back NOW !!😡🤬😠😤 Hm: IF I COULD GIVE A ONE STAR I WOULD NGL AT ALL ### 1/5 — Hate it *2025-10-20, version 1.9.9* Don’t want it ### 1/5 — Fee not optional *2025-10-01, version 1.9.8* When this QR code pops up on my TV it should say subscription required. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-09-28, version 1.9.7* Have to pay to use ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — NFG *2026-08-26, version 2.1.6* You say you have a free remote.

Even though I purchased the lifetime plan. I’m forced to abandon my attempts and use a different remote control. On the rare instances the remote control does work, when I decide to change channels or volume or any function I find I’m not logged in again and have to try to reconnect, which then does not work.,If this is not resolved soon I will demand a refund for my purchase. ### 5/5 — Paloma mía *2025-09-07, version 1.9.6* Paloma mía ### 5/5 — Tablas *2025-07-07, version 1.8.6* El tablas ### 4/5 — Bom *2025-04-20* Falta listar dispositivos que já foram conectados, e o layout está muito vago, restam espaços sem preenchimentos **Developer response:** Thank you for your review!
