No thanks ### 1/5 — Ads keep popping up *2019-12-15, version 5.1* Ads keep popping up when I try to use it, and the o Lt way to go back to the remote, is to click on the ad. ### 1/5 — Another piece of add filled garbage! *2019-11-22, version 5.0* This is another piece of add filled garbage being allowed on the App Store due to Tim Cook’s poor leadership. The App Store is a disgrace! ### 1/5 — Ad spam *2019-11-07, version 5.0* Terrible ### 1/5 — Does it actually work? *2019-11-01, version 5.0* The amount of ads is unbelievable, the ads take more time than connecting the app, it took forever and still. It working. I’ll try one more time later then deleting it. ### 1/5 — Too many ads, *2019-09-28, version 5.0* Every time you try to do something there’s always a hundred ads ### 1/5 — Junk *2019-07-08, version 4.2* Keep your remote between the ads loading faster than the keys working and the fact you now watch ads on tv and your phone?! Good luck ### 1/5 — Not good. Rarely accesses TV. Not reliable. *2019-06-27, version 3.2* Paid extra and still have problems. ### 1/5 — Well, I feel sheepish.... *2019-06-07, version 3.2* In retrospect, I really should have read the reviews BEFORE wasting the last 5 minutes of my life to discover this app does absolutely nothing. 🤦🏼‍♂️ ### 1/5 — This thing is click bait. Avoid at all cost. *2018-02-08, version 2.0* This is just a horrible click bait app that does pop ups in between faking functionality. ### 1/5 — Wish there was a 0 star *2018-01-15, version 2.0* It's just an advertisement app. with every click you get a lovely pop up add. Followed by a message saying it did work. Don't waste your time on this ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crap *2022-11-29, version 6.1.8* Doesn’t work. All it want you to do is down load a paid tv remote app. ### 1/5 — Do not download *2022-10-22, version 6.1.8* It’s an add app!! Only to make you buy another app from developer.
