I’m using the app with a Fire TV and noticed a consistent issue: • The touchpad “tap” works correctly as a select/OK input • However, the center button on the directional pad does not register at all My physical Fire TV remote works normally, so this seems specific to the app’s D-pad center button mapping. It appears the touch input is sending a valid select command, but the D-pad center button may not be mapped correctly for Fire TV. Would love to see this fixed — otherwise the app works great! Will add stars to my review upon fix! :-) **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for pointing out the issue, This bug has been fixed in the latest update. Feel free to contact us if you have any further issue, Regards ### 5/5 — TV Remote Anywhere *2026-02-16, version 10.4* Replace lost or faulty remotes and control your TV with smooth directional and app navigation.. ### 5/5 — All-in-One TV Remote *2026-02-14* Control power, volume; channels, and apps on any smart TV quickly using your iPhone.. ### 5/5 — One Remote for All TVs *2026-02-13, version 10.4* Manage multiple smart TV brands from one simple and reliable iPhone application.. ### 5/5 — Universal Control Made Easy *2026-02-13, version 10.4* Seamless WiFi connection allows quick setup and smooth navigation without pairing codes.. ### 5/5 — One Touch Smart Control *2026-02-12, version 10.4* Fast WiFi setup lets you manage TV functions smoothly without physical remotes.. ### 5/5 — Smart TV Remote Control *2026-02-11, version 10.4* Control power, volume; channels and apps on any cọmpatible smart TV using your iPhone.. ### 5/5 — Quick Connect TV Remote *2026-02-10, version 10.4* Automatic TV detection lets you start controlling your television in seconds effortlessly.. ### 5/5 — One App TV Access *2026-02-08, version 10.4* Manage all your televisions easily without physical remotes or cọmplicated pairing steps.. ### 5/5 — Smart Living TV Control *2026-02-08, version 10.4* Enjoy effortless TV navigation with quick WiFi setup and smooth responsive interface.. ### 5/5 — Universal TV Cọmmander *2026-02-08, version 10.4* Control channels, volume, apps and inputs on any smart TV directly from your iPhone.. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ruim *2026-07-23* Tem mais anúncio do que o próprio aplicativo **Developer response:** Obrigado pelo seu feedback.
