Doesn’t connect to fire tvs, doesn’t show iplayer or itv in the list of Samsung apps, and they’re not in the table to add them manually. Waste of time, but it does connect to a tv. Wow. ### 4/5 — Works great so far *2026-04-23, version 2604.3* Controlling an LG smart TV, 2022 model I think and it works well ### 5/5 — Amazing App responsive developer *2026-03-27, version 2603.02* There are lots of apps that look like this on the App Store, but this one works extremely well and, perhaps more importantly, the developer is very responsive to questions suggestions and other things. well worth the cost! ### 5/5 — Sehr gute App, mit einem potenziellen Makel bei LG *2026-03-24* Grundsätzlivh funktioniert die App super, auch wenn ich mir eine Favoriting für die Apps wünschen würde. Ein Problem habe ich bemerkt, das könnte aber genauso gut ein Youtube Problem sein: Wenn ich die Suche in der Youtube App nutzen will, erkennt er nicht, dass ich in einem Textfeld bin. Dadurch kann ich die Tastatur nicht nutzen wo es für meine Zwecke am meisten Sinn ergeben würde. Leider konnte ich das auch nicht vor dem Kauf testen. Trotzdem ein guter Kauf. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-02-06, version 2026.4* Works really well ### 5/5 — Does what I need *2026-02-05, version 2026.4* Easy, quick & efficient. 5 stars! ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ +++ as always! *2026-02-05, version 2026.4* I’ve used both of Evgeny’s apps—Remote for Mac and TV Remote—for years, and I couldn’t be happier. Anytime I’ve had a question or needed help troubleshooting, whether it was connecting to a very old Mac with outdated software or navigating a VPN setup, Evgeny has always responded quickly with a clear solution. I downloaded both apps around the time they were first released, so I’ve seen firsthand the time, care, and dedication he puts into making them successful. He’s consistently open to suggestions and feedback, and he often incorporates them into updates. It’s obvious how much effort he invests to ensure everything runs smoothly and stays compatible with new iOS releases. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-06-26, version 2606.4* Keeps spinning and thinking and I cant stop it. MACBOOK ### 1/5 — LG TVs are invisible *2026-06-25, version 2606.4* Big claims but couldn’t deliver. Charged for simply downloading app, then hit with subscription to use the app. It’s useless without the subscription. Useless with LG TVs ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-06-12, version 2606.2* Nothing works ### 1/5 — What Did You Do? *2026-03-26, version 2603.01* Ever since your latest update, this app doesn’t work - except to shut off my LG tv. I can’t change channels, the volume or even mute it. What did you do?????!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Not Free *2026-03-08, version 2026.6* Installed and then once ready to use pushed for purchase, waste of time ### 1/5 — You can’t even touch A THING without paying $10 in advance. *2026-02-13, version 2026.4* Enough said. You have to pay $10 in advance without knowing if this stuff can control anything. And app tries to trick you to pay money. Avoid this app. ### 1/5 — Не работает *2026-02-07* Приложением не возможно пользоваться бесплатно, не уходит заставка, настойчиво просит купить премиум за 600р в год. Ее красная цена 199р на пожизненно… удаляю ### 1/5 — No good *2026-02-01, version 2026.3* No good ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-01-29, version 2026.2* Rip off charges a payment and doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Péssimo *2026-01-19* Atualizaram e agora só pagando ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very cool *2026-08-24* Настоящее ### 5/5 — Just what I needed! *2026-08-14, version 2608.2* I was looking for an app to control my LG TV ### 5/5 — René Hernández *2026-07-31, version 2607.3* 75” QLED ### 5/5 — Five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-07-12* I love this app, but we don’t have any of that. We need a new option of iPad iPhone, and every device device that Apple has and every device every oh no use this except Phone gets and they need all of the phones added to this app now added to the app that you have. ### 5/5 — Best remote *2026-06-29* Works with every tv ### 5/5 — Very Useful *2026-06-28, version 2606.4* Very Useful , Very easy and brilliant Developer. ### 5/5 — Jetzt nahezu perfekt *2026-06-15* Mein Apple TV4k konnte die Lautstärke meines Samsung TV über HDMI CEC nicht ansteuern. Samsung hat das Interface einfach schlecht integriert. Nach Rücksprache mit dem Entwickler wurde in dieser Version das Feature zum Steuern der Lautstärke direkt am TV, durch die Buttons des Apple TV, integriert. Jetzt ist das die top FB für mein Setup 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Top *2026-06-12* Top ### 5/5 — 🔥🔥 *2026-06-03* J’aime bien ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ +++ as always! *2026-05-31, version 2605.5* I’ve used both of Evgeny’s apps—Remote for Mac and TV Remote—for years, and I couldn’t be happier. Anytime I’ve had a question or needed help troubleshooting, whether it was connecting to a very old Mac with outdated software or navigating a VPN setup, Evgeny has always responded quickly with a clear solution.

It’s obvious how much effort he invests to ensure everything runs smoothly and stays compatible with new iOS releases. I highly recommend this app, you won’t be disappointed. ***UPDATE: 5/31/26*** This app has only gotten better since the last time I left a review. HOW OFTEN DOES THAT HAPPEN?!? I sent Evgeny an email requesting to have the sync/menu button added and not only did he do that, there’s also the option to customize and add whatever controls to your remote - including app shortcuts - that your heart desires! 😊 I use this app ALL of the time. It works GREAT!! No connection issues whatsoever - actually, I have 2 tv’s connected to the app. I have used this app while in the basement to turn off the upstairs tv when my son falls asleep or needs to get his butt moving haha the first time I used it to turn off the tv, he thought there was a ghost or something 😂 it was great. So if anything - you could just download the app to play tricks on other family members, or friends when they drop by - It’s quite entertaining. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
