### 5/5 — Cam

*2026-05-08*

This is the best ever

### 2/5 — Не сохраняет авторизацию

*2025-08-22*

Как только отключается, начинает повторно требовать разрешения к подключению. Это не первое приложение, так что так быть с моим телевизором точно не должно

### 1/5 — Requires a selection button on physical TV.

*2025-04-14*

Downloaded this remote because my 3 year old lost my remote. When I went to connect the remote to TV over WiFi, it required me to have a remote to select accept on the TV. If you do not have a remote, it requires you to use the buttons on the actual tv. I don’t have buttons on my tv nor do I have a remote to accept the connection. 

Maybe create technology to have to enter your WiFi password to connect to the tv.

### 5/5 — FL

*2025-03-09*

Go gg

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2025-01-20*

Purchased this app a few months ago all worked fine but now started receiving adds. Didn’t expect that from a rather expensive tv remote.

### 5/5 — Best tv remote app

*2024-12-10*

If I loose my remote I have this

**Developer response:** Thanks  for this review !

### 1/5 — С какого это нет рекламы ? Бред пишите . Он ещё и за бабки .

*2024-11-27*

С какого это нет рекламы ? Бред пишите . Он ещё и за бабки .

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour. Nous avons dans cette nouvelle version retiré les publicités.

### 1/5 — Развод

*2024-11-14*

Ничего не работает

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте, если ваш телевизор не поддерживает интернет, мы не можем творить чудеса, извините, приложение просто не для вас...

### 2/5 — An ad every 10 clicks? Really?

*2024-11-03*

I would buy this app if I could do a 1 time purchase of like $5. But instead it’s a yearly or monthly subscription. For a TV remote. How does that make sense?

Navigating your TV is awful because every 10 clicks there’s a 5-10s ad that prevents you from using the app.

Would be an easy 5 star if it was reasonable with the price or Ads. But instead the developers are greedy

**Developer response:** Thank you for your constructive feedback Chad. We will consider offering a cheaper one-time purchase in the future!

### 3/5 — Too many ads!

*2024-07-18*

Too many ads. Can’t even turn the volume up without a ad popping up every 3 clicks.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review, 
We take it in consideration and we have reduced ads. 
You also have an option to remove ads.
Best regards
