Best, Florian ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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.

Download this garbage app and have a ball! **Developer response:** Hello, You have an option to remove ads if you need. Develop an application is not free… ### 1/5 — Обман *2024-06-08* Работало хорошо много месяцев, потом просит купить подписку не дешевую **Developer response:** Доброе утро, Приложение можно использовать бесплатно; вам не нужно оформлять подписку. ### 1/5 — Приложение туфта *2024-03-10* Приложение может и работает, только вот я как без пульта дам разрешение на подключение к вайфай не понятно! Приложение 0 **Developer response:** с помощью кнопок на задней панели телевизора... ### 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 ### 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! ### 2/5 — Не работает. *2024-03-14* Телевизор видит, но сообщает что не в одной сети вайфай. **Developer response:** Здравствуйте, спасибо за ваш отзыв. Пожалуйста, убедитесь, что ваш ТВ и ваш телефон подключены к одной Wi-Fi сети. Если проблема останется, наша служба поддержки готова помочь. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cam *2026-05-08* This is the best ever ### 5/5 — FL *2025-03-09* Go gg ### 5/5 — Best tv remote app *2024-12-10* If I loose my remote I have this **Developer response:** Thanks for this review ! ### 5/5 — Muito bom, funciona demais *2024-07-01* Incrível **Developer response:** Obrigado pela sua avaliação! ### 5/5 — супер *2024-04-14* спасибо наконец-то нашла хорошее приложение без рекламы **Developer response:** Спасибо за добрые слова!

There are no complaints regarding the features as advertised. However, I am curious about potential updates. It would be fantastic if future versions allowed for connections to multiple TVs. Additionally, integrating a universal search function that works across various apps like YouTube or Netflix would elevate this app from great to phenomenal! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted to hear you're enjoying the seamless experience. We appreciate your suggestions and will definitely consider them for future updates. Connecting to multiple TVs and adding a universal search function are great ideas that could truly enhance the app. Stay tuned for exciting upgrades! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
