connected once smh

OK, so I connected my TV to the remote app and I updated my TV at the words it keep on telling me sorry I cannot connect to your TV try again later and it keeps on repeating so by this point even though I brought nothing but I did get the three day subscription. The three day subscription show me that I should not be paying for this remote. Becauseafter just that one session, I cannot connect to the TV no more and I am not paying $11 every month just to use the app on my phone to control my TV. I’d rather just go buy a remote for that much and have it forever… i wish i could rate this app a zero for the one time use bullsh.

scammed

wasn’t aware i had done a free 3 day trial before and when i lost my remote and got this app i saw a free trial it didn’t say anything about the “free trial has already been used” and instantly took money from my account very mad

Why you should not use this app!

You need to buy the subscription. Once you have bought it you can’t cancel and you will be charged reoccurring even if you ask for the subscription to be canceled.

Convenient

So convenient than ordering and waiting for a remote

Cost

Wow $780 AUD a year for a remote is very expensive. It’s a great product but not worth the $

Garbage scam

No free features. Forces you to pay

Trash

Trash

Meh

It’s great when it is connected but most of the time it makes me use the actual remote to connect to the TV. Downloaded it because I DONT HAVE THE ACTUAL REMOTE.

Subscriptions issues

It worked good but I had the free trial and then I canceled it but now it charging me even though I got the free trial and I canceled my subscription

Inconsistent

This worked really well in the first week or two and suddenly it couldn’t connect to my tv. It can now never seem to connect to my tv and I’ve subscribed for a year. This is a scam.

Making me pay in order for the app to work .

Worst remote app ever

This app sucks to the point where you can’t even turn the volume down on your tv with it, all you can do is select things, words can’t describe the disappointment I feel thinking about how many morons it took to make it.

Do not subscribe!!

Never connects to the TV. I subscribed on accident - you are charged $10 weekly. They refuse to work with you.. Poor customer service and poor product.

Was working now doesn’t

I have been using this remote for quite a while. There are times it won’t connect to my TV even though nothing has changed. I have my physical remote close by for such times. It's been three days now and it won't connect.

I have made sure my iPhone and TV are in sync. VERY frustrating.!

Waste of money

I literally downloaded it and it doesn’t even connect to my TV and TV remotes can do better than this app it’s just a waste of money so don’t do the free trial

Literally thought it was for free

I thought this was for free then I get spammed by pay this 3 day full use and it got so annoying

Did I read that right?

11.99 a week!? That’s insane. $50 a month for a remote app!? Please tell me I read something wrong

Doesn’t work

Connects then you press one button and then it disconnects and doesn’t let you connect again says all bugs and stuff is fixed but clearly not should give me a refund

Charged before the 3rd day was up?

Charged my credit card before the 3rd day was over. Claimed to connect and work on any TV or device that’s not true it wouldn’t work on any device although there was internet connection. They’re falsely advertising to be able to connect to any TV with or without internet which isn’t TRUE it’s a complete click bait and over rated I wish I had read all of the reviews but I will not be purchasing the app. Thanks for nothing Darcy L.
