**Developer response:** That is awesome to hear, Vy0n!

Finding a remote app that doesn't bombard you with non-stop subscription pop-ups can feel like a rare find, so we're thrilled that our approach gives you a smooth, frustration-free experience. Control should be fast and simple.

### 1/5 — It worked one time and wouldn’t connect again

*2026-08-08, version 6.5.0*

Terrible app it would only connect one time and then I could never get it to connect again. It kept saying it was off and I would do everything the help center suggested and nothing. Extremely frustrating!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-07-15, version 6.3.0*

Do not waste your time or money.

### 1/5 — Supposedly free tv remote, instantly asked to pay and subscribe

*2026-07-10, version 6.3.0*

Yup, scam asked for money

### 1/5 — stopped working

*2026-06-25, version 6.0.0*

the app only connected to my tv one time and then refused to ever reconnect as it said my tv was turned off even though it was not.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2026-06-21, version 5.2.0*

I’ve been using this app since my tv remote stopped working out of nowhere. Now I can’t use this app. The most BS thing ever now I can’t watch my tv. Just super annoying and inconvenient.

### 1/5 — Do not get

*2026-06-20*

I got this app thinking it was going to be nice because my dog chewed up my remote right when I logged in it hit me with with the subscription and every time I tryed to do anything with it even if I was just trying to turn on the TV the volume it would hit me with a subscription, and that came with the free plan it also would give me an ad every like five minutes. There’s so many better ones out there don’t waste your time with this one.

**Developer response:** We appreciate your honest feedback about how overwhelming the subscription prompts felt. We are constantly working to balance our free plan ads with a smoother user experience, and your input helps us improve.

If you are still willing to give it a shot and need help bypassing the subscription screens to get to the free remote, please reach out to us at support@appsventure.co—we'd love to help you get it working!

### 5/5 — Top notch

Best remote app I ever used hands down.

### 5/5 — Beautiful (i'm not a bot)

*2026-08-22*

i just reviewed some other app with 600k+ reviews 1 star bevause it couldn't do anything. this app lets you use the basic controls: volume, on/off, and move up/down/left/right. that's all you need actually, to get from point A to point B! thank you app.😽

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the awesome review, p.python! 😸

You nailed it—sometimes you don't need a million bloated features, you just need a remote that actually connects and gets you from point A to point B without a headache. We're so glad our app could step up and give you the smooth, reliable controls you were looking for!

### 5/5 — Maybe the only remote app that has a free option?

*2026-08-22*

I appreciate the fact that they left in a free option (that actually works). All of these apps are gonna steal data off of your network, at least these guys gave us the liberty of not having to open our wallets in addition to the stolen information.

**Developer response:** We appreciate your honest feedback!

Providing a reliable free option is really important to us so everyone can control their TV without feeling forced to pay.
