BEST THING EVER (Well was)

Over time I've been using this, helpful but not really, the ads is why, I wanna do some clicks, AD, more clicks? AD! Thats the problem with this remote, remove ads or I find one that don't gives ads and free and no payment required, I would love to keep this but it would be sad to remove but I would find better one, now remove Ads please. 🥺

Ain’t no way people rate this 5 stars

There is no way this app has a 15/1 ratio of 5 star reviews to 1 star reviews, obviously bots.
No one in their right mind would think a universal remote that forces you to watch an ad every 8 clicks (yes it’s a consistent 8 clicks) shows you a 30 second ad, is a 5 star app. It’s incredibly frustrating, it asks you every once in a while “want us to stop bothering you?” Just to force you to pay 7.99 a month to use their remote like it’s sooo special. News flash, it’s not anymore special than any other universal remote. It’s so stupid I decided to write this review right before I uninstall it because there’s better apps. And to the developers, just be better!

Way to many ads and connection issues

There is way too many ads after like a couple of click you will get a ad and then after the ad you do like another few and there another and I can’t connect to my tv it shows up but it won’t connect it just loads for long time and then won’t connect there both on the same internet

The app is good, but…

I enjoy using the app because it is helpful when I forget where the remote is or something lol, but the problem is…the ads. There is just too many at a time. You go to use the remote, every few clicks you use, you get an ad. Then the ad ends and you use the remote again, after another few clicks, it’s another ad. I just think there is too many and maybe less at a time would be helpful!

Love it

Moved my room to another part of the house and lost my remote during the process. Downloaded the ad version while I looked for it and I never found it. I just ended up buying the ad free version after all. Now I have a universal remote anywhere I got. Worked out for me.
