I have uninstalled the app as well as turned my tv off and on and it will not connect now for the life of me. I’m upset because this app did save my life but since it has stopped working I feel like I’m now back to square one looking for a remote for my tv. ### 4/5 — Update!!!! *2019-09-26, version 1.0.3* Love the app it works perfect It just needs to update for full screen ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time! *2019-09-05, version 1.0.3* Do not download! Doesn’t work! Could not find any ‘tutorials’, or ‘help’ for this app online. Ended up buying an original Hisense remote. Universal remotes won’t work since Hisense remotes work on RF (radio frequency), most remotes are IF (infrared). ### 4/5 — Does the job *2019-07-28, version 1.0.3* Detected my tv instantly. Controls take bit of getting used to, but hey it works ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2019-07-13, version 1.0.3* This app works brilliantly with my 65” Hisense tv, The only thing it won’t do is turn the tv off, but I only use the app when the kids lose the remote ### 4/5 — Works great!!! *2019-07-02, version 1.0.3* Like the remote easy connection; however,I have to turn my tv off and bk on sometimes to get the remote reconnected. But there’s no setup required. Works tgrough your WiFi connection. This is good remote if you’ve lost the original remote to the tv. Lol. Just open the app turn your tv off and bk on. And it picks it up like Bluetooth. 🤩🤩🤩 ### 5/5 — Works great *2019-06-10, version 1.0.3* Lost my remote, this app works instantly with my hisense tv. Very happy with it! ### 5/5 — A lifesaver!! *2019-05-07, version 1.0.3* I have never written an app review but this one deserves it! I lost my remote 2 weeks ago and have been too lazy to program a universal, I’d give up and just go watch tv in another room. Well after being tired of not having my big living room tv working I tried just about ever remote app available then downloaded this one, and I am Impressed! It connected automatically and works like a dream! I’ve never been so happy to have found such a hidden gem! I give it 5 stars all day! ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-04-23, version 1.0.3* I have the Hisense 40H5B model and I cannot get the app to sync. Both the TV and my phone are on the same WIFI, but it does not recognize the device. I have the iphone8 that’s up to date. ## Frequently asked questions about V ### What does V-Remote do?
