### 1/5 — terrible, just like the rest of these apps

*2026-08-16, version 17.7*

Can't hold buttons down, so you cant skip ahead at a decent pace. You have to skip 10 secs at a time. None of the vizio remote apps, including the official one, have this function, which is pretty important for a remote. What a joke.

### 1/5 — Insane ad strategy

*2026-08-10, version 17.7*

Whoever designed the advertisement on this app deserves to be boiled alive. Potato peeled to ribbons. An app where you tap the screen can suddenly have full screen banners appear under your finger. 3 seconds in to the app being opened and a 20 second string of SLOPWARE ADS PLAY on behalf of the most inane and baffling goods or services. This is quite literally the worst app i’ve ever experienced. Literally ever. I commend whatever scheming weasel devised the way this app monetizes itself. Satan has been waiting for his right hand. I hope you join him swiftly.

### 1/5 — Adds

*2026-08-09, version 17.7*

Adds pop up and cat get rid of the have to close app and restart

### 1/5 — Worse app ever

*2026-08-07, version 17.7*

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2026-07-26, version 17.7*

### 3/5 — this sucks

*2026-07-10, version 17.7*

I read three stars because it’s bad

### 5/5 — Works PERFECTLY

*2026-07-07, version 17.7*

It’s has lots of remotes and it works SOOOOOO good but there is just a little  delay but not a lot to do anything!

### 1/5 — Dang

*2026-07-02, version 17.7*

Hard to use the remote for all the pop ups
I was concerned if my phone was safe or not.
