I DONT HAVE A TV REMOTE ### 4/5 — Does not work all the time then it doesn’t work you got to uninstall the then reinstall the app *2026-06-18, version 17.7* Read Title ### 3/5 — A good app but not really. *2026-06-03, version 17.7* This app has some good qualities but almost every time I use it, it lets me press a button and disconnects the tv. It then makes me delete the app and redownload it and it’s very stressful. ### 3/5 — Straight up just doesn’t work recently *2026-05-22, version 17.7* All of a sudden over the past month this app doesn’t connect to my tv at all. It used to work perfectly but i can’t seem to get a connection now. ### 2/5 — No help *2026-05-16, version 17.7* When there is an issue or question - go to the “Help” tab - then you might as well forget it - you will never receive a reply or Help in any form ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2026-05-14, version 17.7* It’s just a advertisement trap. App rarely works and it will go into an advertisement once it detects you trying to use the app. The programmers should be ashamed of themselves ### 1/5 — Worst tv remote app *2026-04-26, version 17.7* 90% of the time will not work at all. When working only some controls work and they are very laggy. Don’t waste your time. ### 5/5 — Viz *2026-04-21, version 17.7* I love this Aapp ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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* Worse app ever this app you have to sign up a lot a things etc I hate it so very much ### 1/5 — Bad app *2026-08-02, version 17.7* Randomly disconnect so I can’t use it ### 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. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-06-24, version 17.7* I tried turning my volume down but It didn’t work and it kept saying Reconnecting over and over again ### 1/5 — Theres a tv remote interrupting my ads *2026-06-10, version 17.7* revenue farm ### 1/5 — Inaccessible *2026-06-01, version 17.7* Removed my access to use the app because I was on aka “adult websites”😭🙏🥷🥷🥷✌️✌️😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — 1 star *2026-05-24, version 17.7* Ads every 5 clicks ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yes … *2026-07-29, version 17.7* It works really well I love this app !!!💯💯💯💯 ### 5/5 — Daeshon *2026-07-26, version 17.7* Love it ### 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! ### 5/5 — I love this app🥹🥹✌️ *2026-07-02, version 17.7* This app is so easy to use and so useful in my opinion it works better than the regular vizio app at times . This app has never let me down a day in my life ### 5/5 — So easy to set up *2026-06-28, version 17.7* I lost my remote and all I had to do to set it up was turn the tv on and enter a code! Free and amazing as well as having great connection and spot on controls WOULD RECOMMEND!! ### 5/5 — The bestest !! *2026-06-21, version 17.7* I really enjoy this remote!! I can’t lie it really comes in hand !!! ### 5/5 — Better! *2026-05-22, version 17.7* Works much better than the “official” VIZIO app that insists that I set up a WalMart account before the app can be used…and even then it’s a toss up whether or not the remote control app will work. ### 5/5 — Plz read *2026-05-17, version 17.7* I love this app but I would make some changes •connection speed is to slow •if I open the app sometimes it will randomly turn on my tv •sometimes it won’t work *I rated this 5 stars so people would see this* ### 5/5 — N *2026-04-25, version 17.7* Me gusta esta app mucho gracias ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-04-25, version 17.7* Unlike some other apps. You don’t have to pay to use the whole app. I like that. AND IT SAVES YOUR TV DATA!? Top notch! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
