VIZIO TVs are Ugly

Seriously, the home screen is a complete mess. There is almost no customization, no clean interface, and no colors or themes. VIZIO OS looks like a microwaved can of SPAM, but at least the TV was cheap and has inputs.

Amazing!!

So easy to use!! And love the easy access on the phone! Our dog keeps eating our remotes and this app has saved us!

Does connect to my TV

It is probably I IPhone problem but since I got the 18 it has not connected to my TV and when it does it barely works with massive delay. Now it doesn’t connect at all. Had no problem for over 3 years of using this app
