Glad I had to make a Walmart account just for it not to work. ### 1/5 — Choose wisely *2026-08-22, version 5.3.0* This remote no longer works for my 75 in Vizio tv anymore and this app was my go to when my remote dies ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — When you can’t find that dang remote or you’re too lazy to get off the bed and reach for it *2026-08-25, version 5.3.0* I have grown fond of this app; like today, I was laying on the bed and I had my puppy sleeping so comfortably, but the remote was like 5 feet away and it would require getting out of bed to grab it, but then I thought wait a minute. I have a Vizio TV and wait a minute I even have the app! Saved the day, saved my comfy puppy! ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2026-08-25, version 5.3.0* I love this!
