Reinstall

Constantly have to reinstall to make it work

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry for the inconvenience. Having to reinstall the app repeatedly is certainly not the experience we want for our users. This may be related to a device compatibility issue, app data corruption, or a connection problem. Please make sure you're using the latest version of the app. If the issue continues, we'd appreciate it if you could contact our support team with your device model and OS version so we can investigate further. Thank you for helping us improve the app.

Useless

You can’t give permission to connect phone without tv remote

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concern. Some TVs require initial authorization using the physical TV remote before allowing a mobile device to connect. This is a security feature implemented by the TV manufacturer and may not be controlled by the app itself. We appreciate your feedback and will continue looking for ways to improve the connection experience where possible.

Didn’t work

Don’t know what happened but the app didn’t work.
It kind of found the TV, but still didn’t link & work properly.
Tried another app which worked with minimal input.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear about your experience. It sounds like the app was able to discover your TV but encountered an issue during the connection process. Connection behavior can vary depending on the TV model, network configuration, and device permissions. We’re continuously working to improve compatibility and connection reliability. If possible, please share your TV model and device details with our support team so we can investigate the issue further. Thank you for giving the app a try.

amazing!!

So, I just happened to start trying to find a free tv remote app and this one has no pop ups, no ads and it’s free! install it now! (Real person review on 12th may 2026)

Really, really good.

It works and is free

Amazing App

This app works well with a number of TV’s, have tested on TV’s of different brands and it connected to all of them with no issues. There is a permanent ad at the bottom of screen but it’s minor, considering this app is free, yes no subscription or a fee to remove the ad. It is definitely worth trying out

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear the app works well across different TV brands and that the connection experience has been smooth for you. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the ad display and are happy the free experience meets your expectations. Your support and recommendation mean a lot to us!

Free & works

Set up is a little weird you have to goto your tv Wi-Fi settings mine info was under WiFi advanced settings to get the ip address and name but all works great and it’s actually free

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate you sharing the setup experience. The IP address step can indeed vary depending on the TV model and where manufacturers place network details. We’ll take your comments into account to help improve onboarding instructions and make setup clearer. Glad to hear everything is working well and that you’re enjoying the app being free. Your input is valuable to us!

Really, really bad.

Sucks.

Useless

If you turn the tv off with this remote. You’ll never turn it on again with this remote. Completely useless.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. Please make sure you are using the latest version of the app, as we are improving the app constantly to enhance stability and device compatibility. We also understand your concern regarding powering the TV back on. Some TV models do not support wake-on-LAN or remote power-on features depending on network and hardware settings, which can affect this behavior. We appreciate your input and will continue working to improve the experience.

No go

Unfortunately, your app doesn’t work. Wouldn’t find the TV via wifi and added manually with two different profiles using both HiSense and Fire TV as the type. Both show connection but control nothing. This app doesn’t initiate the verification process needed with smart TVs . Other apps that I’ve tried that successfully paired use a verification code that pops on the screen. Doesn’t really seem to be a remote app that just provides basic controls for free and works.

Response from developer

Thank you for your detailed feedback, and we’re sorry the app didn’t work as expected. It sounds like the TV connection was partially established but the control handshake was not completed. Many smart TVs (including some Hisense and Fire TV models) require a pairing confirmation or on-screen verification code before allowing full remote control access. If this step is not completed, the connection may appear successful but commands will not be accepted. We appreciate you pointing this out. We’re continuously improving device compatibility and pairing flow, and your feedback will help us prioritize better support for verification-based TVs. Thank you for trying the app.

Free

Does not control tvs.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear the app did not work as expected. We understand your concern. TV compatibility can vary depending on the brand, model, and network setup, and some devices may require additional pairing steps or permissions before allowing full remote control. We appreciate you reporting this issue, and we will continue working to improve device support and reliability.
