Another useless remote app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry the app couldn't find your TV. Please make sure your TV and mobile device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and that your TV supports remote control over the network. If you're still having trouble, please contact us with your TV model so we can help investigate the issue. ### 1/5 — Reinstall *2026-06-13* Constantly have to reinstall to make it work **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-05-26* You can’t give permission to connect phone without tv remote **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2026-05-24* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — Really, really bad. *2026-03-08* Sucks. **Developer response:** below? Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the app didn’t meet your expectations. If you can share what went wrong, we’d be happy to look into it and improve the experience. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-02-17* If you turn the tv off with this remote. You’ll never turn it on again with this remote. Completely useless. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — No go *2026-01-24* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — Free *2026-01-21* Does not control tvs. **Developer response:** 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. ### 2/5 — Doesnt work *2026-07-14* I installed the app as my remote is missing i tried connecting to my tv and it actually connected pretty quickly however the buttons did not work at all i tried testing all the buttons incase some just didnt work but turns out they just dont do what i want it to would be amazing if it was fixed though **Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're glad to hear the app connected to your TV quickly, but we're sorry that the buttons didn't work as expected. Compatibility can vary depending on the TV model. Please make sure you're using the latest version of the app, and if the issue continues, contact us with your TV model and device details so we can investigate and improve compatibility. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-25* No I’m app pay w **Developer response:** 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! ### 4/5 — Bruh we serious *2026-07-17* Was great when using at first, but then never let me connect again 4 stars until I figure out how to make it work, really great that it doesn’t lock u out of actually using the core features without making u pay **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about the app. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble reconnecting.
