**What reviewers complain about**

- 🚫 Fee not optional
- 🚫 Have to pay to use
- 🚫 Whoever thought that making a remote a paid subscription was a good idea deserves to be eaten alive by dogs like game of thrones
- 🚫 The app is impossible to use unless you agree to pay
- 🚫 Wow you can't even use the app unless you pay. You can't hit the volume up or down without being sent to the subscription page. You really want 6.99 a week? If anything it should be a 1 & done thing, the app should just cost money to download. What a joke

**Reported bugs**

- Funcionó al principio pero luego dejó de conectarse
- Wont mirror to my tv. Just keeps saying format not supported
- Don't waste your time on the trial. Doesn't cast or mirror. Remote function & settings option at bottom of screen are the only 2 out of 5 that operate

**Requested features**

- None
