A NOTE FROM KLAUS, THE DEVELOPER 1. No ads. I don't like ads interrupting you, so there are none in the app. 2. Try it first. The remote works free for your first 50 button presses - no account, no card. 3. After that, Premium keeps it unlocked. A year costs less than half of paying month by month. 4. Some remote apps charge more per week than this one costs per month. 5. Were you already using the app before Premium existed? You keep everything free, forever - my thank-you for being here early. 6. If you subscribe, thank you. Send me feedback from inside the app anytime and I'll keep improving it. Compatibility depends on your TV model and network. Your TV must be on the same Wi-Fi network as your phone. A Decent Remote is not affiliated with or endorsed by any TV manufacturer.
