This is a really great app, and it barely took me 2 minutes to set my TV up! But some advice I have is: My TV measures volume from 1-100, and because the volume doesn't change when you long press the volume button, it's very tedious when you have to press the volume button over and over. And second: You could add a vibrate feature whenever you press a button. It feels really delicate to use the app otherwise. But overall, it's an awesome app!

Maybe I'm the only one bc I scanned reviews and found no info on how the finger navigation works!!! No instructions. I tried tap, double tap and long press, NOTHING! Also, the ads are crazy. Not worth it. I only tried it bc my batteries died and remote and didn't wanna drive to the store. NEVER AGAIN! This app taught me to always have batteries! I'm using the ONN android TV stick.

This is an excellent app that worked perfectly with my sharp Aquos Android tv... Key word being "worked". Now it's useless. You can get it working by backing out updates to the TV's tv remote service, but by the next day the update is back and the app no longer works. Way too much trouble to go thru this every day. When are y'all going fix this? I'd bump your rating to 5 stars if this issue was fixed. *Not fixed. Wifi connections don't seem to work at all. Always get the Bluetooth prompt.
