| 2024-11-11 |  | | Tv gave me a code, I typed it into the app, it works with little to no delay (update: stopped working and there are better options) |
| 2024-10-18 |  | | Google play keeps popping up ads during installation, difficult to figure out Vizio or other application that wants to load up. |
| 2022-12-02 |  | | I love it. It's better than those other remotes that make me have to pair with my TV every time I wanna use it. Even better, if I cut my TV off, I'm able to cut it right back on. My only complaint is, do y'all have a universal of this exact kind of remote, cause I've got a smart tv in the living room for a different TV that I have to use a different app with that operates like the kind of universal that I described above. The kind I don't like. I've been using this app for I don't know how long. |
| 2022-06-22 |  | | This app is ridiculous to say the least! I don't have a remote for my TV and have used the Vizio smartcast remote. However, that app doesn't have all the functions needed to use certain options on my TV. So I searched around, came across this one and it does nothing at all!! Has me pretty frustrated to say the least!! You'd think these ppl that make these apps would have to test them out in some way be4 making it available to customers! You guys have some things to work on with this useless app |
| 2021-12-22 |  | | This was THE best option I came across when the kids lost my remote. Although some ads would pop-up,they were easy to maneuver around while I used the remote. Other Apps I tried would force me to watch before I could click through each step. It was horrible! I did find that I had to Uninstaller, thenreistall for each Vizio TV would be using at that time. As though itstop scanning each device into home once connected to say my master TV, versus my others. All in all very happy with this remote! |
| 2021-12-18 |  | | As long as I'm in one of the t.v. apps the "remote" has a button for, it works fine. But the directional buttons don't work on the main home screen, so pretty much other than Netflix and Youtube, I have no functionality with this app ☹️ |
| 2021-11-16 |  | | Easy to operate, paired with TV no problem. It does work but there is a little input lag. I'm keeping the app just in case my actual remote for the TV dies or is misplaced. When you first open the app there is a big ad you have to navigate around but once you're in the app you just have the banner ad at the bottom of the screen. |
| 2021-11-06 |  | | I have two Vizio TV's in the house and only one consistently pops up in the app but the other TV only some times pops up in the app. I have to force close the app and reopen it in order for the app to show my TV. Also, if I turn the screen off on my phone while the app is connected to the TV and there is a show playing, the show will lag but as soon as I turn the screen on and unlock my phone so the app is showing, the lagging stops. App is useful but very frustrating. |
| 2021-10-23 |  | | I really enjoy using this app, I have waited a whole week to test it out before writing a review. It works just like my remote that stopped working after I dropped it a couple times. After you download the app, just type the code that shows up on your tv's screen and boom! You're in. I just wished there was a Disney+ option then I'll be complete. Also you need wifi to use this remote! Otherwise, I'd highly suggest this if you don't want to spend any money on a brand new TV remote. |
| 2021-07-12 |  | | Wow, where do I begin...this app is awful. Like so many others, this one works poorly. I downloaded it a long time ago to use for our smart TV. It worked fine. I didn't need it for quite a bit of time and came back when we needed it. Now, it's bogged down with adds and connects to the TV less than half of the attempts I make. I've restarted the phone, app, TV, and even router. Two star rating because it USED to work. |
