2022-01-05	SOUTH SOUTH	This app works with my TCL ANDROID TV 40S330 series. I had to uninstall the android TV remote services update on my TV to get it working. Some people don't know that. I hope the developer can solve this problem because the remote service apps keeps updating then this app stops working. And please fix the mouse. It moves too slow. Lately it has not been working . It works for few seconds and no longer works.
2022-01-03	Darren Hillaby	Honestly this would have gotten a 5 star rating. Out of all the lg apps installed so far this is fantastic....... EXCEPT the apps panel is a text list of all apps. There is no way to sort it, no way to customize what I see, text instead of images. This part of the app is so bad that unfortunately I will hit uninstall and try the next one
2021-12-23	Aiyanyor Scott	Am giving 4 stars because it connected successful to my TV and all the functions are working but the main reason I downloaded the app was for typing purposes but because click one button at a time on the TV screen using the remote usually slow and annoying so if you can add keyboarding functionalities for faster typing whiles searching Netflix movies or any other search in your next update it will be much appreciated and you'll get my 5 stars 😜. Thanks
2021-12-22	Heather Wallace	Hate this app!! It sucks, it doesnt work right, i tried going onto apps on my tv, the arrows dont work, i click the button on the remote itself for netflix, it then stops working when i try to pause anything and now it wont even turn my tv on or off. Ive sent emails about it and nothing. Dont waste your time on this app, it sucks!!
2021-11-17	Judith Monarch	Initially it worked and then quickly it didn't. I was still in the need of remote using my smart phone for my RCA Android Smart TV so i kept looking. I found the comment regarding the upgrade and the fix. It worked for awhile and then it didn't, again. I read the info about the app and I saw the remark stating helpful customer service and by contacting via email. No email. Googled, no email. So are you guys for real or just like yanking my chain?
2021-09-30	Rob Awesome	The more I can use my phone to replace things in my life, the more easy dealing with certain aspects of my life. I love the fact that here is now another thing my phone can replace (remote controls) and that's one more thing I get to lose my temper over in an unnecessary way when i misplace my phone. tl;dr : -effectively turns phone into a universal remote for your tv! -works as it should, -still alive after download and use of app -not physically or emotionally taxing -Free! -NEVER SPOILS!!!
2021-09-12	Derek Page	Only one of my TVs can use it. I have two Sony Bravia smart TVs. I can only add one at a time. When I try to add the second remote it just loads the other one instead of giving me the option for two Bravia remotes. I reached out to customer support and they talked around it and I never heard from them again. If you only need to control 1 TV or if you have different brand TVs then this app works great! If you have multiple of the same brand, only 1 TV will work at a time.
2021-09-11	Clarissa Hennon	It was a great app because my 1 year old likes to hide remotes & I can't find where she stashes them. But, recently the center buttons don't want to work on anything except YouTube. Every other app I click from the remote the center buttons won't work. It makes no sense.
2021-08-29	Debbie Palmer	I have Anytime TV and an Amazon Firestick. My regular remote can't control the Smartcast and the Smartcast can't control my Anytime TV & Firestick. I guess I'm going to have to call Vizio and get the directions to set my 32" Vizio TV back to factory default settings then download Anytime TV again. And I have to remember to unplug my Firestick while I set the TV back to factory default settings. Lol. That would be horrible if I strip the Amazon Firestick from all of its info.
2021-08-01	John Wells	Kind of works on 2021 Sharp Aquos, The only button that requires infra red is the on/off button, the rest of the buttons are Bluetooth, so the majority of people will need to turn the TV on maually. The app will then search for your TV and ask you to input the pin that will be displayed on the tv You can change channels. Use voice search (say "hdmi 2") Volume Pretty basic controls. The app drowns you with ads from the start. Even before you have set it up. Stressful.
