| 2023-09-14 |  | | I cannot get the app to remain connected. I have to manually enter my Samsung TVs IP address. The app will control the TV for a couple of minutes, but then it goes completely unresponsive until I "terminate" the connection to my TV then start all over manually reentering the IP address. |
| 2023-02-19 |  | | Hi there, I have the app, and it controls the channels on my samsung TV via alexa. but when the app is closed for too long on the phone it stops working and the app has to be reopened before it starts working again is there any way to get around this? |
| 2021-06-01 |  | | In the absence of a remote control, this app makes it easier to manipulate my Samsung smart tv. The occasional ads are indeed annoying, but I guess it is understandable. This app compared to other remote control apps I've tried, is the least annoying and the most straightforward. No need to select the brand. One just needs to scan on the LAN and the connect at ease! |
| 2021-05-28 |  | | I am so sick of ads on a remote control. I should not have to dismiss advertising to use a remote. What a joke. To add to it, what a ridiculous response. The reason for ads is obvious. The fact I need to actively dismiss anything to use a remote is a horrible idea. My pint is, these things can be managed better. It is not only this app, also many others |
| 2020-12-11 |  | | Exactly what I was looking for. Just wish I found it earlier. Works perfect giving my Echo Show 5 voice commands to control my Samsung smart TV. The TV is just a year or so older so that it does not work properly with SmartThings. This app solved the problem. For $2.50, more than worth it. Thanks for making this devs!!!! |
| 2020-09-04 |  | | Unfortunately, as often, adverts kept for going on with the settings. Devs, you should be careful when attacking right away with so many ads. Setting up such apps is never something easy, it requires calm and patience. Being constantly disturbed with ads while setting up an app doesn't give the user the will to go further. This way I won't even know if this app could have fit my needs. With such a monetization scheme you are running your own work. |
| 2020-07-25 |  | | Only works on Samsung TV's gives no indication until you start looking through the settings. I don't have a Samsung TV, in case that wasn't clear. Also, I'm downloading apps, because my infrared scanner doesn't work. Given the first step is turn it off and on, and the second step is get out the soldering iron, I figured maybe an app could connect, apparently I was wrong. |
| 2020-01-08 |  | | It doesnt even deserve the one star i was forced to give it. It can work, i made it work, but it took a very long time, the vast majority of which i spent exiting from apps on the app store which it tries to shove down your throat over and over again, and watching adverts. Its just a pool of adverts, every time you press anything you get adverts, adverts, adverts! I deleted it as its far to irritating to use. Absolute pile of rubbish. |
| 2019-12-20 | | | Doesn't work. After connecting to the tv, pushing buttons directly in the app did nothing to the TV. Using it with Alexa didn't work either. After registering it with Alexa, told her to tell smart remote to turn on the tv (or off) she just says "OK" and nothing happens. Also, lots of adds. And the app collects a LOT of your data. |
| 2019-11-30 | | | Pretty terrible app, layout is awfull, the fact that you cant even test the app to see if youd be interested in pro because every other screen is an advert set to full screen. Connected to tv and nothing working, no where to see what the issues are... thoroughly disappointed as the only reason I downloaded it was to get it linked with Alexa. Will have a look to see if theres an alternative xD |
