Works good no problems with my experience with the app. do wish it had a power button to wake or put it to sleep though thats pretty annoying but i can live without it. Just disappointing as it would seem like the obvious first step to any remote. Turning on your device.

This app works perfectly! There are little advertisements and rarely we needs to be fixed. Especially due to the fact that I am physically disabled( quadriplegic) diagnosed with transverse myelitis. So I am able to control my TV on my own without depending on anyone else. Rarely has major bugs to fix. Give it 3 Thumbs up. Recommend this to anyone instead of using physical remote or if it is lost.

Wont even wait till you are done changing something to load ads ads every 3 seconds will interrupt the functions when the the ads start coming up every 3 seconds sucks don't waste your time.
