Great app! When it is actually is able to detect my Samsung Smart TV. And that's about 1/2 of the time. A few bugs. If they were fixed it would be one of the best most convenient apps ever.

Wow I never imagined that a tv remote contrl app could give you motion sickness. Imagine being a developer and publishing an app that you forgot to finish leaving the one and only detail being the orientation of the screen. Removing any sense of stability from the applications existence rending it and the user hopelessly stuck in a state of nauseating confusion. I really love when the hallucinations started though I didn't expect having that without eating a pile of suspicious mushrooms.

The remote discovered the tv itself and worked right away. But the full screen ads that popup unexpectedly while you are navigating a menu are pretty horrible and spoil the whole experience. And there is no even a button to pay to get rid of them.

I found another opinion saying that the app has too many ads showing up right when using the remote control, now I know that's true. The app has too many ads that show not in the right time, I mean, when clicking a button an ad shows and the app disconnects from the tv, when I close the ad then the app starts to connect again with the tv. The app works fine, but the experience is horrible because the ads.

If i could rate 0 stars i would.. Too many ads!! Seriously, it's every 5-7 button clicks and you have to constantly look back at the remote to make sure you're not pressing any ads. Also, I could not turn the app completely off, it was constantly running in the background. I do not trust this app. I just needed a temporary solution until my new remote comes in the mail.

This app works abosultely fine, and it was great when I first got it.. Had to wire the TV to my network for better responsiveness. ADS ARE REDICULOUS!!!! Every 5-7 clicks you get an ad, and most of the time that happens you are too busy looking at the tv to see an ad pop up. That's beyond bad form. Startup ads? Sure ads at the bottom of the screen? That's okay too. Ads every 100 or 200 clicks would actually be a lot more acceptable, but every other time I click a button? CHANGE THAT. NOW.

At first, this App was a dream come true. My original remote started acting up and this was a quick, cheap, and easy fix. At first, the ads were only on startup. Now the ads are popping up, full screen, every 5-10 seconds. I understand there is a premium version, and I under stand that ad revenue helps support creators of free content, but these ads are far too intrusive to make using the app worth it. If this issue is addressed, I will consider revising my review.

This was a great free app with ads visible at the bottom of the screen. It's now become an ad spamming machine throwing up full screen ads every couple of button pushes. I'd happily pay for the ad free version if it wasn't so ridiculously expensive for what it it is. I have a fully functional ad free Sky remote app that was a fraction of the price and I was happy to pay for it. Greedy, greedy devs.

accidentally dropped my remote in a glass of water. i won't go in depth of how impossible it was that it would happen but my luck is set up in a way that it did. tried using as a temporary solution until i can buy a universal remote tomorrow. too many ads. full page ad every 5 taps making the buttons useless. hey developers...be smart. use the revolving ad at the bottom of the screen so it doesn't interfere. be greedy? lose source of income. there are better apps available.

the app works for us without issue, except for the fact that is programmed so that every five buttons there is an advertisement. This is made even worse by the fact that there is no apparent way to pay for the removal of all of the ads trying to use this app is excruciating, but it does work so you get 2 stars. please fix this, it is used by so many people, and I know without doubt they are as annoyed as I am. (note to all those that are using this app, if you are just channel surfing, use the #s
