| 2024-11-30 |  | | Works excellent, I have no found any device that it does not manage. My only problem is that the app takes to much time to start. Sometimes does not open... |
| 2022-09-08 |  | | Totally unusable due to constant advertising before even starting to use the remote features! Make, model of TV needs to be selected each time. IMHO it's absolute rubbish! |
| 2022-08-07 |  | | I won't lie, I really liked this app it was literally the best remote app ever until after some days or weeks,more or less then it stopped working. I uninstalled to install again but there was no change in situation and I now don't know if I should recommend it to someone or not but now all I can say is, it is real wack! |
| 2022-07-25 |  | | Ads take up more room then remote. The ads take up so much room the buttons for the remote are tiny. It also didn't have more then one option for connecting to a Philips tv so if the first one doesn't do everything you're S.O.L. |
| 2022-06-01 |  | | Great UI, but that's it. Didn't work on my TV. I have no knowledge about IR remotes, but other apps let you test out multiple codes to see which one works for your TV model. Seems like this one just assumes all TVs from the same brand use same code. |
| 2022-04-04 |  | | My kids Tv has been off since their remote stopped working. I searched for apps that will unable them to use their smartphone to control the Tv but I ended up downloading lots of apps and uninstalling them. The moment I clicked on this, it was very simple and my phone connected to the Tv through my house broadband immediately. Thanks for creating this app, I'm grateful to have finally found a useful remote control for my tv. I also love the way it is simple and easy to use. |
| 2022-01-11 |  | | Great little app. Works on most TVs I've encountered. Couldn't be handier. I especially like the option to change channels in bars and clubs. Inevitable the show changes from a show everyone wants to watch to one they don't. Staff scrambles to find the remote, but I can just pull out my phone and switch it to whatever is most popular with everyone. Ads are small and not intrusive. |
| 2021-04-12 |  | | The ad spam is ridiculous, 3 ads before you can even use it. Forces you to pick the tv brand everytime you open it, no way to make it default to one. The remote itself only works half the time, you have to press buttons multiple times for them to work (not a tv nor phone issue, I've checked with different apps). Don't bother with this trash. |
| 2020-12-11 |  | | Kids broke the TV remote so I decided to search for a app here. Other apps would only connect to the TV through wifi so I was super excited when I found this one. It works really good. Best thing is you can use it offline |
| 2020-06-22 |  | | This app is a God sent, my vizio tv remote ceased working and i tried all the vizio remote apps and they were total garbage. Decided to try a universal remote app and this has worked quite well.My only problem is the fastfwd and rewind options in which you have to press the button a whole bunch of times to get it where you want to, which is quite annoying and exhausting as opposed to just depressing the button and releasing it at your choice...I give 4 stars because it's close to perfect👌 |
