Dog chewed up my remote. Downloaded numerous different remote apps, none which were worth the time it took to download them (which wasn't long lol). The VIZIO app is the BEST one to use if you have a VIZIO television. It does everything you need it to, works fast, and is easy to use. I highly recommend.

Dependable. Since the app and the TV communicate through WiFi, I can control the TV when the phone is laying on a table in the kitchen -- the traditional infrared remote control can't do that. The app's menus are more flexible than using the Vizio remote control, too. But, the app doesn't see my TV if the phone is connected through a VPN. And, the ads in the app are Too Prominent, 'specially since I never care to watch the Hip-Culture, Made-For-TV-Dramas they're always pushing.

BRING BACK THE FAVORITE APPS TAB! How stupid that you made "favorite apps" harder to access. That was the most useful feature. No, I do not want to click, "Home", (scroll down, then across), click, "[ex. Netflix]", then select the device I would like to play on. Omg! Also, WHO ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT HAVING A "Watchfree" tab? Smh It's THAT annoying of an issue, that I would rate one star due to the change. Bring back the "Favorite Apps"/"Apps" tabs, and we would have a MUCH higher rating.
