Stuck on the couch with 2 sick sleeping kids, the TV suddenly gets super loud and the remote is no where to be found. Downloaded this app and instantly was able to turn the volume down. best app ever honestly lol

It works like a charm & I really dont have a problem with it. My only issue is, it doesn't remember the TV that it's being used for. Each time I go to use it, it keeps asking which Tv. which, can be a bit annoying. Other than that, I would have given it the whole 5 stars.

I love this app for the fact I can control either my LG tv or my Roku. But I hate this app as I must reconnect each time I open it and my tv can take a minute to be detected. I'm deleting this app due to this inconvenience but love the fact of no ads for free. Just disappointing it cannot remember my devices so I can easily toggle between without having to wait for it to detect it again.

No excessive ads, easy enough to navigate and free. I've installed on multiple phones as a backup. Thanks developers!

hate how it rushes you to decide if you like it.. idk yet. It worked, but I think I had it hooked up before.. and if I remember correctly, the initial setup was a pain with no remote the first time.

Not bad, But it needs play, stop, fast forward and fast rewind buttons to be able to control the streaming apps properly.

Good when it works and not too many intrusive ads. I find myself having to reset it a few times to make it work with my tv. The lack of a fast forward button on the smart remote is a bit irritating as well.

the ads are a bit of a nuisance, but the application is functional in leiu of a physical remote, so long as the TV is connected to the internet. To share an experience: connecting your smart TV to the internet without a remote you can use a plug-in mouse in a USB port and navigate to the internet settings on the TV.
