  1. 5/5Looks a little out dated but best I’ve tried

    It doesn’t really look stylistically pleasing but it’s great to use if you don’t wanna pay $10+ for subscriptions on other similar apps. There are some pop-ups but it isn’t really that annoying. Pop-ups don’t come up every single button you click which is my I love this app so much. Just so y’all know you need to be connected to the same Internet on your phone and on your smart TV. I got this app because my remote’s up button broke and it was frustrating not being able to go up so I went around looking for apps to help. Out of the five apps I downloaded this is the only one that actually is worth your time because for the rest of them you need to pay for just clicking a button. And if you really think the pop-ups of that annoying and then I’m pretty sure you can buy the phone app without ads. So yeah that pretty much it and it’s an app you should try out if your having my problems

  2. 4/5Getting better again

    I loved the old version of this app, then they revamped it and removed some valuable features, namely the dedicated buttons for home, back and volume that were attached to the touchpad remote mode, giving me the exact same controls I use on my physical remote. They were replaced with a cumbersome gesture system that I found unintuitive and usually required using two hands to accomplish. The older version could always be simply operated with one hand. Since then, they have implemented a custom toolbar system in the touchpad mode which addresses the lack of dedicated home and back buttons for me (and also offers 50+ other buttons to choose from). No Vol+ or Vol- buttons in those toolbar options yet, but I have requested it. I also think the toolbar needs to be moved to the bottom of the screen. This would be the more ergonomic way to use the app and replicate the old layout (that I got really used to for the last few years). Lastly, being able to disable the gestures would makes sense to me, if for any reason because one of them conflicts with a particular motion the TV expects for a different function. I’m upgrading my former 2-star review to 4-star in light of the changes. Definitely can be a 5-star app again, we’ll see what future updates bring.

  3. 5/5Good App

    After trying a lot of different smart remote apps, I have always come back to this one. This is the only one I’ve found that isn’t ridiculous. I tried several different remotes, and they locked the remote past a certain point of usage. One app I tried let me press the buttons for a total of 3 times before it refused to let me use it anymore without buying a subscription or paying $30 for full access to a remote.(Seriously) This other app would let you use only, and I kid you not, half of the remote. If you tried to adjust the volume, you’d get a popup to subscribe or pay a ridiculous(-/+ 30$) amount to unlock the full remote. This app isn’t like those horrible ones. This one gives you full remote functionality and it’s only thing, like most apps now-a-days, is ads that come on from pressing buttons. But they have NEVER restricted full use of the remote in exchange for hefty fees and subscriptions. Literally, those other apps feel like extortion for the “service” they’re providing. So. After I tried so many apps, I came back to this one, and paid the $3.99 to this company. Because they deserve it more than those other garbage apps that try to force you to pay ludicrous subs and fees for an app. They never tried to force me to buy full access to the remote. I just had to deal with ads every now and then with button presses. The different kinds of remote controls are cool too. Thank you for being the only honest smart remote app on the entire Apple store. You don’t try to trick and force people into buying your app just to use it. You get an A+ in my book.

  4. 5/5Great app.

    This app is great for the most part but keep you old remote if you lost it and try to use this app it will not work! You have to click allow! If you clicked allow one time I’ll reconnect after every use! There is so many 1 star reviews about this and the bn pop up ads, its free it’s not their fault you don’t wanna pay to get rid of them it’s a free app Works better than most tv remote apps and it’s great if you can’t find your remote just remember you need to click allow🗿 and it will be perfect! It WILL reconnect after every use so just use your old one to connect this app to your tv okay?

  5. 3/5There is a room for improvement

    I’ve been using this app for a while now, and while it gets the job done, there’s definitely room for improvement. The concept of controlling my TV from my phone is fantastic, especially when my remote stops working, but some aspects make the experience less seamless than it could be. First, the app is functional but not polished. The interface feels outdated, and the constant need to reconnect to the TV every time I use the app is frustrating. Having to use my physical remote to approve the connection defeats the purpose for those of us who don’t have a working remote. This issue alone limits its utility as a true replacement for a remote control. That said, the app does offer great value compared to competitors, particularly with the option to remove ads for a small, one-time fee. The ads in the free version aren’t overly intrusive, but they do interrupt the experience just enough to notice. I also appreciate the customizable toolbar feature, which adds some flexibility, though it’s still missing key buttons like volume control. Overall, it’s a decent app with potential, but the bugs, outdated design, and clunky connection process hold it back. I’d give it 3 stars for now, but with a few updates, it could easily become a 5-star app.
