1. 5/5Still has ads after paying the $3

   The app works great. I love using my phone instead of searching for the remote. My tv has wifi connection and quick startup so I can turn in the tv with the app which is why I wanted it. I am always losing the remote but know where my phone is all the time. Cons The shortcuts don’t really work and when you have to keep hitting the input button until it goes to the input you want unlike the remote which gives the option to scroll to your desired input. Also, after you purchase the ad free version, close and reopen the app otherwise the ads might still appear.

2. 4/5Amazing

   This is overall amazing but the only problem is I get tired of having to go like scroll up and down to just get a button that I want.I would recommend trying this this is so amazing because sometimes I like lose by remote and I don’t know where it is, so I could just go to the app on my phone to like use it and it’s amazing so thank you to the person whoever made this you are truly awesome and amazing. I can’t believe this actually works because I always shut it like screen mirroring but I used to do this but it does not work anymore I do not know why but this is better because I don’t like to like type stuff in and it takes forever and then when I almost finished it type it in and I just forget what I have to type in. So I would recommend trying is 100% but sometimes she will get tired of scrolling up the up-and-down but you really don’t have to scrub down because I think she might want it’s like I don’t know how to say it right there in front of you don’t have to scroll but if you’re looking for numbers yeah you have too.

3. 4/5Excellent, but this one ad

   I love everything about this app but the ads the keep popping up by just hitting your arrow buttons a few times and an ad pops up of random crap and it makes me just mad about the abs by you can just skip them without watching anything , but I love this app because I accidentally threw out my TV remote while cleaning my room and I lost hope till I got this app cus you know useless TV till you have the remote so you can use it so I got this app and I was finally happy again because I threw it out 2-3 months ago but you can also change the remote to the older kinds to newer types and maybe your original Tv remote might be on there if your lucky but all I did was choose the one that was closest to my old one but all I hate is the one ad that pops up once in awhile but 4/5 Stars is pretty good so I recommend downloading this app if you lost you’re too!

4. 1/5I don’t trust this app anymore

   I downloaded this ages ago, found it perfect to use as a remote with the TV. However, today when I opened the app, Apple notified me that the “Remote from Vizio” app pasted what I copied from a different app. Basically, I copied a link from safari to send to someone, and this app read that link even though I never gave it permission to do so (I never pasted it in the vizio remote app). This link wasn’t a big deal, but what if someone copied some important private information? Would the vizio remote app read that information too? If this was done on purpose, why does this app want that information anyway? Apple has given iPhones a lot more great privacy features recently, and I’m glad they did, because I deleted this app right away, and told my family and friends about it who deleted it as well. I hope it was just a mistake in the coding script or something, but if it wasn’t, I am deeply disappointed in the developers of this app. Also there have been a lot more issues with reconnecting recently.

5. 5/5Honest review!!

   Pros Setting up is so easy! To begin with you have 10+ options of controls you get to choose from. You also get the option to remove ads for $3.99. After choosing a control you search for you tv by typing the 4 digits that appear on you tv. After that it’s not necessary to reconnect every time. You can use the control even if you’re not in the same room. Cons Ads appear every 10 clicks or so. Some of the shortcut buttons of the controls don’t work. It disconnects every now and then. You have to turn on your tv manually to connect.
