I was using the the lite free version for a few months and decided to purchase this app as an Android remote for my apple TV. They debited my account but the app offers no functionality whatsoever. It keeps giving different errors. No contact possible either. These guys are untrustworthy. Google should not be allowing such transactions. Unlike Apple's Appstore, one cannot get a refund either.
Have been charged several times for ability to add additional Apple TV's but it just doesn't work. Works great for the single Apple TV but if you need anymore than that you are out of luck. Shame, great except that you can't pay to get more Apple TV's
Thought I'd try this before I bought a new apple TV remote. Shouldn't have wasted the time. Basically a glorified play/pause button and it freezes every few seconds.
Used it for about 5 minutes. Once connected to Apple tv (using my original remote) I was unable to do anything except go forward. Every touch acted as the select button. Serious issues with it from the start. Uninstall
Simply does not work. Can't pair with my apple TV. Doesn't find it in scan, won't detect the phone if I put in the IP address. Just doesn't work.
Buttons don't work as per Apple TV remote. This app is due for an upgrade release. Don't bother downloading it in its current state as you will be disappointed.
This will controll your Apple TV in place of the remote that comes with it. You cannot pair your phone with the Apple TV if you dont have any way to interface with the Apple TV (e.g. you lost your only remote).
This app did not provide a slot for my Apple TV that I purchased today. I am just looking for a refund. Update: 10/26/18 I have emailed the support email and have not heard back. Still waiting for a response
Yes, to put some ads is reasonable but how or when you bring the ads everytime you open your phone even just for less than a minute because my phone was on a sleep while the apps isn't closed yet simply nonsense
Needs a distinct center point or button, its comical when multiple people using different devices have to try repeatedly to select a channel or option, even when taking their sweet time.
No way to get to the menu once you're already watching something because every button selects. An awful design.
It works fine until it breaks and stops loading the remote then I can't turn the Apple tv on at all which wouldn't be a problem if I had a working remote, please fix this
Worked great for a week then stopped working. All I get is a spinner. There is NO support available. Can't contact developer. Too late to get refund from Play Store.
does nothing but take your money. confirmation of payment arrives in seconds. but this app only has a spinning wheel after running payment. DON'T FALL FOR THIS SCAM.
You need the apple tv remote to set this up. The whole point of downloading an app is because you don't have the remote anymore
It does the job perfectly well. Not sure why all these people are whinging about it it's free after all. If you don't like it stop losing your remote 🤣
So this apparently technically works it is just supper delayed. What I mean by delayed is when you press a key to make it do something I found that it takes maybe 15 secconds to register.
It did not work for our Apple TV Gen 4. After checking the FAQs on the app, I see that they specifically note that it no longer works with the Gen 4 but only the Gen 2 and Gen 3.
Useless. You need your Apple TV Remote to set up this remote. If my original remote was functional, I wouldn't be downloading this one
Used this remote for years til today I switched to Anymote because I'm absolutely annoyed with ads is getting worse all the time get the same idiotic ad for a stupid game with a stupid fish I'm fed up with this I am uninstalling this right now
It works but not as swift as other apps. Moreover I subscribed to remove ads but the ads on startup appears as as no subscribed copy
doesn't f'n work. Nothing happens when i click connect to ma Apple TV listed with correct IP#. Uninstalled.
Hello I'm writing In regards to your app I recently just purchased an extra slot to add an extra remote and it was paid for and processed but when I try to add 2ndary apple box it says I need to purchase another slot.. Can you please fix this for me?
Useless app. You need the apple tv remote in order to use it. If I had that I wouldn't need the app!
Doesn't work. Can't find Apple TV when scanning or when I enter IP. Waste of time.
Doesn't work on my TabS6 or Note20 Ultra. All devices are on the same 5ghz wifi. App can't find the AppleTV.
Won't pair with apple tv, either through scan it inputting the IP address. Useless
Doesn't find the device. I think this is just a way to get your devices IP address
App is ok but whenever I leave the app it has to be closed and re started for it to connect to the Apple tv again
This app worked well for years but the recent ad updates have rendered it unusable. App constantly clocks while loading ad content when you want to use the controls. It takes 60 seconds on average to use any remote function. Imagine having to wait that long to pause a video. A lot can happen in that much time.
