Actually free (with some pop up adds, can't get away from that these days...), and works. Have a Westinghouse roku TV, and typed that in the search box, and it was the first and only option. Powered on, then I scanned for TV channels, and then went to Netflix (through the smart TV, not cast from phone). So, actually works. It didn't ask for and I didn't give any permissions, odd again...
Out of all the so called smart remote apps I've downloaded, this has been the only 1 that actually worked. And simple to operate. Free too, thank the lord. Being broke is all to familiar anymore. But im going to try to keep my outlook on life stay positive as long as possible. Hopefully until things turn around. But if not I hope to stay positive, at least until I die. Fingers crossed!
Honestly this would have gotten a 5 star rating. Out of all the lg apps installed so far this is fantastic....... EXCEPT the apps panel is a text list of all apps. There is no way to sort it, no way to customize what I see, text instead of images. This part of the app is so bad that unfortunately I will hit uninstall and try the next one
Am giving 4 stars because it connected successful to my TV and all the functions are working but the main reason I downloaded the app was for typing purposes but because click one button at a time on the TV screen using the remote usually slow and annoying so if you can add keyboarding functionalities for faster typing whiles searching Netflix movies or any other search in your next update it will be much appreciated and you'll get my 5 stars 😜. Thanks
This app works with my TCL ANDROID TV 40S330 series. I had to uninstall the android TV remote services update on my TV to get it working. Some people don't know that. I hope the developer can solve this problem because the remote service apps keeps updating then this app stops working. And please fix the mouse. It moves too slow. Lately it has not been working . It works for few seconds and no longer works.
Works flawlessly, the remote is a bit slow in response maybe a second late at it's worst, and the voice command doesn't work on my tv however it's far better than most of its competition, other remotes just disconnect out of the blue. This one is quick easy to use, packed with features and just plain reliable. Edit:TV model is the Sony bravia
Sharp aquos. This app is a godsend. Was 3*. Devs showed they're regularly working on the app. There is an issue with the power button, i just unblock the mic.Voice "tv off" and block it again, works just fine, Ive yet to buy a replacement for my single button "smart" tv. Pffft smart my arse.
No idea why this app is rated so low, I downloaded and set it up within minutes for my LG Webos TV, it has some clever features and works like a charm every time, I like the quick access to the apps, don't even have to point my phone at the tv as its working through my router, might be nice to have different UI themes to choose from but hey, it's free!!
It's okay and it works but you can only raise the volume 1 at a time and the volume overlay display has to disappear before you can adjust 1+/-. Other than that I had no problems.
other then the pop up ads on my cell b4 I even use it to turn on my TV ..then it's great. for some reason I'm not able to turn on my TV or control it at all with my remote control and I had an app a while ago it was different n I can't remember the name of it but this one definitely does the trick. For now it's perfect!!
I can still remember a good app and finally realize that this would probably be about the third or fourth time in the last 3 or 4 months that I felt sure it would finally be fixed.. nope totally and completely useless
Bought the ad free version. doesn't work. Initially it work when you first open but the ads make it very buggy. Just buy a remote, cost the same as the add free version.
it works pretty good. (Edit) I found a timer option in my phones app settings ill adjust it to see if it works. Why does it stop working after about 8 minutes? I have to close app and reconnect to use it. I'm not sure how to allow it to run in the background until I close app
To anyone reading this, please, please just go buy a universal remote from a store. Please I promise you all these ads are not worth it, especially when the first thing you see when you open the app is an ad. You can't even close it because it's part of the app and you actually have to navigate to the remote app from the built in ad. It's horrendous. Why is the front screen of the app an ad? I couldn't find where to connect my tv because of course, it's behind an ad. Why put your app BEHIND ads?
Easy to use app for a lost remote control!! It paired right up to my tv and have been using this app for over a year. I've never had a problem out of this on chrome 11.
Initially it worked and then quickly it didn't. I was still in the need of remote using my smart phone for my RCA Android Smart TV so i kept looking. I found the comment regarding the upgrade and the fix. It worked for awhile and then it didn't, again. I read the info about the app and I saw the remark stating helpful customer service and by contacting via email. No email. Googled, no email. So are you guys for real or just like yanking my chain?
This app does not work at all. As soon as I found my TV brand it leads you to a new app to download, once you click on the close button its asking you to make sure your phone is connected to the same WiFi. Then you have only one button left and its a ipen button that takes you to FB or no where!!!
Very...annoying. it had a list of TVs and none of them had my TV. I have a SmartTv Hisense and it says Roku or Andriod Hisense and that's the only 2 options. I don't have a Roku or an Android. I just lost my controller and I want to watch Netflix. It had no convenient option for me.
The more I can use my phone to replace things in my life, the more easy dealing with certain aspects of my life. I love the fact that here is now another thing my phone can replace (remote controls) and that's one more thing I get to lose my temper over in an unnecessary way when i misplace my phone. tl;dr : -effectively turns phone into a universal remote for your tv! -works as it should, -still alive after download and use of app -not physically or emotionally taxing -Free! -NEVER SPOILS!!!
It was a great app because my 1 year old likes to hide remotes & I can't find where she stashes them. But, recently the center buttons don't want to work on anything except YouTube. Every other app I click from the remote the center buttons won't work. It makes no sense.
Seems to work fine for Nerflix app but when I open prime video app it none of the buttons work at all. I can navigate the home screen amd launch other apps but once they open the buttons are not reaponaive, the only app that works is netflix. Very strange.
The TV remote is ok..but I downloaded it coz I needed voice access which for some reason isn't showing in the app...or the developer just shows in the add that it has voice search option..a bit disappointed..other than that the functions of this app is the same as many other apps..
Worked at first, then now on smartcast screen I cannot choose anything with the center arrow key pad. Works on other apps like YouTube & Netflix, just not the smart cast screen. 🤔 Vizio SmartTV Found out when my sound bar is turned on. It fails but with it off, everything works. JBL soundbar.
I payed for app only to have to use old remote to confirm Television connection every time I want to use it app. There is no ( one time only ) configuration .App asks every single time .I've enabled all permissions in app and Television has app permissions enabled too. So what is the point if I have to use old remote all the time.
other than the obsessive amount of adds, this app is one of the best. My remote stop working for my Chromecast tv and a lot of the Roku remote aren't compatible. With the young kids and a teenager this app saved my life
Only one of my TVs can use it. I have two Sony Bravia smart TVs. I can only add one at a time. When I try to add the second remote it just loads the other one instead of giving me the option for two Bravia remotes. I reached out to customer support and they talked around it and I never heard from them again. If you only need to control 1 TV or if you have different brand TVs then this app works great! If you have multiple of the same brand, only 1 TV will work at a time.
