## Review summary

Most reviews describe the Vizio Smart TV Remote app as unreliable and often nonfunctional. Some users report initial success with pairing or brief responsiveness, but the app frequently fails to discover the TV, connect, or complete pairing. Several users note pairing codes/PINs are hard to use or time out, and the app becomes buggy, forcing re-pairing and re-sign-in. When it does work, controls are limited to streaming-service buttons, with little or no support for navigation, volume, or power. Ads and potential malware warnings further detract from its appeal.

### Pros

- Some users report it works and is responsive intermittently.
- A minority of reviews say the app is good or works great when it functions.
- Pairing via the on-screen code can work with little delay for some users.

### Cons

- Cannot connect or find the TV; pairing fails or the TV is not discovered.
- PIN/code pairing issues; users report missing pairing PIN, timeouts, or repeated prompts.
- Buggy and unstable behavior requiring frequent re-pairing and sign-ins.
- Only streaming-service buttons work; no control over navigation, volume, or power.
- Ads during installation and reports of potential malware/virus concerns.
