Review summary

Many users report that while the app is easy to use and convenient as a remote replacement, it is marred by forced 5-star ratings to unlock features, heavy ads, and frequent connection failures. The unethical practice of requiring high ratings before usage leads to frustration and distrust, resulting in very poor reviews and an overall negative user experience.

Pros

Easy to use
Connects quickly when it works
Convenient when the physical remote is lost

Cons

Requires users to give a 5-star rating before full functionality is unlocked
Excessive and intrusive advertisements
App frequently does not connect or work as expected
Misleading and unethical behavior by asking for high ratings to use the app
Overall poor user experience and unreliability

2024-12-24	Ki*****	Doesn't connect. Doesn't work. Nothing but ads. It only gives you the option to use it if you give it 5 stars. Basically, they're fishing for higher ratings than they're worth. Don't waste your time.
