Setup is straightforward: open the app, select your Samsung TV from the detected device list, and start controlling. The extension offers customizable remote layouts, a touchpad for intuitive navigation, convenient app management on your TV, and media controls. Regular updates ensure compatibility and resolve connectivity issues. While not an official Samsung app, it offers a smart and convenient way to enhance your TV viewing experience.

## Review summary

Users report reliability issues with Samsung TV Remote, including frequent connectivity failures and device detection problems. Many note paid features hinder basic use (volume control behind a paywall) and some paid options don’t resolve issues. Ads and pop-ups disrupt usage, with occasional crashes. While some users find it good or great when it works, the overall sentiment is that the app is unreliable and monetization-focused.

- Unreliable and inconsistent performance (won't work, unreliable).
