Review summary

Reviews show a split: some users praise the app when it functions, noting good features and helpfulness. However, many reports highlight serious stability problems (crashes, lag, unresponsiveness), privacy concerns (Google ID sign-in and potential adware), and poor TV compatibility. Updates are viewed as buggy or destructive. Overall, the app can be useful, but stability and privacy hurdles limit its appeal for many users.

Pros

Users cite good features and benefits.
Some reviewers give high ratings (5 stars) indicating satisfaction.

Cons

Frequent functionality issues: the app often doesn’t work, lags, freezes, or becomes unresponsive.
Privacy concerns: requires sign-in with Google ID and is described as potentially adware/spyware or invasive.
Weak compatibility with TV devices: not working on Google TV/Chromecast and limited mouse support on TVs.
Updates described as buggy or destructive, failing to fix issues.

2026-07-14	*****	The people discussing the dangers of uninstalling this app have no idea what they're talking about. First of all it uninstalled for the USER. If you factory reset your device ALL USER MODIFICATIONS are redundand. furthermore, should you still face any difficulty. Taking into account it is only ever uninstalled for the user and remains deep in the ROM you can restore it via adb: adb shell pm install-existing (insert package name).
