User Reviews

Remote: NOW is easy to set up and works effectively as a remote control, serving as a convenient free replacement for lost remotes. However, users are frustrated by the very frequent, intrusive ads appearing every few clicks, severely impacting usability. The paid version, intended to remove ads, is reported to fail in some cases, leading to disappointments. Additionally, some users face app crashes, lack of volume control, and connection issues. While the core functionality is appreciated, the ad experience and stability issues are major drawbacks.

Pros

Easy and quick to connect and set up with the device.
Functions well as a remote control when it works.
Simple and easy to use interface.
Free alternative to buying a physical replacement remote.
Paid version removes ads (though some reports say it does not).

Cons

Excessive and frequent intrusive ads after every 4-6 clicks, making usage frustrating.
App crashes and stops working after short usage in some cases.
Paid version does not always remove ads as promised.
No volume control feature, which is essential for a remote.
Some users experience the app not opening or failing to connect after updates or reinstallations.

Recent reviews

It works but every 6 clicks will make an add appear. Pretty annoying.

***** 2025-01-14

After every 5/6 touches on remote ad pops up, so when you search after every 6 characters ad will pop up. However the remote works, and if you can live with ads its fine. Installation easy, easy to work, just the ads popping up so frequently is annoying.
