## Review summary

User reviews show the app is a handy replacement remote that can wake/turn on Google TV without an IR blaster and is praised when it works. However, the major downside is pervasive advertising that reduces usability. Connectivity issues are common, including failing to connect or wake devices and instability after updates. Overall, it’s useful when it works but often hampered by ads and flaky connections.

### Pros

- No IR blaster needed – works over the network
- Generally positive sentiment when functioning (e.g., "great app", "awesome remote", "i love it")
- Works with some TVs (e.g., Sansui/Google TV) and can be a convenient remote option

### Cons

- Heavy ads and pop-ups interfere with use
- Frequent connectivity problems: won't connect, or device won’t wake
- Reliability drops after updates/upgrades
- Some users report the app doesn’t work at all / is useless
