## Review summary

Users praise TCL TV compatibility and ease of use, with it often ranked among the best remote apps when connected. However, pervasive ads and unreliable connectivity hinder experience, causing re-syncs or complete failures. Some report intermittent functionality. Overall sentiment is positive when it works, but ad load and reliability issues are the main drawbacks.

### Pros

- Easy to use and user-friendly.
- Often described as the best remote app for TCL TVs; praised for overall performance when connected.
- When the connection is stable, it performs well and offers reliable control.

### Cons

- Unreliable connectivity and syncing: TV communication can fail, requiring re-sync or sometimes not syncing at all.
- Intermittent/partial functionality: some reviews report it only works a fraction of the time or opens settings instead of normal functions.
