Review summary

User feedback is mixed: the app can replace a remote and is easy to use when it works, but reliability is a major problem. Repeated issues include not working, network/same-network requirements, and compatibility gaps across devices. Some users report minimal setup success, but many requests for diagnostics remain unanswered.

Pros

Acts as a replacement remote for TVs/boxes when it works
Easy to use with a straightforward UI
Works on some devices/platforms (e.g., certain smartphones and TV boxes)
In some cases, requires little to no setup

Cons

Highly unreliable/not working for many users (frequent failures)
Network dependency: must be on the same network as the Magic TV device, causing issues for many users
Limited device/OS compatibility: not working on several devices (e.g., Asus ZenFone Selfie) and some OS versions
Lack of diagnostic options or clear error feedback to troubleshoot failures

2021-10-23	To*****	Sorry for the poor reviews as I've discovered this app is not responsible for the bad press! It's user error! I'm not technically savvy but with a bit of googling discovered that you need to use it's USB wireless dongle and set it up with your WiFi password. Also set up your Android phone to communicate with nearby WiFi devices. HEY PRESTO!!! The app works really well! Thank you guys for an awesome app as I'v almost worn out my third hardware remote. WORKS FANTASTICALLY WELL! Cheers!
