## Review summary

Users find the app useful as a backup remote and easy to set up, and it can become reliable after updates. However, pervasive ads and high subscription costs to unlock features like volume control are major downsides. Many reviews mention pairing and connectivity problems requiring re-pairing, plus occasional non-working features (e.g., Android watch controls). A number also dislike frequent rating prompts. Overall, it's a handy tool for lost-remote days but hampered by pricing and intrusive ads, driving some users to seek alternatives.

### Pros

- Handy backup remote when the TV remote is lost
- Easy setup (about 5 minutes) and user-friendly
- Improves and becomes more reliable after updates
- Long-term usefulness for "lost remote" days
- Less intrusive ads than some competing apps

### Cons

- Intrusive, full-screen ads and frequent ad bombardment
- Premium subscription required for essential features (e.g., volume control) with high prices
- Connectivity/pairing issues requiring re-pairing or reconnection with the TV
- Occasional non-working features (e.g., Android watch controls) and annoying prompts to rate or sign up
- Inconsistent performance on some TVs/devices and initial failures to work
