User Reviews

Users are split: many praise the app when it functions, citing it as a useful Sony-branded remote and noting it works and is fantastic or very good. However, a large portion report reliability problems: crashes or failure to open after updates, installation/launcher issues, regional availability gaps (India), and compatibility problems with some Sony Bravia models. The recurring theme is that it works for some but often blocks access or fails to function.

Pros

Handy backup remote functionality.
Positive performance when it works (described as fantastic and works as intended).
Strong Sony branding support (praises such as 'The Best Of Sony For The Best Of Me' and 'SONY IS THE BEST').
General positive usability (notes like 'Very good', 'Nice', 'Good App').
Overall useful app for some users when functioning.

Cons

App crashes or fails to open after updates.
Installation/launch issues: Play Store shows only install/uninstall, and the launcher icon may not open the app.
Regional availability gaps (not available in India).
Compatibility issues with some Sony Bravia TV models.
Frequent reports that the app does not work or is unreliable.
