Review summary

Remote for Element TV is appreciated for its simple and responsive interface for controlling TVs with IR capable phones. However, many users face issues due to the requirement of IR hardware not present in modern devices, leading to non-functionality. The app is criticized for excessive ads, misleading prompts requesting credit card info, and poor clarity on its prerequisites. While it works well for some, the connectivity problems and intrusive ads frustrate many users, limiting its overall effectiveness and usability.

Pros

The app is visually appealing and has a simple, easy-to-use interface.
Controls are responsive and intuitive, making it convenient to use as a remote.
Works well for those phones that have the necessary IR hardware component.
Some users find it to be a time-saver and effective in controlling their Element TV.
Provides basic remote functionalities like volume and channel control effectively.

Cons

Requires the phone to have IR hardware, which many modern phones lack, causing the app to not work for many users.
Contains excessive ads and misleading 'activate your account' promotions that detract from user experience.
Requests credit card information under the guise of location verification, which concerns users about privacy and legitimacy.
Poor instructions or lack of clear information about the IR requirement and app capabilities.
Many users report that the app fails to connect or synchronize properly with their Element TV, rendering it unusable.

2022-10-17	Dr*****	This app is full of "activate your account" adds that have zero relevance to the actual app. It takes you to 3rd party websites to sign up for things and asks for your Credit Card info. It LOOKS like what you're supposed to do but it's an add. If you close out, it takes you to the actual remote app, but I couldn't get it to synch with my TV.

2022-08-17	Do*****	No option for use with Note 10. Apparently no IR and since it's fairly new, I would guess there aren't many phones that will work.

2022-08-13	Em*****	Didn't work for me. My phone doesn't have IR hardware, whatever that is. Looked visually appealing. Hard to tell Ads from actual app.

2022-06-26	Ti*****	Samsung galaxynote 8 doesnt have IR! Bummer. If you have a newer phone check first to see if it has IR port. I am sure the app works fine the problem is samsungs fault. Even so, what I did see in this remote for element TV was terrible and useless. I am pretty sure it would have been rubbish even if my phone did have a IR port.
