Review summary

Button Mapper is valued for its core ability to remap hardware keys and add practical actions, and is noted for being simple to use. However, recurring drawbacks include a restrictive Pro/paywall with unlock issues, reliability problems (remappings failing or resetting, especially on TVs), and Android TV limitations. Additional frustration comes from unlabeled custom buttons and unclear backup/restore paths. Overall, it’s functional but hampered by paywall friction and stability concerns.

Pros

Effectively remaps hardware keys (e.g., volume, power) and supports various button mappings.
Simple to use for basic tasks and works as described.
Adds practical features like a dedicated flashlight button on some devices.
Valued for customization and essential for users who want customizable button behavior.

Cons

Pro unlocks and paywall are frequently problematic; users report issues purchasing or accessing Pro features.
Remappings can be unreliable or reset (e.g., back button mapping only works on first press; settings reset when the TV turns off).
Android TV users report limitations and paywall restrictions affecting functionality.
UX/UI clarity issues (customized buttons lack labels; backup/restore paths on Google TV are unclear).

2026-07-08	Ri*****	This is one of those utility apps that provides functionality that should exist in the base OS, but doesn't. Whether you use it to make the buttons on your Shield remote less annoying or remap the Bixby button to something useful, this app is absolutely worth the price of paying for Pro.

2026-07-04	Ro*****	Sorry guys, I installed this to change button functionality. Then it asked for money. I agreed to pay 1.49, and got charged 3.99. Then the instructions are impossible to follow and compromise my phone. And your responses to other customers are really rude.

2026-07-01	Ma*****	Not really worth $10 just to test a faulty app. If you offered a 24 hour free trial for testing purposes I would buy it in a heartbeat. You won't/can't because dissatisfied no refund purchases are a part of the business model.
