User Reviews

The app is useful and fast when it connects, with easy setup and handy remote-like functions (volume, power, inputs). However, repeated reports of flaky connections, inability to power the TV on/off on some models, frequent crashes or reinstall needs, and other reliability annoyances significantly degrade the experience.

Pros

Fast device discovery / quick connection to the Toshiba TV
Ability to turn off the TV via the remote app
Easy setup and quick initial connection
Volume control via the app
Generally performs better than other remote apps for Toshiba Chromecast when it works

Cons

Frequent connectivity issues: TV not found, TV doesn’t respond, or never connects
Inconsistent ability to turn the TV on/off with the app (power control reliability varies by model)
Stability issues: crashes, need to reinstall, and messages like network unstable
Some users report requiring the phone to be on the TV’s Wi‑Fi network or other compatibility hurdles with Chromecast/Google Home
Annoying onboarding: full-screen help prompts on returning to the app

Recent reviews

This app is pretty good and useful, however sometimes it just disconnects so you have to refresh the whole app to get it working again. If you could fix that the the app would be so much better.

Which is for one day after downloading. Then it’s always “tv doesn’t respond” and you have to delete and redownload. Super frustrating

The app rarely is connected to tv even though my wifi is always working, phone is connected to wifi, and tv is even connected thru a cable to the modem. Wish they would update this issue!
