User Reviews

User reviews show a strong remote when it works, but widespread connectivity problems dominate. Many users report the app cannot find or connect to TVs on the same network, across brands, and even when it connects, playback and control often fail. Reliability varies by TV brand (e.g., some Sharp success vs Samsung failures). Occasional crashes after updates are noted. Overall, the app is sporadically effective but largely inconsistent in practice.
Pros
  • When it works, the app provides a strong, usable remote experience.
  • Some Sharp smart TV users report successful compatibility with the app.
  • A few reviewers say the app connects to their TV on the same network and is worth using when functional.
Cons
  • TV not found or cannot connect to the app on the same network across many brands.
  • Found TV but unable to play content or perform expected actions (e.g., Netflix/YouTube, volume, channel changes).
  • Reliability and functionality vary by TV brand and environment, with repeated failures reported across different devices.
  • Crashes after software updates (e.g., iOS 13.6) have been reported.

Finds the tv on the network but WILL NOT connect. At all. The tv may be smart but the app developers are not.

Originally this app worked but after close to 3-4 months it stopped and now I cannot even turn on YouTube or Netflix if I choose to watch stuff
