User Reviews

The app shows potential as a universal remote, with some users reporting easy, effective basic control and good Sony TV compatibility. However, reliability varies greatly: many users cannot connect or control TVs, and experience slow responses or glitches requiring restarts. A major drawback is the mandatory paid upgrade to access core features. Additional downsides include ongoing upgrade prompts, limited support/refund options, and a cumbersome interface. Overall, usability is praised by a subset of users, but stability and value are major concerns.

Pros

Works well for basic remote control on some TVs.
Easy to use with essential remote features.
Claims to work with Sony TVs and other smart TVs according to user reports.
Not overloaded with ads; occasional upgrade option keeps interruptions low.
Helpful for people who frequently misplace their remotes.

Cons

Unreliable connectivity and limited TV compatibility; it may show connected but not respond or fail to connect at all.
Mandatory paid upgrade to access core features; subscription or pro price is required.
Slow response and frequent glitches requiring app restarts.
Poor or absent customer support and refund options.
Cumbersome navigation with multiple tabs and constant upgrade prompts.

Recent reviews

The app is good if you pay for the subscription. However I have to close it and reopen every time if I go off the app in order to change shows or turn up the tv.
