User Reviews

Users praise quick pairing and broad cross-brand compatibility with a rich feature set, making it a convenient all-in-one remote for multiple TVs. However, frequent ads and costly premium options—often per device—are major downsides. Reliability issues, occasional disconnects, and device-specific compatibility hiccups also appear in reviews, though many still find it worth using for multi-TV control and avoiding lost remotes.

Pros

Quick pairing and broad cross-brand compatibility (Sony, LG, Roku) across multiple TVs in a household.
Rich feature set including full remote button functionality, touchpad navigation, shortcuts, and customizable background color.
Convenient all-in-one remote that helps replace multiple physical remotes and reduces the risk of losing them.
Generally responsive UI with low input lag and reliable performance when it works across devices.

Cons

Frequent, intrusive ads (video ads) that interrupt usage and chip away at experience.
Premium requires subscriptions or per-device purchases, leading to pricing frustration and multi-device cost concerns.

Universal remote paired quick and easy with all the TV’s in my house. I wish I had installed this app sooner, I wasted so much money on remotes that would break. As a Sony tv remote, this gives you all button functionality and even has a more page for buttons the regular remote doesn’t have. Roku it works similarly well.

I’m so sick of losing my remote in the couch and around the house! I lose my phone sometimes too but it’s easy enough to find 😅 anyways this is the first app I found that actually paired and worked without any issues for any of the TV’s in my house (again, I have Sony, LG, and Roku if that’s helpful for others). Thank you developer!!!

I’ve been using this app for a few years now without any issues. It’s really improved with these last few releases as the developer has added a dedicated touchpad page for navigation, the ability to run shortcuts (I use these to navigate to my favorite youtube channels), and the ability to change the remote background color. Very happy with this app ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
