## Review summary

User feedback centers on reliability and cost: several report connection failures and frequent drops, with repeated prompts to purchase premium for basic features. Volume controls are often unavailable or broken after upgrades. Ads are intrusive. A few reviewers praise the app as a strong Samsung TV remote when it works, calling it life-saving and among the best remote apps, especially when the physical remote is missing. Overall, reliability and pricing are the main pain points.

### Pros

- Brilliant works just like the remote TV, a life saver as I cant find mine.
- It's a very good application and it's the best application remote for Samsung TV.
- A solid remote replacement for Samsung TV; helpful when the actual remote is misplaced.

### Cons

- Frequent connectivity issues and pairing problems; the app often won't connect or keeps dropping the connection.
- Forced premium/paywall for basic functions; users report 'one-time' fees and being prompted to upgrade to use common features.
- Volume control missing or non-functional after upgrade; users can't adjust volume.
- Annoying advertisements appearing with every use.
- TV detection/pairing problems; app asks which TV to use repeatedly and sometimes won't recognize the TV.
