## Review summary

Most reviews condemn the app for monetization and reliability issues. The frequent themes are that access to the remote requires a paid subscription after a free trial, connectivity to the TV is unstable, and many features don’t work as advertised. Some users find value in turning their phone into a remote and in having a backup when the physical remote is lost, and a few report fast loading. Overall, users cite persistent billing problems and disruptive upgrade prompts as major drawbacks.

### Pros

- Turns your iPhone into a TV remote.
- Useful when the real remote is lost or unavailable.
- Some users report fast loading and low lag when it works.

### Cons

- Access to remote features is behind a paid subscription after a free trial.
- Unreliable connectivity: frequently fails to connect or disconnects from the TV.
- Limited functionality: core remote features may not work; only basic buttons like volume and input may function.
- Billing issues: cancellation does not stop charges and purchases may not be restorable across devices.
- Intrusive monetization: frequent upgrade prompts or ads disrupt usage.
