## Review summary

The app is praised for working across multiple TVs, easy setup, and managing several devices from one account. Users value named TVs, remote control from anywhere, and responsive support. However, recurring negatives include mandatory subscriptions with unclear pricing, limited device support, intrusive prompts, connectivity issues with certain devices, and a hard cancellation process. Overall, it’s convenient and effective when it supports your devices, butsubscription-based use and reliability on some hardware are common sticking points.

- Not truly universal; limited device/brand support
