## Review summary

Overall sentiment is negative due to subscription billing and reliability problems. Many reviews complain of ongoing charges despite attempting to cancel, with reports of refunds being denied and perceptions that the trial terms are misleading. Users also cite setup hurdles requiring a real TV remote, frequent failures to discover or connect to their TVs, and limited brand support. A small number report successful connections and praise the idea, but the dominant view is that the app is overpriced, unreliable, and often feels like a scam.

### Pros

- Connects to TVs and can function as a remote when pairing succeeds.
- Some users report immediate or quick connection and usable performance.
- Overall concept of a phone-based remote is appealing to users (great idea).

### Cons

- Recurring subscription with high weekly/monthly charges and unclear trial terms.
- Billing problems: charges during trial or after cancellation, refunds issues.
- Setup barriers: needs an actual TV remote to confirm during setup.
- Limited or inconsistent compatibility and discovery across TV brands.
- Reliability issues: glitches, cannot connect, and reports of scams.
