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.

2025-09-10	Re*****	This app is terrible and when I first got on it to try to understand how it works it charged me $40 immediately and I never even used Face ID or my Apple ID password to confirm the purchase. I also never even got my money back and when I went to make sure I wouldn’t receive another outrageous charge I went to their websites instructions on how to cancel my subscription, and low and behold it was a blank page. DO NOT GET THIS APP

2025-07-21	br*****	I downloaded this because the SmartThings app keeps losing connection to my tv for some reason lately and I’m tired of having to constantly reconnect it, so I thought I’d give this app a try. Although it connected to my tv after a few minutes, it will not let you bypass the allow permission unless you have your actual TV remote to hit ok, so therefore it’s absolutely useless in my situation. If you have your actual remote during setup it might work out fine, but I was super disappointed this didn’t work for us.
