Review summary

Overall user sentiment is mixed. Pros cited include easy-to-use operation and solid performance on a Wi‑Fi network, with compatibility for Roku, Android TV, Shield, and other devices, and use as a replacement when a physical remote is lost. Cons are frequent billing/subscription charges after a trial, misleading no-WiFi claims and required same-network connectivity, limited device compatibility, and setup issues such as codes not appearing or failed connections. The experience is further hampered by ads and upsell popups. Reliability varies greatly by device, raising concerns about refunds and support.

Pros

Easy to use; easier than other remote apps.
Works well with Roku and Shield and other devices on a Wi‑Fi network.
Useful as a replacement when the physical remote is lost.
Generally solid performance on supported TVs over Wi‑Fi.
Some users report prompt refunds for billing issues (good billing support in those cases).

Cons

Frequent billing/subscription charges after free trial or trial period.
Conflicting/no-WiFi claims: app suggests no Wi‑Fi yet later requires same-network connectivity.
Not universal—limited device compatibility and some TVs aren’t supported.
Setup/connectivity problems: codes not appearing, TV not found or requires ongoing Wi‑Fi to connect.
Ad-heavy experience with popups and upsells on opening or use.

2026-04-10	Ex*****	I saw a couple of reviews recently of how it wasn’t working well for people, but I’ve had no issues using it both with my Android TV and my parents Roku tv (who lost their remote so this was a god send).

2026-02-26	Sl*****	I order and tried to use this app on my TV. I could not get it to work properly and cancelled it after the free trial era. I find out they have continued to charge my credit card $10.69 for the last 14 weeks for a total of $149.66. I could buy a tv for that price! Apple should pull this app from their App Store. It’s a scam!

2026-02-24	Rt*****	I was seduced by the rating. This is a Poorly Conceived App. I’d hoped for multiple layouts. - believing AI will deliver a quality user interface is Dangerously Naive. - believing AI knows better what I want than I do is stupid. - believing developers know better what I want than I do is arrogant. I hate the bright red selection star. I really hate the click when I press a button. There should be a prominent APPS button. The fixed buttons are too restrictive. I’m controlling a smart tv, and I don’t want to hunt for the DirecTV app, which is my primary source: broadcast channels plus streaming channels such as ESPN(s), MS-NOW, and others. I also have Apple TV, which is where Formula 1 races will be shown. I want my money back.

2026-01-10	Re*****	Downloaded this app to try and work my Vizio TV remote it never once actually worked. When I canceled they continued to charge my card $10 every week. Do not use this app. I’m out $100 and never actually got anything from them.

2026-01-01	Ya*****	This app is straight cancerware. Can't hit any button twice without the whole screen getting taken over for a 3 second ad.
