Review summary

The reviews are largely negative. The main issues are a paid subscription with hard-to-cancel charges, frequent connectivity failures and non-responsiveness, noticeable input lag, inconsistent TV discovery, and poor customer support. A few mentions note sporadic operation when it does connect, but overall users question the app’s value, especially vs. free alternatives.

Pros

Cons

Requires a paid subscription to use the remote, with unclear or difficult cancellation.
Frequent connectivity failures and non-responsiveness; app often cannot connect to the TV.
Significant input lag and unresponsive controls even when connected.
Inconsistent TV discovery; sometimes the TV is found, other times it cannot be detected.
Poor customer support and disputes about charges; some users report ongoing billing after cancellation.
