## Review summary

Users generally report solid performance when the app is connected, acting as a capable remote for Samsung TVs. However, the app is plagued by recurring connectivity issues, frequent loops during setup, and unfixable bugs after updates. A major source of frustration is the pricing model: forced or expensive subscriptions and one-time payments that allegedly render the app unusable, with many users seeking refunds and feeling scammed. Support is often described as unresponsive. Privacy concerns about data harvesting also appear. Overall, when it works, it's good, but reliability and pricing have driven many to abandon it.

### Pros

- Fast and responsive control when the app is connected.
- Generally reliable for months before issues appeared.
- Provides a convenient remote control experience for a Samsung TV.

### Cons

- Switch to paid subscription or one-time payment with reports of it rendering the app unusable afterward.
- After paying, many users report the app stops finding or controlling the TV.
- Limited or poor customer support and refunds; lack of assistance.
- Privacy concerns and claims of data harvesting.
