## Review summary

Users largely report this app fails to work reliably: it can't discover or connect to TVs, won't cast or project, and is overwhelmed by ads. A few users claim it works as a basic remote for some devices, but most reviews label it a scam or waste of time. The experience is hindered by unclear setup and compatibility issues, with ads making setup and use frustrating. Overall, it's widely regarded as nonfunctional and ad-driven.

### Pros

- Basic remote control functionality can work for some TVs/devices.
- Some users report the app 'works' or is 'not bad' when it connects.
- A small number of reviews indicate occasional positive experiences or favorable ratings.

### Cons

- Cannot connect to TV / cannot discover TV over local network; frequent failures.
- Ads are pervasive and intrusive (startup banners, multiple ads during setup/use).
- Misleading projector feature; advertised projector but not available; described as a scam.
- Setup/usage is unclear or difficult; users want instructions.
- Not compatible with popular TVs; fails on common devices.
