User Reviews

V-Remote often works as a WiFi remote for Hisense TVs, with automatic discovery and remote-control capabilities (volume, inputs, apps). But many reviews note reliability issues: it can stop connecting, sometimes requiring a TV reboot, and auto-connection isn’t guaranteed on all models. The UI is clunky and swipe-based, with no dedicated Enter/OK button. It also lacks power-on/off functionality and has inconsistent Netflix/profile navigation. When it’s functioning, it’s a useful, cost-saving alternative to a physical remote; when not, it’s frustrating.

Pros

Auto-discovery and quick WiFi pairing with Hisense TVs.
Provides practical remote replacement with core controls (volume, input/HDMI, navigation, apps).
Works well and often found by the TV, sometimes outperforming other remote apps.

Cons

Connectivity can drop or fail to connect; requires re-pairing or TV reboot.
Not consistently auto-connecting across all TV models; compatibility issues.
UI/UX is clunky and swipe-based, with no dedicated Enter/OK button.
No power-on/off control; can't turn TV on via the app.
Netflix/profile navigation limitations; cannot reliably select user icons or accounts.

I downloaded this app maybe 3-6months ago and it has been working perfectly fine for me, connected to my tv instantly everytime and now out of no where the app won’t connect to my tv anymore. I have uninstalled the app as well as turned my tv off and on and it will not connect now for the life of me. I’m upset because this app did save my life but since it has stopped working I feel like I’m now back to square one looking for a remote for my tv.

Like the remote easy connection; however,I have to turn my tv off and bk on sometimes to get the remote reconnected. But there’s no setup required. Works tgrough your WiFi connection. This is good remote if you’ve lost the original remote to the tv. Lol. Just open the app turn your tv off and bk on. And it picks it up like Bluetooth. 🤩🤩🤩
