## Review summary

Users mainly praise the app for turning a phone into an Android TV remote with fast response when it connects. However, the experience is heavily marred by pervasive ads and frequent connection/reliability problems that cause it to stop working or fail to pair with the TV.

### Pros

- Remote control of Android TV from your phone (primary feature).
- Fast/quick response when the connection works.
- Positive user sentiment when it functions (e.g., mentions like 'best app' or 'Really awesome remote').

### Cons

- Excessive/ intrusive ads that don’t stop.
- Connection issues or failures to connect (e.g., TV detected but cannot connect, connection errors).
- Not reliable at times (stopped working, not working anymore).
- Limited support for certain features (e.g., mouse control not functioning).
