Connects quickly under certain conditions.
Serves as a useful alternative when the original remote is lost.

Cons

Excessive ads that interrupt usage and connection processes.
Issues with connectivity and frequent need to reconnect.
Does not support turning on the TV or some features like the touchpad.
Frequent freezing and lag during use.

How very convenient that this app constantly requires you to reset your connection to your tv from 1 day to the next. Gotta make sure I'm fed those extra ads everyday. Like getting fed an ad everytime you unlock your phone into this app isn't enough. Look for alternatives. You waste too much of your life dealing with these ads just trying to turn it up. Edit: Look for the Smart View app on your galaxy phone. It's Samsung's official remote and no constant d*mn ads. Uninstalled after so long.

THE OTHER REMOTE?- NO THE ONLY REMOTE...since I have an old Samsung dmart TV and the remotes die sooner than TV, I HAD TO RESORT TO THIS APP. And seriously now everyone in family have this app to switch the TV inputs a d control volume and turn on power etc. Great alternative but since I have this remote app, no on have seen the original remote. Thanks team for bringing this app to us.
