Works great, easy to useI have poor vision and had my vision accessibility on my phone set up to provide me with larger display (zoomed in). Originally, I didn’t realize that the app provided volume control because volume buttons did not show up on my screen. After turning off my vision accessibility settings, I realized that there was the ability to control the volume of my television. Idk if the developer can fix this issue but it would definitely benefit those with limited vision to have the volume controls appear on their device display. Still gave five stars because everything else is absolutely wonderful. I actually chose to just leave my vision accessibility turned off (zoomed out) so that I can control the volume. It’s difficult to see or read anything on my phone now, but I use this app every day and decided it was too much of a hassle to keep changing settings. If this can be fixed, I think it would definitely make this app even better than it already is. Thank you in advance for taking this into consideration 😊.Version: 2.6.0

Doesn’t work**updated - After about 6 months , numerous app updates , and 2 IOS updates the app is now working. The app is great now that it works. Really unlocks the potential of this system. Multiple EQ settings and volume control make it super convenient. I love the height feature to adjust, well the height level of the sound especially the satellite speakers. Really lets you dial in your preferences. To be fair using the app works much better than the cheap remote I was forced to buy. I’ve upped my stats to 4 only because of the initial inconvenience otherwise the system itself is excellent. Took off the start because the customer service was just a continuous circle of basic troubleshooting, one guy told me you’ll just have to wait for updates. ** Just spend a few hundred on a sound bar and it sounds ok but you can adjust setting from the app right? WRONG!! App doesn’t work. Live chat basically told me we’ll look into it. So now I have to either buy the Vizio remote which is sold separately or return this garbage and replace it with another brand. The only reason I bought Vizio was because I had one in the past and when the app worked, it sounded great. Totally upset by this purchase only because of the app. It just simply doesn’t work. Even after the update the app is still garbage!!! Vizio app is a scam. Google it. Millions of complaints and they never fix it!!!!! They are terrible.Version: 4.7.0

New Mobile AppI have been a fan of the Mobile app since I bought two VISIO TVs back last October and April. I had a long dialog with VIZIO Support over the app not being able to see my TVs. I have a fairly generic Internet Gateway that connects to the net via a 5G cellular link. I use an in-house router that is a mesh network with one satellite unit. Everything was connected to the net over that router but I after I added the 2nd TV I could not establish a reliable connection over the WiFi network. It presented a message “Not Reachable” on the app. The app just could not see the TVs and so it would not respond. I could not get Support past the notion that something about the app was not right. They insisted it was my network. After we closed the support case I decided to try something I had never done nor was I told to do it by anyone in Support. I connected the 50” TV to my router via an ethernet direct connection to my router and, voila, it worked. For the 32” TV, which doesn’t include an ethernet link, I had to innovate. I bought a USB to ethernet dongle which allowed me to connect the TV to the satellite and that now works as well. Problem solved. I find the new version of the app to be a bit of a trial and error learning curve so far. I liked the simplicity of the remote control being the “home” screen and the favorite apps on the next button. Navigation was easier. The new idea of putting the favorites on a slider in the middle of the new home screen seems clumsy and more trouble..Version: 4.0.0

Time to update my reviewMy last review was god-awful the remote was super slow couldn’t get connection. It would constantly disconnect, but over the past year they have improved it an extreme amount, even going to the extent of changing the look of it now in the latest update, which I kind of like but I wish they brought back the remote button feature where you could click the button on the phone and it made it look like the remote, and the swiping feature, I really do miss the swiping feature as well. That was great just some of the UI from the old date needs to be brought to the new update but other than that I really am enjoying it. I have no more connection issues and everything is fast and responsive. PS this is coming from a person with multiple Vizio smart cast TVs in the house. This app controls all the TVs in my home. We do not use physical remotes. Everything is done by the app so it is extremely important to me that it works well that is why we bought the Vizio smart TVs with smart cast..Version: 2.4.2

A step aboveThe original equipment, Vizio remote for my smart TV doesn’t have as many options as this app This app has a microphone button on the remote where the original equipment does not app also has a separate home button that allows you to scroll through on screen the apps they installed on the television So much more user-friendly than the actual remote Friendly French and secure having difficulty screen, casting or mirroring, which on your tablet or phone it’s possible you just don’t have the setting set up for the AirPlay so with this app I have installed from VIZIO all that to do is hit the little microphone button and safe set up screen mirror and pull the setting up right away. That makes it real simple. You can use Chromecast and use Google you can use Apple airplay, which is difficult to find going through the actual settings menu on the television scroll through and trying to find it just made so much easier I want to thank you guys so very much.Version: 4.8.0

RemoteThe app it self is simple and easy to set up and understand. The one issue I have, the only issues I actually have with this app is the remote part of the app. Hitting the arrows and navigating the tv without looking at the phone. Forget about it, almost impossible. Even when looking at the phone I find it hard to only hit the arrows, I’m constantly clicking into different videos by accident and then there’s that freaking ad at the top of the remote section. SERIOUSLY? Why not just keep the remote section empty and purely for navigating the tv. Why have an ad as big as the remote itself on the same screen? It’s so freaking annoying seeing this I opt out of using my tv to just watch videos on my phone or laptop. I only decided to write this review today because I found myself watching a movie on the laptop because I got annoyed with this app.. Get rid of that ad on the remote section and make that purely for navigating the TV you got ads on every other section, leave the remote section purely for navigating the TV, please and you will have a banger app right here.Version: 5.0.0

Remote UpdateSo I’ve had a Vizio tv for a while now and have been using the previous version of the app. The remote used a swipe instead of tap for the arrow functions (up,down,left,right) which was pretty hard to get used to but I ended up being comfortable with it. The new update removed that and has now gone to a tap instead of swipe. All which is fine and the interface seems less buggy. The only issue I am having with this is where the watchfree and home button are located. They are placed extremely close to the up and down arrows respectively. Since the update, when trying to search for something to watch on an app, I keep accidentally hitting the home button and watch free button which automatically takes you out of that app. It’s just a little frustrating when I feel those buttons could have easily been placed elsewhere. Other than that I have no qualms about the update as of yet and actually prefer it a little over the previous version. I would have easily given 5 stars had it not been for that small issue..Version: 2.4.2

At lastI NEVER have to look for the remote ever again, hallelujah 😇 I would always lose the remote in my covers. It would fall behind my bed. Sometimes I would carry it into the kitchen or the bathroom one time I even took it to the car. I don’t know why I think I put it in my purse or matter fact I think I just had it in my hand when I realized it just said it in a cupholder and then it was there for a couple days and I was like this is crazy and when my daughter told me that I could do put the app on my phone and never have to worry about the remote again because I keep up with this phone will the best I can cause I lose that sometimes too, but I can always turn the phone on go to my app watch TV in the bed or turn it on so I can hear the news when I’m getting out the shower or if I forget to turn the TV off in the living room and I’m already up in the bed I have to go to. I have to go back downstairs. I say hallelujah thank you Lord for Vizio mobile app👍🏽🫶🏽🙌🏾🤟🏾🙏🏾💪🏽.Version: 3.6.0

My ratingI feel like it’s good but sometimes is good all the time so yeah please get this app it’s easy to install and I like it a lot so like if you lose your remote if you lose your remote really help and it has like you can get to your apps easily it’s a lot of things that vizo has to offer sorry if I didn’t spell it right but yeah I really love it and I give it a five star so if you have a vizo TV you’re gonna like it a lot so please install the app today right now and first when I first got this app I didn’t really really look at the reviews so hopefully y’all look at the reviews for buy it. It’s free. It’s free. it’s free. It’s free. It’s free so yeah I know this is a really long paragraph and you guys really don’t wanna read it so yeah please get this app. It’s free. It’s good and good part is it’s free because for kids who like to get apps like your parents don’t have to worry about who is this app free or not yes it is like I love this so much and this comes from Skylar Louis.Version: 4.7.0

Thank you VizioI bought a 65 inch tv from y’all and it’s amazing to watch and play games on. I want to thank you specifically for all the free stuff it comes with the watch free app on the tv reminds me of like hotel tv. And it’s kinda a vibe to tune into cops, history channel stuff, Gordon Ramsey stuff, bob ross, the walking dead streaming all day long, walker texas ranger, or even the star gazing channel that’s basically a dope wallpaper with a nice ambience or the nature one and cityscape one is cool as well. Then it comes with free apps and apps that need subscriptions already installed, and y’all recommend movies and right on them it says if it is streaming from an app that is free or subscription based. I watched pulp fiction the other day and once upon a time in Mexico for the fist times the other day because of the recommendation part in the home screen. Like how y’all have things set up, was a great purchase especially for the price!.Version: 4.8.0

A glitch and a couple suggestionsOverall the app works great. needed it to use as a literal remote since our physical buttons tend to become hard to use very quickly. however, today the app glitched. went to turn the volume up from about 20 to 45, and apparently i pressed the button too many times because it ended up continuing to raise the volume. it continued well past however many times i’d pressed the button. my dad and i tried to stop it for a couple minutes. i continuously pressed the lower button volume on the app, and my dad kept pressing mute, but to no avail. it only stopped when i closed the app. i went to look around for a place to report a bug and there’s nothing that i could find, so there’s my main suggestion: an easily accessible place in the app to report bugs such as these. it’d also be nice to hold down the volume buttons instead of tapping over and over :P feel like maybe it’d help a little bit in preventing this bug..Version: 2.7.1

Better than standard remoteFirst - I rarely write reviews unless something impresses me. The Visio Mobile App is one of those that I feel is deserving of a review. First - having a remote is always at your fingertips via mobile phone. No more searching for the lost remote that magically finds its way into the cracks of the sofa or under it. I was pleasantly surprised the mobile app was compatible with our older Visio TVs in the house. (5 total). With the OTA (over the air) updates each TV has regularly- ensuring compatibility was forward thinking on Visio’s behalf. Using the mobile app also ensures no interference with other devices that have IR receivers such as LED strip lighting. This allows us to control the TV without the annoyance of triggering LEDs that start changing colors or blinking in the adjacent book shelves or back-lit LEDs behind the TV. We have a game room with multiple TVs . The mobile app also ensures that we turn on / off and change the channels and other integrated apps of the correct TV; rather than all three at the same time that are otherwise in the field of view of the traditional IR remote. (We know this first hand). Like the aforementioned LED issue, having a dedicated IP address allows for better control than common frequencies In various IR remotes..Version: 3.2.1

I have not had the same problems as everyone elseThis app works perfectly I haven’t had any problems with it, one of the greatest things about it is that if one of your family members is watching something and they leave the room you can change the channel without having to go on a hunt for the remote like it is a rare animal or something. There is no free trial for this app either so it is not like those other remote apps that only allow you to use any button by paying, there is one problem though I don’t know if it is like just the iPhone 13 but some of the buttons are at the bottom of the screen snd it will not allow me to scroll down although there is a little bit of the buttons showing so when I tap it i have to be extra careful about where I am tapping.Version: 2.7.0

Great App! Great TVI love this TV! It updates all the time, by itself! Every now and again I notice that the volume is in a different style or there’s something new going on with my tv! I can receive videos and pictures from friends and family or I can send them to my television myself! Comes with built in screen savers and oh yeah I almost forgot the games that come with it, that you can play with the remote!! No fancy gaming controllers or consoles just the tv remote! And there are a ton of games in the tv that are free!! I will never buy anything other then a VIZIO TV! Because they are the best!! Free live tv, free movies and free games! Then there’s always the stuff that you can purchase IF you want to purchase it! That’s what I love about it! Thanks for a great Tv VIZIO!!.Version: 4.3.0

Way Better Than Physical Remote!I got this app after I lost my second physical remote (the first died for inexplicable reasons), and I'm never looking back. Both remotes would often not register presses. The only reason I'm giving 4 out of 5 stars is because there is a 1-2 second delay between pressing a button and the action happening. Even though the app registers every press and the delay might not sound like a lot, when you're typing a search term it's a little annoying. Love having access to the speech input Beta, even though it currently only processes simple terms/phrases like "home" and "go to [whatever streaming service]". My main feedback would be that searching for content brings you home even if you have an app currently open, whereas I'd prefer to search in-app..Version: 2.2.9

A must have even if you have the original tv remote!!We are a Vizio family. A tv in bedrooms and the living room. I absolutely love this app because I can use it to function all the different tvs easily just by selecting which tv at the top. You can save your favorite tv apps and then power on the tv by selecting your app ie Netflix and it will go straight to that app by simply selecting that app. It has a pop up keyboard so no more having to scroll through all the letters for login, passwords and searching titles . You still have access to all the settings like sleep timer etc. you can do everything that the original remote can and even more awesome things that make it so much easier. I originally downloaded this as I have LED lights in my room and everytime I would use the tv remote it would change the colors of my lights which was highly annoying. Now I don’t even use the regular tv remote even if the LED lights are off. I tried a few other multipurpose tv remote apps but they didn’t have any of these features and also had ads. Do yourself a favor and download this. I swear it makes everything so much easier!!.Version: 3.1.0

Incredible AccessI was yesterday’s years old when this discovery became real to me. We purchased our 75” VIZIO roughly 2 months ago. Everything was going well until our remote control stopped working. My husband, being genius he is called to get help with the remote issues. Resolution in progress, they are sending a replacement remote control 🙌🏾. However, my husband asked for my phone and downloaded the app with all the features of our remote control on my iPhone. I was in total shock because I had no clue that I had the same access using my phone. Whoever came up with this wonderful idea deserves an applause 👏🏽. So glad to have purchased our VIZIO. I am one happy customer ❤️. Way to go VIZIO!!!.Version: 4.7.0

If you are reading thisIf you are reading this then you obviously need a remote for your smart TV that isn’t a Roku. After weeks of using this it’s very safe to say this is the best app. I went through a few different ones in the beginning but couldn’t access features I needed to without paying for the premium subscription and found this one. I’m super impressed and enjoy the availability this app has to offer throughout its platform. I still haven’t had a single ad, and wouldn’t be upset if I did. My old TV required the Roku app to operate using my phone. In my opinion this remote app is more convenient and has more options without being bugged to pay..Version: 4.11.0

Customer Service needs TrainingI had switched from DirecTv to using internet to watch all of my movies through my Smart Tv. I’ve had my Vizio TV when I had Direct Tv. Unfortunately when I shut down my account with Direct Tv, I needed to reconnect my Smart Tv directly to my internet. I have the old version of Vizio Smart Tv and kept getting stuck when the directions to reconnect stated that I needed to click the menu button on my remote bc my old remote doesn’t have a menu button. I called customer service and even though I explained everything to the gentleman he kept telling me to click on the menu button. Finally he understood that my remote didn’t have a menu button. I didn’t have the app downloaded anymore and my husband didn’t either bc we would just use the Direct Tv remote. The customer service gentleman’s suggestion was to see if anyone in the house had the app downloaded. I explained that no one does. However, if I could figure out how to reconnect my internet to my Smart Tv, I was sure that my Internet would automatically recognize the Tv and vice versus bc keep in mind, we were using this Tv through the same Internet before. Then the customer service guy suggested that I purchase the new remote with the additional menu button or to ask someone in my neighborhood to see if they had a Vizio Tv and use my neighbors phone to connect me. I had company coming over for Thanksgiving and was extremely frustrated bc I basically wouldn’t have a way to access the Tv in the living room. I finally realized that the customer service guy couldn’t help me so I just tried to figure it out myself. I redownloaded the app and gave it some time to recognize my Tv again and voila it did. I’m still surprised that the customer service gentleman didn’t know this himself. I wasted an hour dealing with a representative that hadn’t been properly trained. On top of it all I still cannot believe he suggested me to allow a neighbor access to my Tv. It definitely didn’t feel like a safe suggestion by trying that. Vizio- please make sure that whoever you have for customer service support knows what they are doing and is full trained before allowing them to represent your company..Version: 3.2.0

NEW UI makes my TV slowThe last firmware update makes my TV Vizio slow. I have two (V505-G9) and (D40f-G9) both smart tv. Both of them get really slow after last firmware months ago. I understand Vizio needs sponsors to get a income. But the last firmware has a lot of ads. I giving you 3 stars cuz I found a way to watch Local TV channels without use (Watch Free+) using this app. I do not understand why Vizio developers wants to force their customers to use (Watch Free+) to see local tv channels. Today I talk with “Joan” agent and his solution is to unplug and plug back every time the tv gets slow. That is not a solution. Vizio developers should let Vizio users to choose (Watch Free+) or not. And also let Vizio users to uninstall apps. Or better try to fix and release a new update solving those problems about why some TVs units get slow. Today I got an outage internet service in my area. And I need to go to settings and forget WiFi to use the TV. Cuz (Watch Free+) and (SmartCast) get in an infinite loop …. message saying loading…… If this persists probably I will return this TV that I got on BestBuy. I was so happy when I bought it months ago but now is very frustrating see it running too slow. Thank God I got I warranty for 5 years..Version: 3.2.0

A few functionality issuesThis app works fine until they change something which completely screws up the app. This happens semi-frequently, enough to be annoying, but not enough to stop using the app. Although I will say, I do like the idea of a remote on your phone instead of having to search for the physical remote every time (which I usually cannot find). However, that doesn’t take away from the flaws this app has. Multiple times, when I open the app, it immediately closes, and this goes on for about 2-3 times. In addition (and this is VERY annoying) some of my ‘favorite’ apps DISAPPEAR and I have to re-add them EVERY TIME. For example, I currently have 7 ‘favorite’ apps. When I re-enter the app, 4 of them will have been ‘un-favorited’ and I have to go back to re-favorite them..Version: 2.5.6

Good basic remoteAs a basic remote option it’s workable and was very easy to set up and use right away. That being said it’s missing several buttons that would be very useful to have, and with how big they made the direction pad on the app they could easily shirk it to half the size and have room for more functionality. Top two edits I would suggest is allowing users to edit what fast launch app buttons are on the top row, I use zero of the default options and wish I could change it. Also having a fast forward and rewind buttons should be standard on all remotes in the modern streaming era, so the fact that both the physical remote and the app are missing those buttons are a major oversight..Version: 4.9.0

Pump up the featuresIt’s a great app for this SoundBar. However it could be much better by reviewing the layout. Here are 3 main points: 1. Provide a direct link for Audio settings on main window. 2. Make the audio confirmation volume set to or by the volume control because it is extremely inconvenient in the middle of the night to hear “connected” loud. Also the app should command to the device it’s linked to show when it is connected. 3. Enable to manage Height volume for Front and Rear Speakers separately. 4. An LED lit screen when using the remote control would have made a world difference in a User Friendly approach..Version: 3.2.1
