Remote control for Sony Positive Reviews
Works great for 70” Sony!UPDATE: Caution! Once you try this app, you will be hooked! This smart phone remote has been a game changer & now I can’t go back! Admittedly, it was a little awkward at first, but when your sweet hubby falls asleep snoring in his recliner and it’s okay to leave him there, now I don’t even have to leave my bed to turn the TV off!!! No longer do I have to shout, “please turn the tv down,” when needed; when the family sees the volume magically decrease and I’m not in the room, they just get it! 💯👍 Old physical remote is now repaired, but I am officially hard-wired to this app! 😂😂😂
Initially had to find alternative suddenly when physical remote failed; this was the 3rd app I tried and it has really delivered! Worked seamlessly w/ my Sony tv via the same WiFi network. Using the free version (very few ads), but maybe the paid version has a long press option? Love that I can press buttons from anywhere within my WiFi network reach: the remote doesn’t have to face the tv! Recommend over any other Sony remote apps!.TinyMouseMightyHeartVersion: 2.98
The Best Sony Remote PeriodStop your search and get this app. This app has worked without a single problem. TV auto-connects every time. The available interfaces are well designed for their own purposes. Everything just works and I have no complaints whatsoever. Buy the membership if you appreciate the app. I would like to thank the developers for this app. I’m very grateful to find this from this App Store crowded with broken apps with false promises. It just works and it’s the best one. Don’t waste your money and time now and download this one. Thank you..BPa2cVersion: 7.0
It worked, but it definitely can be betterAt first, it was a little hard to set up and our tv said it was blocking access, but we followed the instructions and got it up and running. I like that they have different kinds of remotes and you can just go to the app instantly and have it up and running. (If you had it open in the background while previously using it) Don't let the image looking remotes fool you, they work.
However, the ad pop ups are terrible. Every 10-15 or so presses brings up an ad and it's very annoying. Otherwise, it worked fine for me, didn't like the ads though, that's why I'm giving it 4 stars..Keiran G.Version: 2.33
Works well, only one concernThe app works perfectly and I like that there is dark mode in these apps for once! My only problem is that I have 2 Sony TVs on the same network, and they do not show the TV’s name. I had some trouble finding the right TV, but the overall experience was pretty good..Im-chillinVersion: 7.7
Controls my TV pretty good.For the most part this controller is pretty good. The only complaint I have is with the volume as I have to press it repeatedly to increase the volume instead of being able to just hold it down and that’s a bit annoying. Also it would be nice if there was a wide view for landscape mode on the iPad. Other than that it’s spot on..KeyFunk4UVersion: 2.84
Crappy app doesn’t work and I paid for no addsApp is crappy and doesn’t let me connect always freezes every time I try and connect and when I try and pair with my tv it doesn’t let me or says I’m not on Wi-Fi when clearly both my tv and phone are automatically set to Wi-Fi.Jmg2k11Version: 2.84
Works greatWorks great! Bought the ad free version because I ended up using it quite a bit.
One thing is that it doesn’t turn the TV on. So when it’s off an you can’t find the remote you can’t use this app. Otherwise works perfect.Greg T KeenVersion: 7.7
Not consistentWhen not in use, you have to restart again. It’s not permanent on my phone. Also, it needs a 2025 update for a new remote control..BrinathebestVersion: 7.7
Ads are annoyingThis remote is terrible. You keep getting pop ups when changing channels.SpearchuckerVersion: 7.7
Works Great!I have many Sony TVs in the house and have lost the remote. This app works for the garage TV perfectly.
Seem less connection so far. Easy set up instructions.
Would recommend..Ay OhVersion: 7.7

Works Now! Give it another try, new update.So the app is working, ez setup, using on Sony X85J..Charity116Version: 7.0
Cool!Followed the steps and it worked! I don’t know what happened but the ads used to be annoying and every seconds but lately it’s not as much..890175Version: 7.7
Fantastic experience for me. Paid $5 to support the devsThis is free and ad supported. I felt it solved a problem for me and was worth the $5 asked to removed ads.
Thank you team!.AndrewsorlieVersion: 7.7
Works fine on my Sony X95KTrying to “type” on the original TV remote is a pain, to say the least. For the small one time payment to remove ads, I would say it is well worth the money..Barnaby416Version: 6.5
Works wellWorks fine once I went through the sync steps. Could the developer update the Remote to include one for XR-50X90J? Many thanks..Henry20222022Version: 7.0

Remote control for Sony Negative Reviews
A good temp fix, but that’s about it.My Sony TV remote died, so I downloaded this app till the replacement arrives. If the app worked better, I wouldn’t spend the money on a new remote, but that’s not the case. It worked well once, then after turning the TV off and back on again, I had to remove the app from my phone and reload it again in order to get it to work. Also, the entire remote image doesn’t fit on my iPhone 12 screen, so I have to scroll up or down to get to the top or bottom of the remote. Yeah, I know, 1st World Problems, but I’d expect it to work better overall than it does. Also, adds pop up, but they can be removed for a one-time in-app payment of $3.99. If I liked the remote, I’d pay it. But it’s a no-go for me. Since it’s a free app, you clearly get what you paid for..HollygramVersion: 7.0
Does not workI don’t usually like writing reviews. Especially bad ones but I need others to know as well as the developers of the issues this app has. I love how simple (ideally) it is to connect to the TV. It will show up in the available devices as it’s IP address and it was pretty easy to tell which IP address was the TV’s but when I went to connect the tv to the remote app I always get an error message saying connection failed. This needs to be fixed. I have even tried manually setting it up which is still extremely simple if it worked. Please fix and let me know when it is I would love to use this app but if it’s not going to work I’m not going to bother with it..Terrible 🤦♂️Version: 7.0
Poor implementation, buggyThe biggest problem is how it handles lag / lack of connection - it continues hitting the same input. So if you walk slightly out of WiFi range while increasing the volume, the TV gets cranked to 100 volume and it might be 30 sec or a minute before you can reduce it. If you’re in the middle of entering a pin or password, it will enter it a dozen times and lock you out.
The other problem is the ads - it will literally pop up a dozen of them while you’re trying to put on one show, and it does it while you’re actively trying to input. It’s sketchy, maddening, and greedy..KdjsiejsnVersion: 7.7
Nice but clumsy User InterfaceNo.1 complaint is that it is NOT compatible with the Apple Watch. )Other remote apps in the App Store are.) Please add this functionality and I’ll gladly update my review to 5 ⭐️. No.2 complaint - crashes every time I try to customize the input buttons! This seems more apparent since I updated my iPhone 15 Pro to iOS 17.6.1. Every time I open the app it hangs on the launch page showing that it’s building the link to my Sony tv. (My WiFi signal is NOT the issue. It is consistently strong and a router is a mere 5 ft away from the tv.).Gort356Version: 7.7
Lots of Ads/Needs frequent restartsI liked the function of the app, but it kept popping up random ads and it was impossible to browse on streaming apps. I had to scramble to figure out how to close them out as the X or close buttons were all in different places. Not a friendly app if you are elderly or have an elderly relative at home..GreyishbooVersion: 7.7
Works when it wantsI personally only use the app when I absolutely have to it doesn’t always work and has ads basically every time you close it and open it back up, like it’s nice when you don’t have to turn on the tv and can’t find your normal one. But don’t bank on it working every time.What bout uVersion: 7.7
Keyboard doesn’t workIf you try to use the keyboard feature, a box appears to type into, but is then covered by the pop up keyboard, so it then becomes impossible to go to the next step or copy into box from clipboard, and the rest of the app is disabled, so essentially activating the keyboard traps you in that function and you need to close the app to exit..VduderVersion: 7.7
Ok it worksIt’s slow to load most of the time. Works with my tv though. If an ad pops up good luck. There’s no way to close the ad. You have to restart the slow loading app. I’d say this app works in a pinch if you misplaced your remote or it’s nit by you. But this is not an app to replace your remote with..Parker557Version: 7.7
GlitchRemote works well other than the fact that when you turn on the tv with the remote app, then try to continue use, it glitches and app has to be restarted 2-3 times before functional again.Earnest9Version: 7.7
Takes too longTakes too long to load and it actually gets real frustrating when I need to turn of my tv or lower it down. Last time it took a whole 7 mins for it to load, and I have 5G internet.Destiny ZaragozaVersion: 7.7
SaltyThe app takes several times of swiping out and starting over to get it to work. Once it’s working it’s fine, but I spend so much time just trying to get it to start! I have a current iPhone and a new Sony tv. Not real happy with it but want to be..Tom ShanksitVersion: 7.7
Tried and triedI downloaded this app and i went through the directions over and over and it will not connect . I’ll say one thing else the short video clip moves to fast to see the selections made . Had to watch several times . Think the developers needs to realize that not all of us are computer genius ..NormNelsonVersion: 2.33
Ads are infuriating!You can be tapping away trying to navigate when all of a sudden you get a "pop up" that says "the remote has been disconnected" or something along those lines, but when you click "reconnect" it's actually a link to the app store for a different app!.Noonya KalekaVersion: 7.7
So buggy nowThis app started out great, but in past few weeks the app now has Socket, socket error er 1
Sometimes if you restart the app a few times it will work but less and less each time it happens. What happened?.Rapper boyzVersion: 4.9
AdsReally irritating when ads constantly pop up when trying to navigate the remote. Would’ve been 1 star but it helped me in a pinch..Insomnia412Version: 7.7
Stop workingIt has way too many ads and it just completely stop connecting to the tv when they are both on the same WiFi network..Tushy KVersion: 7.7
Doesn’t connectUnfortunately I’m unable connect. I’ve tried to connect to every device listed. There was one that took a couple mins before stating an error message, just like the other devices..NikoleNikkiVersion: 7.0
Doesn’t WorkI downloaded the app but can’t get it to do anything but turn off the TV. It does not turn the TV on, change channels or control the volume. I even change several settings on the TV as instructed..EXS4853Version: 7.7
Information hackThis app does nothing but log into your network spy around and then do nothing for you then after a few minutes kick you out and try to charge you.VickpeepsitVersion: 7.7
Charging even though I didn’t took your remote serviceYou are charging me even though I cancel the subscription on same day when I downloaded your app, zero rating for the app.John_Smith987_Version: 7.7
AwfulWorst app ever! It Will not connect unless it feels like it and when it does it glitches constantly! So frustrating and the apps just pop up and you continue to accidentally click on those too, and not purposely!.Hol6140Version: 2.33
App does not work properlyIt worked a few times after uninstalling and reinstalling but not no more. They need to fix it I paid for it and it’s not working at all anymore..Lou cianoVersion: 7.7
Not working without GPS localisationCannot use the application because it requires to activate the localisation gps. This is ridiculous.
I’m not talking about finding devices on the network but having accès to my gps location. Why would it need to know where I’m located?
I have other apps that connects to devices on network without asking for gps location..NickammVersion: 3.00
Ads on a remote?Just trying to change channel while I wait for my replacement physical remote and this app keeps just putting ads up while I'm pressing buttons, so I follow links I never intended on following. Garbage..Jeremie2089Version: 7.7
