Stayconnect® remote Positive Reviews
Delivers on its promiseI don’t quite get the hate for this app in the other reviews. It does exactly what it claims to do in its description right here on the App Store: change the channels, adjust the volume, and control the power. (Apparently, certain reviewers here are too inept to even read this, or perhaps they delight in playing the victim and saying they were “misled”.) Yes, this is very basic functionality, but it’s a lot more convenient to flip through channels via a labeled list on your device rather than punching in a meaningless, ambiguous number or using up/down on the remote, so the app is a clear improvement here; the other reviewers saying that the app is “useless” don’t know what they’re talking about.
With that said, the app is missing basic functionality that is standard on remotes, such as mute (the only way the app lets you zero the volume is by dragging the volume slider to the bottom, and there’s no quick way to return it to its previous level), previous channel, and similar functions, so it’s a step down from that standpoint. Hence only three stars.
By the way, while other reviewers claim that the app allowed them to cast to their TV via AirPlay or Chromecast, I did not find this to be the case. Perhaps my hotel didn’t enable this functionality or its TVs were not compatible with it? Here again, though, while this would be nice to have, the app doesn’t promise it, so I can’t fault it..Low ClearanceVersion: 1.0.0
App works perfectlyOnce you download the app and are connected to the hotel wifi you simply close the app and go to your app of choice on your phone. Once you select a program within Netflix for example that program will have a little rectangle box on it. Select the box and then select the chromecast option and the program will be mirrored on the TV..Computer anywhereVersion: 1.0.0
I thought it sucked at first tooBut then I read someone else’s review that explained how to make it work! I will say that the instructions were lacking in my hotel (Hyatt) and without coming to read reviews I would have literally never known how to do this.
1. Download the app
2. Connect to hotel wifi
3. Connect the app to the Google chromecast option on your tv
4. Once the app is connected and is functioning as a remote, leave the app and open your preferred streaming service app
5. Find what you want to watch and select the Cast icon and your TV will appear!!
I had to disconnect and reconnect once, but after that it worked great all week. Hope this helps someone else..Emzzy1118Version: 1.0.0
Absolutely does connectI feel like people who can’t connect are inept at following directions. Click “google chromecast” on your hotel tv guide and follow the directions closely. (They will ask you to join a specific WiFi). Then All you need to do is open a streaming app on your phone, and click the streamcast button. It really is that simple..ElysehollyVersion: 1.0.0
It worked for meI may be in the minority, but this worked for me. I was able to do what I was told - change the channel, change the volume, look at the guide. This was at a Hilton brand hotel. Connection was great.AdelleVersion: 1.0.0
Just whyHad to give it 5 stars because app works as intended but why?. Thought this was going to allow streaming to TV from connected device but it is just a remote..SemrehjVersion: 1.0.0
Does what it says, not much moreThis app uses your phone as a remote control as the description states. Do not expect casting, the app doesn’t claim to be. Look at your TV remote. Look at the app. Look at the TV remote. Same.
Three stars since it doesn’t add any value over the actual remote.
- no guide
- no mute
- no sleep timer
- not much faster switching channels than the remote
Only value-add is being able to see channel names and jump direct but still, very small value add. See those things on the remote, those are called “buttons”, there, now you don’t need your phone..MonocularJackVersion: 1.0.0
It’s annoying, but does the job.It all really depends on the TV and the limits it has. Hotel I’m in only has so many channels, and the app is just a quicker way to change from channel to channel. The TV I’m using doesn’t have the chromecast option to stream, so now I’m being forced to watch Kelly Clarkson..SwiftErasVersion: 1.0.0
It works, butThis app is FINE, but it’s only a remote control, as the description says. Some TVs also have a Chromecast feature, some TVs don’t, but that has nothing to do with this app..RyonVersion: 1.0.0

EhhWorked for a while but after a while couldn’t finish an hour long episode without it crashing every 5 minutes. On two different phones.JoMammaIsSexyVersion: 1.0.0
User experience of a stripped screwThe other reviews are accurate and mostly summarize the issues, but let channel my inner amateur QA. Download the app, connect, change the volume from default. Close the app, reopen it. The volume slider returns to default (my room's TV was 50% of the max volume). My condolences if this happens, and on reopening the app your finger slips and loses contact with your phone screen before an attempt to lower the volume. At this point, you've woken up everyone in your hotel room. As you frustratingly try to set the volume to the prior snafu value, 20, you realize that trying to set the volume to value 20 with the app actually is not possible. The most granular increments you can set are 21 or 19. Obviously a non issue usually... apparently this is a forbidden volume level and swiping in the toggle will to try to get to that volume level drops you at 21 or 19. Obviously, this would normally not be a big deal, but combining it with the previous observation along with the expectation that THE REMOTE APP SHOULD FUNCTION THE SAME AS THE REMOTE (for reference, none of the issues described applied when using the physical remote), has resulting in myself writing this overly verbose review.
tl;dr Unless you have literally lost the physical TV remote in your hotel room, there is literally no benefit to installing this app.IcantbelieveivedonethisVersion: 1.0.0
I would rather rip out my eyelashes than use this remoteI’m am appalled. As Tyra Banks said “ i cannot give you a zero so I will give you a one.” I went in blind to this app thinking I would be able to cast something on my hotel tv, however I was thoroughly mistaken. It turns out it’s a low budget remote. It had like five HBOs I didn’t even know there were five HBOs. I turned the channel accidentally to a horror movie and the tv conveniently disconnected the device so I couldn’t change it. I was scared. What’s more is the logo for this app is a carbon copy of the Peloton logo. I smell copyright infringement. All this to say I will unfortunately not be casting my real housewives of Orange County onto said hotel tv and I will be taking my money, tears, and dedication elsewhere. Thank you and that is all for my Ted talk..I couldn’t watch my HousewivesVersion: 1.0.0
Why does this existThis app is the most misleading thing I’ve ever had the misfortune of downloading. The hotel tv and description said it would allow me to “control the tv with my phone”, which I obviously thought meant I could broadcast and mirror my phone to the tv. Instead it turned out to be a mobile remote. Just use the remote! I don’t see the point of this, and I wish they could make it clearer that it’s just a remote in your phone..TraceyHopkinsVersion: 1.0.0
Doesn’t do what TV says it canThe TV says you can access your account and you can check out of your hotel and some additional features but all it is is the remote. Obviously, it says it on the description on the app but the only reason I only search the app to download it is because the TV said it can control the TV and access the account with the hotel. There’s not even an option on here to do that..716DCVersion: 1.0.0
No senseIt just doesn’t make any sense at all, why if I can connect to a phone over wifi am I not able to stream content from my phone, I understand it’s a small leap from the way this works now but it is actually functionally useless otherwise, you cannot access the thing that lets you use your phone as a remote, without a remote. So you get less control for more effort, brilliant.Minecraft kixxVersion: 1.0.0
This app is terrible and so misleading. Never getting this again.So I was in my hotel room, trying to connect this app to a show app. All it is, is a list of channels. Not even the schedule for the shows. Like, it’s leaving me with nothing to do. I’m trying to watch my own shows and not live tv. I can’t even connect to the tv. Even the Wi-Fi can’t connect to the tv and get me the CORRECT hotel room number..SkkkkeetVersion: 1.0.0
Literally JUST a remote.If you’re paying for a hotel, why wouldn’t you have a remote to the tv, and if you don’t, call the front desk and get a new remote. This app literally just lets you turn the tv on/off, change channels, and control the volume. That’s it. No casting capability. I type this as I have a functioning tv remote next to me, therefore making this app completely useless..MG9981Version: 1.0.0
This app is terrible. Do not downloadI stayed at a hotel and it said to use this app to connect my phone to the tv. When I did I was not able to stream anything all I could do is turn the tv on/off and Change the volume. Then when I went to delete the app I find out that the app won’t let me delete it; it doesn’t even show up in my apple apps In my settings. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!!.Booger515Version: 1.0.0
Literally doesn’t workThe app supposedly allows you to cast content to your hotel tv but it has never worked at any hotel I’ve stayed at.

Terrible!I tried to follow directions on my tv and some intrusions in reviews but couldn’t get it to work or find google chrome cast anywhere on my tv.

DumbHave never had a problem casting before this. It doesn’t cast. None of the descriptions of the good reviews work (had already tried them).
And, why pay $5/day to cast content you already paid for onto a screen? It felt like a rip-off to begin with, even if it worked, and then it didn’t work..QwertyAzPoiVersion: 1.0.0
Did not workTried to stream from my iPad to hotel. It did not work at all. The hotel room screen went black. Tried quite a bit of troubleshooting to no avail. Now I’m paranoid that this is a scam to steal personal data from everyone’s computers when they try to connect. 😣😣.Hugs 🤗Version: 1.0.0

What They Say is TrueNo casting abilities. Worthless use of an app, because the room remote is enough. If you’re going to make a remote app, make it so that you can cast to the TV. Whoever said it does cast, that’s not the case for everyone else. This was for Hilton hotel. Would not recommend at all..BeccaBayeVersion: 1.0.0
Scam - Do not waste your timeVery simply, this app does not allow you to cast your media apps on the tv. The other reviewers saying it does must work for or own the app. This app is garbage. It is a remote only and your room should already have one of those..Appleuser11119999Version: 1.0.0

No ChromecastThis app functions as a remote for the most part. However, the Chromecast functionality is non-existent. It did not work on either of our TVs at the Fairmont. At $2K a night (twice as much as the Hyatt), they can’t even get Chromecast to work in this janky app..David.88Version: 1.0.0
