Sam : tv remote Positive Reviews
Update to past reportImprovement. The remote works again. Not sure why it sporadically works, but now it does. Also, because I deleted it in an attempt to fix it, the ads came back because I essentially deleted the first download. However, the creator responded to my emails, and provided with information to restore my “no ads” purchase. It’s simple: go to search screen within the remote app, hit the menu button at the top left, and then simply scroll down to the “restore purchase.”
So far it works.
The remote app has been sporadically working, so I think it’s a WiFi thing. The creator responded to me, so thank you very much for that.
It’s working and the ads are gone. Awesome!.DemocrapssukVersion: 3.7
Way to many adds!This free version of the remote works great even with the extreme amount of adds. I noticed a handful of one star reviews for the only reason being “to many Adds” If your to cheap to spend a few bucks for the add free experience don’t rate the app poorly because of it. The developers have to get paid just like any body else they are not doing Charity work so that you can have an awesome remote for your 65” $4k TV! I am a free user so I wait for the short 1s-7s add you don’t even have to watch the whole add you can click skip! This is the only remote that works Fully with my Samsung I’ve tried others but always come back to this one. It’s easy to connect click find your tv then click enter bottom with keyboard on your tv and it works. The paid version is hands down worth it because you get the add free experience lol but you get the cool keyboard typing option so you don’t have to click and arrow to each letter when searching. And it’s easier to turn tv off and on you don’t have to click find my tv every time you turn your tv off for a minute. This is my longest review of a free app ever I was just to appalled by the one star reviews because of adds. So many people expect so much for north it’s crazy thanks for making a free version available.FljewlerysellerVersion: 4.1.2
A must buyI have give thanks for this app I tried other apps and they either don’t work or asking too much for a remote and subscription with this remote I use all my functions it doesn’t matter if I get off the remote app to go do something else I can get back on this app and it works fine I do say this is a must purchase so you don’t have a problem of theApps the only thing that I would highly recommend is like a touch search button that you can use when you’re surfing the web other than that it’s remote does everything except trying to search the web on your TV those other Remotes that are out there might look better or say they do better and even have the touch remote so you can use Like a mouse when you surf the web trust me I’ve tried them they do not work thanks for looking at my review.Theonly100Version: 4.0
WAY too many pop up addsI’ve downloaded/used a few different remotes. This one by far has the most amount of pop up adds per remote clicks. They allow you 3-5 remote clicks before an app pops up and interrupts you. It makes using the remote extremely annoying and takes twice as long to get anything done. This is especially annoying when you’re trying to search a movie/show on Netflix or any other streaming service… it literally takes me on average a good 5 mins to punch in a movie/show title. I get that it’s free, but I use another free universal remote for my Vizio tv that has ZERO pop up adds. Still trying to find a free, add free remote for my Samsung tv… in the mean time this one is annoying, but works..
I gave it 3 stars because the remote itself works well. I’ve never had any problems with glitching. Only issue I have is the frequent pop up adds..Jackierodriguez44Version: 4.0
OK I want to update my reviewI remember paying for this app well over I think it was 4 years ago and the price was around 14 bucks and now they switch to a subscription base with ads? the app itself barely works anymore and this is what they do to folks who payed? If you have a Samsung TV, just use the official Samsung app is app is ridiculous now.
It’s better now because I received a message from the developers and they told me all I have to do is to restore purchase, so if anyone’s viewing this review, disregard the first paragraph and read this one, if you are a person who bought this app years ago and it’s showing you some subscription purchases, All you have to do is go to the settings and click on restore purchase..ZwilncxVersion: 4.1
BACK TO BEING GREAT!!UPDATE: The developer reached out to me and instructed me on how to remove the ads / pop ups. It appears that the app is back to being a 5 star app!! Thank you for the great customer service!!
I purchased this app for a flat fee a couple of years ago, and it worked great! Now with the updates, they changed it into a ridiculous, expensive subscription! It is almost impossible to use with all the pop-up ads now. You would think I would’ve been grandfathered into the subscription since I paid a flat fee when the developer first created the app. So much for taking care of their original customers..MissMyAndroid17Version: 4.1.2
Purchase doesn’t transfer devicesThe app works great for my needs. I did purchase the app to remove ads and it works great. However, the purchased app doesn’t transfer to my iPad which uses the same Apple ID, and so when I upgrade my phone I suspect my purchase will be lost. I’m not happy about that, hence I deducted a star, although I won’t go lower than 4 because it is a good app.
VERY disappointed about the paid version not transferring though..Jazzy-jeffVersion: 4.0
Worth the "Add Removal" Fee!My Samsung remote, for some odd reason, interferes and works (with no clear direction) on my 2 Black+Decker tower fans. It shuts them off, changes all the settings, and does it with every other click of the remote sometimes. And, I lost the fan remote, so now we have to keep resetting them. Also, just…not losing the remote, and sometimes I’ll forget to power off the TV, or decide it’s bedtime and don’t feel like going back into the living room to shut off the TV… it shuts off from other rooms just using the app. Worth the purchase..PileOfGoldVersion: 4.0
Stop complaining if you are using for free weirdosSo far the people I’ve seen that complains are the ones that have ads running. If you are using for free, deal with it. $8 is nothing for a permanent wifi remote you essentially never have to replace. No annoying batteries. Although the wifi connection does “reset” sometimes and if you’ve lost your remote you can simply use your tv button to press yes when pairing is required. I’ve had this for 6 years and it’s always been my best friend when i can’t find my remote..Tin Nguyen OMFGGGVersion: 4.0
Better than Samsung app by far but needs workI like the features of this app. However one big issue I have is if I turn the TV off with the real Samsung remote (not this app nor the Samsung app), I cannot turn on the TV with this app. One main reason for this app is to use it if you lose or misplace your remote. This needs to be fixed ASAP. If you cannot time on the tb with the app, it defeats the purpose of it. The app will work if the tv is turned on already either manually or with the real remote. If I turn off the TV with the app, it seems to turn on fine afterwards. The Roku TVs and apps behave correctly. This one doesn’t with the power on scenario just described..PorchfanVersion: 3.6
Good appMy remote broke so I downloaded this ap and I’ve been using it and haven’t even replaced my remote once you connect it’s like a remote in your phone and the ads have never been a problem to me there’s only 1 every few touches or minutes but still the app is a good one I haven’t even needed my remote fixed or replaced yet “and it’s really fun to mess with people just connect to there WiFi and access the app to there tv and your rolling laugh out loud, “good app 9/10.David-cool100Version: 3.7
Decent appStores apparently don’t carry company specific remotes anymore and I really needed a remote. Downloaded the app the ads were literally every 5 seconds so I bought ad free. I needed a remote and it was only $6. Ad free works ok I’ve noticed that after I’ve been in the app too long or pressed a few too many buttons at the same time (change the channel then turn up the volume) I have to leave the app, come back then the buttons will work again. Idk if it’s a connection issue or what but every 7 clicks or so, I have to leave the app and come back for the buttons to work..Leilani……Version: 3.7
OMG the AdsThe other reviews are not exaggerating. I rarely download an app then wonder what in the world did I get myself into!? but that’s my experience with this app. It works great, thrilled with it for the first 30 seconds—then the ads started. They interrupt your intended actions in the app all the time. And not just pop up ads, they are videos that start playing audio while you’re trying to watch your favorite show....totally beyond the most annoying app I’ve come across. So promising as a great app, what a shame that the insane drive for ad revenue ruins it. Uninstalled in the first 10 minutes.NWBobStuVersion: 3.7
Paid for No Ads and then the remote stopped workingSo, the remote works but you are inundated with pop-up ads. They’re constant.
But since the remote worked well enough, I figured it was worth it to pay the fee to have the ads stop. Welp, it worked the first time I used it and then the remote no longer connected to my TV. I tried over and over across multiple days. I removed the app and downloaded it again, now with ads, and it’s working fine again. Pretty annoying..Kt shaydVersion: 4.0
There's a paid versionI previously gave this app 1 star because the ads were so annoying. After playing around with the app I found out that you can upgrade the app for a fee to remove the ads. I would of give it 5 stars but I decided to take away one star because the developer should make it simple to upgrade. I notice that many people leaving their review are complaining about the ads..DROCK161Version: 3.3
It works every time but there are adsYou have to “scan” for your TV pretty much each time you use it. Once it finds your TV (IP address), you select your TV and the app allows you to control your TV. HOWEVER, an ad pops up after tapping a button (volume, channel, etc.) about 5 times. There is a way around this though; e.g. tapping and holding the volume button turns up the volume without an ad popping up..Benjaminallred77Version: 4.0
HandyThis is a simple and handy app. To get the best experience I would pay the fee. It costs less than a physical remote and your phone most likely will not get lost compared to a TV remote. Best part is, if you lose your phone you can transfer everything over to a new device on iOS. So your remote virtually can never be lost. Works great with kids as well. No more worrying about them messing with the remote controls..DVuong16Version: 3.5
Fantastic!My kids are always losing the remote so this is a lifesaver for us! Works great every time, with never an issue. Yes there are a lot of ads (one pops up about every 6 clicks), but the app only costs $6 - that’s less than half the price of a physical remote, so I think it’s worth it. People always want something for nothing, forgetting that labor costs money. So stop writing bad reviews because you’re too cheap to pay for something!.Shadeflower-mamabeeVersion: 3.4
Maybe it’s meI downloaded app and within the first minute or so I had maybe 4 pop up ads. For me, I have a new 50” Samsung with Samsung sound bar/subwoofer. When I connected the app to the TV via same WiFi segment the volume wouldn’t work. I feel like this app is probably really great. But for me my attention span is too short to dig further. I’m it’s sure is me.... I rated a 3 because of initial functionality test and too many pop ups or pop ups too quick. By all means download and try. Lots of people have and seem to be extremely happy..TomBagliniVersion: 3.7
Counterintuitive to say the leastApp works perfectly after it’s completely set up. However, in order to use it initially the TV will asks to “Allow” or “Deny” the app. It makes perfect sense for this to happen no doubt. What doesn’t make sense is having to use the physical remote control to answer the question.
My daughter accidentally broke my remote and I figured I’d use the app in the meantime but I had to experimentally fix the real remote in order to use this app. But if I have the real remote why would I need to use this app?!.Ahmad SumadiVersion: 3.7
Works well, but need alphanumeric keyboard featureI was able to quickly pair with my neighbor’s tv when visiting their house and learning they had lost their remote control. Works great, but I wasn’t thrilled when going to Netflix and having to use the arrow controls to pick one letter at a time instead of having an alphanumeric keyboard available to type the name of the movie with. It doesn’t make sense for that feature to be missing..Brad4GodVersion: 3.7
On button doesn’t workI downloaded this app, to find out that the on button doesn’t work. I paid to keep the ads off. There is no spot for logging on and off of the app. There’s no place to email for support. I would like to delete and reinstall the app so worried and I would have to pay to stop the ads again. I was also hoping I could run more than one television with this app..WelspiderVersion: 3.5
Great app, but the ADs rendered it DOA on arrival.Could the ads be anymore annoying!? 3 ads within 30 secs of trying to use the freakin app! Jesus Christ! Haven’t had an app get me this annoyed in a while.
If I received an ad occasionally, like a casual nudge once every 5 mins or so would be a bit more reasonable and even respectful. But 3 ads every 30 secs is begging to be paid awfully annoying!
Take your app back. I uninstalled it..DeftGuruVersion: 3.5
Reliable...like using the original remoteMost apps I have tried keep disconnecting and I would have to reconnecting to my tv every time I use it I love that this app stays connected even after days of not using it...also can use it to control my PlayStation when using it on my Samsung tv.

Love This Amazing, Cool AppI reached out to the developer of this app because of an issue I had and he messaged me on the same day and we resolved my problem. This app is awesome and I no longer have a need for my clunky old remote... I just use my iPhone or my iPad, whichever is more convenient. This app is slick, I love it, and the developer is accessible and very responsive to any issues users have. Five stars from me! Thanks so much!.Coolest App Ever!!! -DavidVersion: 3.1
You still need the actual remote to use itI had to download this because my dog chewed up the remote. I didn’t realize you had to actually use the remote in order to connect the TV to your phone. Luckily we were able to play with it a little and could connect it, but if your remote is lost or completely broken there’s no way you can connect your phone. Kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion. Also all the ads are annoying. Other than that the app is super helpful..NovacelineVersion: 3.7

WORK DARN ITThis app is AMAZING when it’s actually working that is. It disconnects and never reconnects to my TV again, the enter button will just randomly stop working and the ONLY thing that will help is to delete and reinstall the darn thing.

Sam : tv remote Negative Reviews
Unbelievable deceit and greedI downloaded this app in 2020, paid the one time payment to permanently remove ad, and everything seemed to work smoothly. 2021, for security reasons, I had to create a new iCloud account, downloaded the app again, and just as the first time, I paid to remove ads permanently. 2023, I try to use the app, and I see back to ads. Oh no big deal, I think, let me just restore my purchase. Ok, nothing seems to be out of order, at first, then as I try to connnect the app to my tv, I caught drift of how they essentially will screw over people who had made the one time payment. So I see in these reviews they keep saying “hi, just restore purchase” but that’s just their way of mediating their duplicitous nature and appearing to honor the deal with the customers who have paid that one time fee. But that is as far as the honor it. Just telling you to restore it, but that doesn’t do anything. Sure the ads are removed, but lacks functionality. When trying to connect, you won’t be able to. It will suggest you download their “universal control app” every time you try to connect. Even Samsung devices this message will appear and will only take you to the App Store to download it, or dismiss the pop up message to remain disconnected. This universe app, of course, is subscription based. No one time payment. No honor. Just scummy vultures fueled by greed, avoiding to take accountability for the actions derived from their undeniable greed. Unbelievable..AlmadigVersion: 4.1.2
Ads and more adsTo start off, when I first downloaded the app it connected to my Tv just fine... the only reason I need this is because I haven’t seen the actual controller in like a year.
And because it was easy to connect it gets an extra star, because from the reviews I’ve seen on other controllers, weren’t happy about connecting it.
This app would be perfect... if it didn’t have ads. I get it that you need to make money and it’s free to download, but $6?! You can get rid of ads on Tetris for $5.
This is a TV controller.
Tetris is a free video game and it has less ads than this.
I believe that a TV controller should have little to no ads because who needs them. As I said, it’s a controller. You’re supposed to be turning up the volume not clicking out of ads.
Another complaint is how slow the buttons click, not too much of a bother for me but it still is annoying. I’ll tap the volume button 5 times and it’ll turn it up by 2 (then pops up an ad).
My recommendation, if you want a decent controller, honestly, go buy an actual one.
But if you don’t really care about advertisements that have nothing to do with their $6 to have freedom from a random app. Then download this.
It’s not that bad, without ads, my only complaint is that if you want to turn it up higher you have to wait about 2 seconds for every tap. Which is easy to get used to.._TruthSerum_Version: 3.5
WAYYYYY TOO MANY ADSI literally downloaded this because it got great reviews and occasionally I can’t find my remote. Functionality is excellent of this app, but I’m about to delete it off my phone quicker than I downloaded it. I understand the occasional ad, but this app is EXCESSIVE. It took me so long to get to my Netflix account because I got there and an ad popped up, ok fine. Ad over, I hit the arrow over because my account is the 4th one on the screen, I hit it one over and another ad, then I go over another one, another ad, it literally popped an ad for each account as I scrolled over. Then I get into my account and I tried to scroll through to find something to watch… Again, each time I moved the arrow one space, an ad popped, and another and another. So in other words unless you want to see an add literally every time you push a button on this remote, don’t download this..Mmcmillin1981Version: 4.0
Cannot subsequently connect to TVI downloaded this app and even paid almost $10 for it to remove ads. In the first instance, it does show PIN on the TV and can connect to Samsung TV. In just about a week or so, for no rhyme or reason, it stops recognizing the TV. In an attempt to reconnect, it keeps flashing pin on the TV and the pin entry dialog box on the app keeps appearing and disappearing before I can even enter, any one of the pin numbers being repeatedly shown on TV. I then uninstalled the app, reinstalled it. In the first Instance, it did handshake with the TV, but then again, after a week or so it kept flashing pin on the TV with the pin dialog box on the app of appearing and disappearing again and again. frustrated, I uninstall the app and send an email to the developer for money refund. No one has responded to me. I shall now take the issue up directly with Apple. Poorly designed app, not worth it..InnovativeDocVersion: 4.4
Borderline unusable — just buy a remoteAs a remote this app is functional — if you can handle pressing one button every 7-10 seconds in between pop up ads. From turning on my TV to opening Netflix, I saw the same advertisement six separate times. It pops up and the “close ad” button moves around the screen to make it difficult to consistently press. Additionally, the app forces you to watch the advertisement for 5-10 seconds before allowing you to skip.
The developer has succeeded in prompting me to finally buy a new remote. Thank you. I don’t know why these companies decided to advertise on this aggravating app — it’s one of those situations where you swear to never buy their products out of spite. As I think of it, this is the first review I’ve written in forever — and the only reason is because this app has irritated me to such an extent..Topher2692Version: 4.0
STOP! Don’t downloadI have NEVER written a review. Good or bad. This app is by far the worst app I’ve ever experienced and I hope someone reads this and looks elsewhere.
My remote broke and I needed something in the mean time so I downloaded this app. I can only press one button before an ad pops up. One button. Then after that I think I get 7 to 8 touches before another ad pops up. It’s always ads. Constantly. They never stop. Want it to stop? Pay $6. $6 isn’t that much you say? The physical remote is $10!!!! I have never seen so many ads on an app before. Sitting though traffic in NYC would be more appealing than when you rewind and oh hey look, an ad! Have to go back to where I was now and when you finally get there, boom another ad!
This is the worst app in the App Store. Hands down. I wish there were negative stars so we could get this thing canceled.
WORST APP EVER..BobopoVersion: 3.7
Terrible, do not get, you are better off just using the remoteFirst of all, THIS THING WILL NOT WORK AT ALL IT WORKED FOR A DAY THEN IT STOPPED WORKING! Second, this has nothing but adds, every time you will press a button, an add will appear out of nowhere! I thought my life was saved but it was worse! My Samsung remote lost its button recently so my mom went to this app and it was worse than before. We bought a new remote and today it stopped working. I was just watching TV then I went over to my remote to change the channel but it won’t work. This all happened after I got the app. Usually I give apps a better review but this app is terrible and this will take control of your TV and make your life worse, like what it did to me. I do not recommend this app at all! If the developer of this app is reading this, please respond and make this app better! Thank you!.Kittywolfgirl2000Version: 3.7
UnfortunateThe advertisements are completely out of control. There are videos with sound that you can't exit out of until you watch a given amount of the ad first. When switching from another app to the Sam remote it will initially display the remote screen before reloading another advertisement which leads to clicking on the screen only to be hijacked to the advertisement's webpage. When you come back from that advertisement to open use the remote you GET ANOTHER AD!!!! It is incredibly annoying.
I'd prefer to pay for an app like this since a replacement physical remote is prohibitively expensive, but I'm guessing the greedy developers make more money from this kind of blitzkrieg advertising than they would charging for the app. Reminds me of the Black Mirror episode 15 million merits..ClassicalManVersion: 2.2
Unbearably intrusive ads- makes it impossible to use RemoteI have never ever witnessed such an obnoxious use of ads. They come like machine gun bullets, one after the other. In one minute you can get a dozen. And they force you to stay there for a long time, disrupting your ability to use the remote. Ridiculously greedy from the App developer. Ok, if you want to sustain yourself with ads, that is an acceptable bargain. But this is not that. It is badgering to force everyone away from ads to pay for the app. So then be honest and charge from the get go so people know what they are getting. If you don’t plan to pay for the premium ad feature, know it will be close to impossible to operate the remote because of the intrusive nature of the ads..Nyfoodlover007Version: 3.7
Terrible Since New UpdateThis app used to be pretty handy; I lost my remote over a year ago and have been using this app for my Samsung Smart tv ever since. Just a week ago there was a new update that turned this app into complete trash - every few button presses you get an ad that pops up and takes over the whole screen. Unless you’re constantly looking down at the buttons you’re pressing, you’ll get an ad redirecting you to some random website from just trying to turn up your volume or change the channel. They also added ads to the “scan” feature, so you’ve got to wait on an ad before you can even connect to your TV to be bombarded by ads. 0/10 - these devs killed their app for ad revenue.JoeyVW40Version: 3.0
Meh...I fell for the clean look and the promise of no ads! Well good look isn’t worth not being able to check an email or FB or any other thing while the remote is on. The program stops and it doesn’t just stop it goes back to main menu. Also, I probably could have lived with that but I paid $6.99 for no ads and when I deleted this remote to try another one and then came back there were ads again and so when I decided to give it another try there was no record of me paying the no ads fee. I looked over my whole phone and nothing. It’s just not worth the aggravation. App may look pretty but looks aren’t everything. Actually working well as it said it would is a necessity!.Ems1005Version: 3.7
LifeSaverApp works perfectly, efficiently, and EXTREMELY easy. Some idiot in another review complains about having to have both devices on WiFi - who in 2018 doesn’t have their phone on WiFi at home, and their SmartTV on WiFi also?!
Ads are annoying, but screw it just pay the $6 to own the app and they’re gone. Way cheaper and faster than buying a new remote, and it’s SO convenient. Most of us are already on our phones texting etc, now you can be EXTRA lazy and you don’t even have to pick up the remote to change the channel or hit Continue Watching while bingeing on Netflix lol... this is one App that truly deserves 5 stars.
It even has a option to help you buy a new remote if you really want a replacement lol. Bravo!.SDSRMPVersion: 2.2
Ruined By AdsFirst off, this app works great as a substitute for my lost Samsung remote. Easy to setup without any issues. The biggest complaint is the amount of ads that pop up literally every 30 seconds-one minute. I’m no stranger to pop ups and I’m normally pretty patient. I understand if the app is free I’ll have to put up with them or pay for the ad-free version. However, it’s insane how many there are. I’ve never encountered a free app with as many pop ups. It’s especially annoying as I’m going through a series of button presses and all of a sudden an ad appears.
I’m ready to ditch this and purchase a universal remote or switch to a different app. Lessen the amount of ads and this app would be much more useable..Tagia80Version: 3.5
Ads Ads Ads!I’ve used this app for a while and it’s always worked perfectly. My one reservation is that whenever I’d open the app, was idle for a while, or revisit the app from another app an advertisement would come up. It was understandable, it’s how they make money. But since the newest update there are now ads for every (about) 20 times you press a button on the remote! It is quite ridiculous if I’m trying to type something on my tv. Sometimes it may take 10 clicks to navigate to a single letter it gets ridiculous when 5+ ads come up when typing one title into the tv. Functionality definitely affected by the ads..Mike01091997Version: 3.0
UnresponsiveTotally and absolutely unresponsive with my Samsung MU6500 and my Samsung 4k Blu Ray player. NONE of the buttons work, even though it supposedly “detected” my TV and/or connection almost immediately. “And/or”? Yeah, because since touching those buttons have on my TV the same result as me tapping on a rock, I
Really cannot tell what was “detected”. To make matters worse, every other action you do triggers an app. I am VERY knowledgeable on HDTVs and all their peripherals, I probably know more about them than whoever “designed” this thing, so a NEWBIE I am not. There is no mistake on my part, this junk of an app doesn’t work and if you want nicer reviews get your $&$! together and DESIGN an app that at least WORKS. Unless “functionality” is too much to ask. Good day, Sir!.SacatetucoVersion: 2.2
Convenient... When it works.This app always has trouble connecting to my television even though both are on the same Wi-Fi network. I usually have to try five times and it finally works. You will spend most of your time trying to connect to your TV in frustration. Be warned.
Update months later... Still the same situation. I have to go through the same song and dance with the app every single time I load it. I try to connect four times finally says it connects on the fifth time but it is not really connected so then I have to try again and finally get it to connect for real on the sixth time and then it finally works. It gets really old.
Another update more months later:
I have figured out that it takes five attempts to connect the remote to Wi-Fi before it will give you notification that it has been connected but then you have to let it connect at least three times or it won’t actually be connected. It’s literally two minutes of cumbersome annoyance before watching my program each night. Balderdash..AracioppaVersion: 2.2
AdsThe app overall works well, but $6 to remove ads? Seems a bit ridiculous. My remote stopped working so until I got a new one I used the app. The app definitely made me go to the store sooner than later as I thought $6 to remove ads was quite outrageous. It wouldn’t be a problem if there wasn’t an add that popped up after every 5-10 taps of a button. Trying to search anything or even just turn up the volume is a multi-minute project because of the ads which typically are videos that last up to 10 seconds. Seriously, these ads shouldn’t be a thing for something like this. Disappointed..Hunt0987Version: 3.7
Barely functionalIt doesn’t make sense to have ads pop up on the iphone when your’re busy watching the tv screen! Really??? Conclusion: The functionality of this thing not very well thought out during development of app, but then again, its free so you ‘git’ what you paid for and so don’t pitch a ‘fit’ !!! Why not just charge your fee upfront and forget ads, then the app dev’s would get better scores!!! If searching for an app like this one returns negative reviews for a no download then the advertisers don’t get exposure anyway! (Think about that sales logic!) Rule: Users don’t mind paying a reasonable app fee if the app gets good reviews up front!! 🤔.Mlo166_yahoo-comVersion: 3.7
More ads than ever beforeThis app was okay up until recently...before it had a few pop up ads before using and sometimes it was hard to detect the tv which was fine as long as you scanned tvs...but now there are way way way too many ads and pop ups while using the remote...every 5 seconds a pop up ad would appear and it would take a long time before you could exit the ad and continue using the remote ! Ridiculous...i get how ads make money but seriously every 5 seconds ? It used to not be like this...also every time i use the remote i have to constantly scan to look for the tv every time i want to use it !.IloveappleappleVersion: 3.0
Remote Control AppI paid months ago for no adds, you took my money, yet, still no response from customer service! My tv is 5 feet away, yet it picks up the tv on the floor above me (my other apps work fine with my tv. I hate to give bad, nasty reviews without speaking to customer service first, it doesn’t seem fair. But, you will honor my purchase, apparently to not care about your customers, and will respond to my requests for help or a refund. And don’t tell me it is too late, because I have a time stamped message asking for assistance. Thank you. I Bhopal if you purchase this app you are aware of “absence of customer service” I sure COVID doses not cause this amount of disrespect..Get'em Tiger'sVersion: 3.7
Absurd that u have to pay and limits the amount of downloadsThis app works great but it’s absurd after paying hundreds of dollars for a tv I have to pay for the remote. I have multiple TVs 4 to be exact and I can’t use the remotes that came with the TVs because they work all 4 TVs at the same time. The app allows ,e to work the TVs separately but if I bought 4 Samsung tvs including an 82” why does Samsung need 6.99 from me. Also, I did pay the one time fee but u can only use the ad free access on 6 devices then u need to pay again if u have more devices. Everyone in my family uses their own device to work the TVs when they r watching so now I have to pay an additional 6.99. Absurd!!!!.Ethan reviewVersion: 3.7
Did not work for meI wanted an alternative to my tv remote so I downloaded. Upon set-up, I learned that both my phone and my tv had to be set up to the same network. That’s not a problem.
My tv was set-up with a writer connection and my phone was on the same internet connection. However, the tv could not be found. I then set-up the tv with a witless connection, but it could still not be found.
I don’t know if this is an isolated incident, but upon looking at previous reviews, it seems to work well with other users, hence it did not receive a 1 star. However, the ads do seem mildly annoying..NavarrosntgVersion: 3.5
The adsI down loaded this ap because my dog has eaten 2 remotes. The ads are ridiculous. Sometimes they aren’t that bad, and then other times they come on every time you push a button and last 5 seconds. The same annoying one over and over and over…
When you’re trying to fast forward or rewind to a certain spot and you can’t stop because you’re waiting for the ad to end it’ll drive you crazy.
I understand the ads pay for the free service but this is crazy. And to remove them they want $9. Nothing about this ap is worth that!.1997Jestwr1979Version: 4.0
Works with a lot of effortSure it pairs easily to the tv. Sure it works when it’s paired. After pushing 4-5 buttons in a row, and yes that includes hitting the volume button 4+ times or the channel button 4+ times then you get an ad. Sure the ad is only a few seconds long but for me, and I’m by no means technologically deficient, I have to pair the device again. It works but it’s annoying. Hey someone in another post said just pay the 6$ to get rid of the ads. JUST 6$!? Compared with other apps that is an astronomical price. There’s more options out there.

We can tell you’re making money now. We get it.The app used to be fine and I would have no problem with all the ads. It’s what you get when you download a free app. You adjust. Recently after their update I noticed, like many others, an influx of ads and some buttons no longer work without purchase. The layout of the app did not change, I should have gotten incredibly appealing as the ads/pop ups have.
All in all the ads and pop ups should have been lack luster and the app itself should have been upgraded..Aij97Version: 4.4
