Too many ads before you can even get started. Directions for set up are vague and in poorly translated English, and many models are unsupported, and yes this needs to load a config file for your TV and not for a remote, which is bonkers since manufacturers use the same remote for multiple tvs. Either way, 7 ads before I could find out the app doesn't work for my TV. That's messed up.

Just downloaded the app. Luckily, there were only there remote models for my TV brand. However, I tried all of them, but none of them worked. Also, an ad plays between every single screen, which got annoying pretty fast. I understand the need for as income, but make sure your app works first before you pilfer other people's money.

WAY too many ads. Ads would pop up every time I selected a different tv model. Was trying to find one that would work with my tv, seeing how it is a newer tv and not yet listed. It's a shame, because it seems like such a simple, nice looking remote. To the developer, I recommend an ad free setup process. Then bring in the ads AFTER the remote is configured with the tv or device.

I haven't even used it yet. It's setup to immediately tell me to rate it with all five stars before I've even clicked once for the T.V. Must be why the good rating.

It just wouldn't work! Most of these tv remotes don't work.. I had to uninstall my remote because Google uses most of my phone storage with apps I can't use, & no option to uninstall! Like 14google apps and I can't install more than 2 or 3 at a time! Grrrrr Most remote apps USED TO detect a remote that works for your tv, after you select your model (Samsung for me) Not anymore! It's ridiculous! Used to scroll through a few options, after selecting the model. Until one worked.. Used to take a minute or two at most..

Far too many adds, alsp when you get it working, finally. It's bombard you with adds again and jambs up again. Nice try though

While the app does detect and recognise my TVs (unlike many other apps I tried), the remote itself doesn't work. I tried raising and lowering volume, muting, turning off two different TVs, etc... but none of the commands worked. There are also way too many ads. I understand that the app is free, but the type of ads and the way they're placed are making its usage (if it worked I mean) very disadvantageous.

Finding the correct remote for my TV is a nightmare. No easy way to go through the list at all. Basically trial and error and having to re scroll through the insane list to my TV brand EVERY TIME. I don't have any reasonable way of knowing which remote in a random list of files named something seemingly arbitrary is the correct one. Nice effort but definitely needs work in the usability area.

Don't feel lonely, this isn't the only bad review I've had to leave this morning. Easy to download easy to select your TV multiple to choose from. Mine was Emerson it it didn't give you any code no way to hook up to it. it allows you to choose between four types of remotes within that Emerson Choice. Tried two neither worked I don't have time to mess with it.

Absymal , how do you even make money off an app like this , oh yeah the constant ads hitting your face every two seconds ....the ads that even if you had a decent working app (you don't ) would still be enough of disturbance to my experience that I would uninstall your app based upon that alone . Half of your remotes don't work , ads are intrusive ....horrible app

This app has so many adds that I had to give it one star. Not only are you getting 1 add for every 3 tries to sync but i tried 139 different channels for the TV and it was an add for every 3 tries. It turned a simple sync into a dreadful experience. Some adds aren't kid friendly, another 1 star. It never found a channel to sync to my TV. Another 1 star.

I could cope with the ads if it worked for my TV. Another person rated this a one because of the frustrations they encountered with finding their remote through the vast selections and the massive ads, but I tried it any way because ads don't bother me so much. They were mostly pop ups that could be quickly closed and a couple 5 second ads. My brand of tv only had 4 remote selections so it was easy to test each one. Except NONE of them worked! Sad.

Garbage. Ads up the (you know what) and it doesn't work. You are asked to choose your tv brand and then you have to pick what tv remote you have (from a list of about 60+). Goodluck! Tried a few of the remote models and they didn't work so I uninstalled. You'll have etter luck (and less time invested) with an actual universal remote for $15.

Pain. Absolutely aweful. The app asks for a 5-star review before you've even installed and tested the first remote. (BIG red flag!!) The ads are EVERYWHERE!!!!! There may have been an option to pay for ad free version, and I did briefly look for it, but I got so disgusted with it, so quickly I deleted it shortly after installing it. Run away, find something better. This sucks.

Can't tell if it works. To many ads before setting up. TV model starts with a "T". Have to scroll to the TV brand then through each particular option under the tv brand. Tried 6 different options with ads popping up between each click. Many of the 4 star ratings appear to be for an older version. Current version can't tell if the ap actually works.

Life Saver I just got an old TV from my friend and she said she lost both remotes of the Roku express and the TV. I didn't try it with the TV but it worked with the Roku!! The problem is even the Roku app cannot control the device if it's not already connected to the WiFi. So this little app just saved me time and effort to buy a new remote!!

Very little in the way of instructions. Choosing Sony as the TV brought up a huge list of TV or remote models (was not clear) None of which matched the Sony TV model i have. Maybe 6 or 7 ads or prompts to download other apps within the 5 min i used the app. There does seem to be a huge number of models listed which the only reason im giving it 2 stars instead of 1
