Universal Remote | Smart TV

Maybe it’s not necc fair to give the app a 1 star rating bc the rating is more for those who came up with this brilliant idea. Let me explains…let me just say this..I was looking for a remote to use with my phone bc I’m tired of the batteries going dead or my Samsung tv remote unsyncing itself at times but when I went to try this app I was truly shocked!!!! U know why? So let me ask yall reading this right now, when was the last time YOUUU OR ANYONE ON THIS PLANET, HAD TO PAY 6.99 a WEEEEEEK to use your tv remote or any remote for that matter??? paying that a month would be insane but even more insane PER WEEK!!! What??? You want to charge me 7 bucks a week to use a tv remote which back in the day before this “let’s charge everyone a subscription” train started, would have cost me 3.99 or 4.99 to either just permanently have the app or maybe even for free ( those were the good ol’ days) Look, I get it, I know that developers need to make money for the apps they create they have people they have to pay but I’m curious at one point in y’all’s business meeting did someone say “ohhhh let’s charge people 7 bucks a week to use our remote app even if they can use the one that came with their tv for free??? And some big wig said “GREAT OMG FASCINATING IDEA!! Let’s do it guys. Let’s create a subscription to charge people willing to pay 7 bucks a week rather than use their original remote for free. I think I’ll stick to buying batteries bc at least 7 bucks worth of batteries would LAST ME A LONGGGG time before I have to spend yet another 6-7 bucks for more batteries again. I’m not one to dog people for their creative hard work. I’m sure doing this kind of work takes time and effort in putting an app together, but man, truly charging people 7 bucks a week to use something they can use for free using their own remote. So I have a question folks, what would yall say if you went to Bestbuy, target ..ect and bought a tv and the sales person said “remotes don’t come with tvs anymore you have to purchase a subscription of 7 bucks a week to use one. Do you say oh that’s nothing a week. It’s one drink at Starbucks or would u be having a fit at the store that you had to pay not only for a remote to your tv but a weekly charge at that??? The audacity…smh

What an absolute joke. Trying to set up the app for the first time and it automatically tries to get you to sign up for $6.99 per week (which I accidentally did). Very scummy and borderline scamming.

Question is it FREE?

Buttons don’t work once off Home Screen, then the pause button cuts on and off so it won’t play without pause constantly

My son thoroughly lost the remote so I downloaded this. First off $6.99 a week?!?!?! That’s more than streaming services! That’s more than going out and buying a universal remote! That’s a asinine amount! Just charge a flat fee to buy it or a TINY monthly fee! That’s more than my cable company charges for a remote! Secondly, I couldn’t even use it! There is one button on my tv, under the tv so you can’t even see it. The first thing that happens is my tv asks me to approve the device, but the single button on my tv doesn’t do that. I’ve tried pressing and holding or quickly pressing it, nothing works to approve the app so I can’t even use it. To get it working I would actually have to have my remote … which defeats the purpose!

If you need a remote for 3 days (the 3 day free trial) by all means. It will not work after that. 😂

It’s $7/week and you need a remote the set it up. If you’ve lost your remote and are trying to replace it this is a lame option.

As a developer myself, i can NOT recommend this app to anyone. You have to pay to use all features on a very simple app. Note this price is about 300x more expensive than a physical remote long term. If you are using this app I would only recommend the trial, nothing else.

Awesome

This app is very scammy and took advantage of my handicapped brother who somehow got signed up for an insane weekly subscription fee.
