Ratings and reviews

mostly good as it has the same buttons and voice control as the regular remote. I like to have it in case the regular remote gets misplaced. however, its useless if the tv is off, because it cant connect to a tv that isnt connected. so not great as a replacement remote. youll have to search for the real one or go buy another one if you cant find your remote

when you tap the directional pad even once ever so slightly it will keep scrolling very fast through the other options either horizontally or vertically. eventually stopping nowhere near where you want. it's as if you held the button down instead of tapped it guiding it in the direction you wanted. and then if you try to get back to where you were at it does the same thing. I would say 70% of the time this happens the other 30% it actually works as an intended

worst app! it takes forever to connect, but the physical remote chews through batteries every 2 weeks. sometimes it won't even recognize my device. every time you want to do something else in your phone it forgets the device and you have to reconnect. most of the time i just try to connect directly through Netflix or Amazon prime rather than use this app. it was ok before the update, as people have said, but since the update it is nearly unusable.
