Ratings and reviews

I have never in my life left a negative review. Until now. Tried both the IOS and Android versions of this app. Both on the same network. Both apps SEE the TV no problem. But neither will connect. Tried 4 different devices. Powered the tv off and back on, shut down and restarted that app. Nothing. Figured I must just be doing something wrong, but looks like a lot of people have the same issue.

**update** About a month ago it stopped working. I've uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times. Now it will never connect to TV. It recognizes my TV from the list but it's just "stuck" on trying to connect. Sucks because this was a phenomenal app that worked flawlessly until it didn't. All other apps suck** So far, so good 👍🏼 Just downloaded the app with my new Hisense 75" Android TV 📺 and it works flawlessly! Menu, volume, channels, voice, keyboard, and off button. Thanks developer 🙏🏼

The app can connect to the tv but it really is quite poorly designed. It boasts that it can show videos and pictures from your phone on the tv but that's about it. It doesn't allow even sharing the web browser from your phone. Finding the videos to watch is a real pain since it only looks at one folder on your phone, (internal storage/dcim/camera). Watching videos from the phone on the tv is horrible since the video doesn't play concurrently on the phone but only on the tv and the controls other than stop, pause, and play dont seem to work (no ffwd or rwd). I really think there is room for improvement. The most frustrating aspect? After starting a video from my phone using this app, I often get this message that will not disappear from the tv screen: "A trusted device is connecting to your tv." Well, duh, why do I care? The message blocks the video being played and is extremely annoying (sometimes stopping the video and restarting it will solve it, but then you have to start the video from the beginning again). Basically the app appears to be marketing fluff so hisense can say they have an app like the other guys. In truth they have a worthless marketing gimmick to attract unknowning consumers. The app issues do not appear to be important to them as this review has been posted for over 6 months and no fix at all. I will modify my review when they fix it.
