Ratings and reviews

It has potential but ... User face doesn't work very well, at least not as well as Rokus. The cruiser at times will just scroll & scroll to the point you have to force close the app. Or it'll just stop "seeing" the fire stick and you have to force close. If it was just a random occurrence it be different but it's almost every time we use it. 3 different model phones are using it, so I'm assuming it's not phone related. Cleared cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, an tried other tactics.

As soon as you close the app, it loses connection to the TV you have already set up and it was working on perfectly 5 minutes ago. Keeps saying searching for devices even though it has already been set up to the device. No, it is not a wifi issue or any of that nonsense, I am not an idiot. Yes, the tv is on and on the same wifi as my phone .App is just way more trouble than it's worth. I'll just keep digging around for my remote, way less hassle than this garbage.

Works exactly as advertised. I lost my remote and didn't want to shell out $40 for a replacement so I read an article that recommended this app. It said it was simple to set up but I was a little skeptical it would be this easy. I downloaded it and was expecting a complicated process to sync it to my tv. Nope. Not at all. It literally did it on its own in less than 10 seconds. The buttons are easy to use. Its a no brainer. I have since found my original remote but still use this app often.
