Ratings and reviews

it works better then the remote that came with my TV. Unfortunately it won't always stay connected, even in close proximity with a strange error that just prevents any reconnection attempts. this loop has occurred several, frustrating times. Otherwise this app is perfect as a very picky autistic. Being robbed of it throws me into a near meltdown. as if by magic it works once more.

Really great when it connects to my VC box Android 14 and the box connects to anything instantly. Sometimes it connects instantly. Sometimes it doesn't.I have to re-pair it. Installed on like 4 devices with the same results. Strange that the transport keys work on the main screen but don't work on the more page. Love the vcremoter color keys they work great. Hey free with no ads almost unheard of these days thanks.

Extremely impressed! No Ads, works as it should... took me a year and forever to get my onn google box to finally pair with the Bluetooth without disconnecting within a half second... but finally the "remote" part of the app popped and I started hitting buttons and it stayed connected.... you might want to look into that option... I don't know what it is but I've done the same with other real remotes to get it working, maybe show the remote screen while it's "trying" to connect...
