Ratings and reviews

It was working perfectly until the last update [06/06/2021] but now it doesn't connect automatically on startup even if I manually set the IP. Every time I open the app even if it was already open just been in the background for 5 seconds, I have to manually search and select the TV to make it work, regardless the correct IP is set manually. It's ruined the app totally.

These televisions are trash. Always having connection problems, the app won't detect the TV, and customer service was trash. I've never experienced such terrible tech support. She offered absolutely no help, not even one attempt at troubleshooting, not one procedure, and basically said that without the remote, I'm stuck, since there's no way to switch from letters to numbers to input the wifi password, and the password unfortunately must contain numbers, otherwise I would have changed it.

My TV wasn't detected on the WiFi network shared by my phone and my TV automatically, so I had to enter my IP address manually. But that wasn't a problem, and the app popped right up and across the top of the graphic (of the remote) was the msg: [TV]Phil TV detected However, any button pressed on the remote returned the same error msg: Your TV was not detected. Your smart TV and your tablet/phone must be connected to the same WiFi network. 1 word description: FAIL
