Ratings and reviews

Takes forever to load. The app is decent and good for the"remote" it provides and the headphone option is nice. Unfortunately, it takes FOREVER to load the home screen and since there is no option to skip the home screen loading,I don't use it much at all.

If I were to give this app a letter grade, it would be a C-. The app hasn't really been updated in any meaningful way for a long time, You can't shut off specific notifications, and if you're using remote listening, any sound that plays on your phone will unpause whatever is paused on your TV; similarly, using the microphone (speech to text, for example), It will do the same thing. If I pause a video, walk away, get a text message, and come back, the video will have been playing for however long

The app no longer opens, crashes instantly. I've tried everything: clearing cache, reinstalling, updating app, updating Android. Still won't load. Before that the remote headphones feature worked great, and is the reason I'm desperate to get it working again. But it just stopped working and wasted my time trying to fix it, so 2 stars until it is
