Ratings and reviews

Works fantastic on Philips Ambilight TVs. The majority of people in the review section whos devices aren't connected are very likely people who are lacking the ability to properly setup their devices on their home WiFi connection. Saying that, with regards to the app and given the fact that Philips sells ambilight android tvs and Philips hue, it would be a whole lot nicer if they provided some more Philips hue options within this app.

Works good as a remote but it disconnects quite fast once you leave the app and you have to reconnect or worst case close and start the app again, it takes time and it's frustrating. I can't turn on the tv either, only works when the tv is turned on.

For a tv bought in 2024 the phone firmeare shold have opt for phone to be keyboard/mouspad I belive that would be very easy to add and a big upgrade for web browsing from the buggy mouse on remote. Additionaly when will there be an upgrade for screen cast, for, again, a 2024 tv it is handicapped without it?
