Ratings and reviews

If I could have the ability to add two widgets to my home screen, one for the channel list and one for the controls, that I can access direct instead of having to click on the icon I would be more inclined to use this app. I would even buy another phone and just use that as a dedicated remote control! The extra channels on the app that aren't on my tv are very useful but you need to add a show guide so I can see what's on each channel.

The app isn't working. I can't find my TV with network scan, IP address, or even QR code. QR just kicks me out of there after every scan and I can repeat it but nothing happens. IP and network scanner keeps loading forever and then pops up a message "unable to find your TV" (ah those humanish devices...) ☠️

The TV itself was a budget-friendly workhorse, but the Smart TV app has gone downhill. It used to be hit-or-miss, but after updates, it just stopped pairing entirely—no fixes (resets, cache clears, manual IP) work, even though the TV’s IP is clearly visible in my network. For the TVs price, I can’t complain too much, but breaking basic functionality with updates is frustrating. Next TV won’t be a Philips unless they sort out the UX.
