Ratings and reviews

Wow. You know the focus is about money when the app pushes you to pay $45 a year and you haven't even had a chance to test it. Plus almost all the controls are locked unless you subscribe and pay. And it found my device but didn't do anything. omg lol

Really useful app. It connected to my TV easily and the controls feel smooth and responsive. The interface is simple to understand, so using it wasn't stressful. It works well as a backup remote when my main remote isn't around. Would love even more free features, but overall a great app

TVBuddy looks promising and more polished than many generic samsung TV remote apps, especially for casual daily use. The biggest concern is simply that it’s still new and lacks a long track record. If you want a modern universal remote app and don’t mind testing a newer product, it’s worth trying. If reliability matters most, official manufacturer apps are still safer choices right now.
