Ratings & Reviews
Review Summary
Users are divided on the Universal TV Remote Control app; some praised its functionality and ease of use across various TV brands, while others criticized it for frequent ads, connectivity issues, and potential phishing attempts.
I needed a remote for the TVs at work, and this seemed to fit the bill. However, as I was setting it up, I was taken to a page that appeared as part of the setup process, for verification, requesting credit card information, along with the assurance that I wouldn't be charged for anything. Within minutes, two charges were attempted on my credit card, for unspecified subscriptions. Now, the app worked as it was supposed to, but I have to hold this app designer responsible for the phishing.

Also, Please update to the latest version of the app. It is more stable, more functional and the most simplest TV Remote app. Feel free to contact us any time. Stay Happy :)
I wish it had a program guide like the Peel that I had to disable because it had ads popping up not just on the app, but over my other apps like videos, phone calls, etc. Way overstepping, other apps know their boundaries. But simple to use. When I emailed you it seemed that you tried to add more options or fix a problem. Still no intrusive ads on this one and I kept having to disable the Peel app, but it seems to have stopped reactivating itself finally.
Developer response:
Thank you Carol for contacting us. I have forwarded your request to th etechnical team. Hopefully we will be able to provide the program guide feature. Always feel free to contact us any time. Stay Happy :)
First app out of all that I've tried that actually worked on my LG Smart TV, and it worked flawlessly, instantly and without even using the IR on the phone (meaning any smart phone can use this function). However they don't have Vizio Smart TV control for my other TV or most of the brands yet and when I tried to use the IR I get no options/instructions on how to set it up. It doesn't seem to work
Developer response:
Hi Norbert, We are pleased to inform you that Vizio SmartCast TV remote is now available in the app. It was a very popular demand form our users. Please install / update the latest version. Also please share your experience. We will be waiting for your feedback. Stay Happy :)
This is an excellent app that worked perfectly with my sharp Aquos Android tv... Key word being "worked". Now it's useless. You can get it working by backing out updates to the TV's tv remote service, but by the next day the update is back and the app no longer works. Way too much trouble to go thru this every day. When are y'all going fix this? I'd bump your rating to 5 stars if this issue was fixed. *Not fixed. Wifi connections don't seem to work at all. Always get the Bluetooth prompt.

Not sure how people manage to use this app. Every time you click anything there's an ad and some of the ads are so blended with the app that you don't realize you're clicking on them incidentally until it redirects you to another app. I couldn't even get through setup. I can't find my actual TV remote because we've used the cable providers remote for so long and all I need to do is change the input option on my TV. Smh. 20 minutes later and this app still isn't installed. Don't waste your time.

Maybe I'm the only one bc I scanned reviews and found no info on how the finger navigation works!!! No instructions. I tried tap, double tap and long press, NOTHING! Also, the ads are crazy. Not worth it. I only tried it bc my batteries died and remote and didn't wanna drive to the store. NEVER AGAIN! This app taught me to always have batteries! I'm using the ONN android TV stick.
Developer response:
Hello, Thank you for providing the details. The navigation should have worked as the app supports the ONN android stick. We will try our very best to resolve this issue and inform you about an update.
My Roku tv turns off & on now not to mention having to go buy a universal remote. To avoid having to get up every time to shut it off. That sounds lazy probably too but I had to thumb through remote apps quite awhile just looking for that very stating feature of having a power button . It's just also happens to be the best style and layout. Well in my opinion after comparing so many others I was bout to give up and go get one. It surprised me when it just shut off poof, TMI Lol Thanks π..
I have a vizio smartcast tv and this remote almost never works for it. I always make sure I am connected to the same WiFi but end up having to restart the app several times, and go through the ads a gain, just for it to work. If I need to pause my show it takes me at least 2-3 minutes every time and is super frustrating. 2 stars because I am not sure if this is the same with other TVs.
It helps you navigate Roku but you still have to turn the TV on using a different remote. So its application is very limited because unless the TV is already on the application cannot even bring up your remote. It's pretty lame. Also, making it find your signal by turning on wi-fi sucks because if your modem is weak or wearing out or is just down then you can't even use this application!
