I’ve absolutely loved this especially when I’ve put my tv controller somewhere on my bed and don’t want to completely destroy my bed just to look for it especially late at night the only thing I wish was on there is the settings for the tv as my tv has a setting that you can turn the screen off but still allow you to watch something in the background with no pictures on the screen which is fantastic at night as I can turn the screen off whilst still having my programmes on in the background so that’s the only thing that I feel should be added as an update or something but other than that it completely works really well with my phone no delays or anything like that highly recommend and it doesn’t cost much either

Not working after doing the promts

As above, I signed up for free trial, it said it’s set up to use, but then there was no further prompts to actually access the television and it’s just said confirm which I did, but then it said thank you for purchasing it. I didn’t want to purchase it because I wanted to see whether it would work at first or not, I would like a refund or an assurance that it won’t take out a purchase at the end of The Three trial, which I can’t do anyway because it is not responding isn’t give me any prompts to set it up

Absolutely terrible
mr prideaux
You got to be kidding me. I’ve got a Samsung smart tv and had to use an older remote that is missing all the features since I lost the one that came with it. I’ve been looking for a replacement app for it and this one came up on the results of “FREE” but no, you have to have a subscription for something that is completely free with my tv and literally can buy now for not that much! So basically don’t download this.
