UPDATE: Caution! Once you try this app, you will be hooked! This smart phone remote has been a game changer & now I can’t go back! Admittedly, it was a little awkward at first, but when your sweet hubby falls asleep snoring in his recliner and it’s okay to leave him there, now I don’t even have to leave my bed to turn the TV off!!! No longer do I have to shout, “please turn the tv down,” when needed; when the family sees the volume magically decrease and I’m not in the room, they just get it! 💯👍 Old physical remote is now repaired, but I am officially hard-wired to this app! 😂😂😂 Initially had to find alternative suddenly when physical remote failed; this was the 3rd app I tried and it has really delivered! Worked seamlessly w/ my Sony tv via the same WiFi network. Using the free version (very few ads), but maybe the paid version has a long press option? Love that I can press buttons from anywhere within my WiFi network reach: the remote doesn’t have to face the tv! Recommend over any other Sony remote apps!

Stop your search and get this app. This app has worked without a single problem. TV auto-connects every time. The available interfaces are well designed for their own purposes. Everything just works and I have no complaints whatsoever. Buy the membership if you appreciate the app. I would like to thank the developers for this app. I’m very grateful to find this from this App Store crowded with broken apps with false promises. It just works and it’s the best one. Don’t waste your money and time now and download this one. Thank you.

At first, it was a little hard to set up and our tv said it was blocking access, but we followed the instructions and got it up and running. I like that they have different kinds of remotes and you can just go to the app instantly and have it up and running. (If you had it open in the background while previously using it) Don't let the image looking remotes fool you, they work.However, the ad pop ups are terrible. Every 10-15 or so presses brings up an ad and it's very annoying. Otherwise, it worked fine for me, didn't like the ads though, that's why I'm giving it 4 stars.

My Sony TV remote died, so I downloaded this app till the replacement arrives. If the app worked better, I wouldn’t spend the money on a new remote, but that’s not the case. It worked well once, then after turning the TV off and back on again, I had to remove the app from my phone and reload it again in order to get it to work. Also, the entire remote image doesn’t fit on my iPhone 12 screen, so I have to scroll up or down to get to the top or bottom of the remote. Yeah, I know, 1st World Problems, but I’d expect it to work better overall than it does. Also, adds pop up, but they can be removed for a one-time in-app payment of $3.99. If I liked the remote, I’d pay it. But it’s a no-go for me. Since it’s a free app, you clearly get what you paid for.
