Remote TV Control 4+

Works well

This is a great app and the purchase for premium is worth it, the ads are overwhelming otherwise... but this is designed way better and faster than the smart things remote. I like it because I hate looking for my remote and I am always on my phone so I never lose it. Got the app for me and my wife. The widget is cool because you can control basic functions on the fly.

Note: updates may cause glitches if you do not update your phone to the latest version also. I have noticed a couple other glitchy things with buttons sometimes but nothing terrible and is avoidable hence the 4 stars

We didn't remove the old widget we simply added a new one for iOS14. To restore the old widget please do the following Swipe right to the full widget screen, scroll to the bottom and you should see the edit button, then again scroll all the way down and click on Customise. You can add them back from there. Obviously you can’t put the old widgets on the homescreen though Please change your rating for us

Nope.

UPDATE: got a message from the developer that most of the issues were fixed and was asked to reinstall. I did so and I couldn’t get past the connection screen, it kept asking me to make sure the Roku streaming stick is within the same network. Now, it’s possible that the app won’t connect to a Samsung TV with a Roku device, but I am not willing to disconnect my Roku every time I want to control my television, and the app didn’t give me the option otherwise to connect to the television only (though I think that’s stupid that I’d have to do so). Took a star away for my pain and suffering and added a thumbs down 🤷🏻‍♀️👎👎👎👎

This remote worked great... until it stopped working. After about a month, I would try to turn the tv on or off or mess with the volume, and it wouldn’t connect. I tried resetting my WiFi, deleting and reinstalling the app, disconnecting my device and reconnecting. I even bought the upgrade that allowed multiple TVs, even though I shouldn’t have had to do so (when I deleted the tv I was using via the app and tried to reconnect, the app told me I had to upgrade to use multiple TVs... even though there wasn’t a tv connected).

This app turned out to be crap and a waste of money 👎👎👎

Hello,

Thank you for leaving your feedback. We heard you and we have fixed most of the issues. You can go ahead now and update the app or reinstall. You will be able to search for your TV within the same WiFi and connect to it.

Please, make sure you also update your rating for us.

Thanks so much

I hate apps like this

The app works I will give that but I just hate that everyone who makes something great has to be so money hungry because the fact is you could’ve released a free app that controls your TV but no you wanted to create a premium version and I thought to myself who the hell is going to buy a premium version of a TV remote when you could just go by the remote from LG itself but I’ve seen a lot of people in the comments by it and it’s actually stupid but what made me give this app a one star is like I stated before a premium that is totally unnecessary I pressed the home button to try to change to HDMI one so that I could play Warframe and immediately I get a pop-up talking about upgrade to premium and I’m just sitting there speechless like why should I have to pay premium to use arrows on the remote for my phone this whole money hungry thing is very stupid you can just as easily ask for donations everybody who makes apps is so money hungry I remember when I was a child there were free apps you could play apps free and there was no hassle but this is truly ridiculous do not buy the premium and do not download this app
