Universal remote tv smart Reviews

by Knectagazoink

It would be faster to dig around the house and find the remote or go to the store and buy a new one than to use Universalremotetvsmart. As some others have pointed out there are a lot of ads. I thought they were just whining, but it’s true.

This is the first time I’ve ever had ads interfere to the point that I couldn’t even get a good read on the basic functionality of an app to figure out if I wanted to buy it. Tried to navigate to the first Netflix thing I saw (about a 15 second task) and had 4 ads pop up—2 of them videos. Look elsewhere.

When you open Universalremotetvsmart you have to enter a pin to connect to the TV, which shouldn’t be a problem, but 90% of the time the window to enter the pin pops up for a second and then disappears. Click on anything, it does the same thing. Restart Universalremotetvsmart with no other apps open, it does the same thing. So it makes it so you are unable to enter the pin thus not able to use Universalremotetvsmart . Also I paid for Universalremotetvsmart and there is still constant advertisements and pop ups.

I downloaded this a few days ago. My smart tv and phone were synced to the same WiFi and Universalremotetvsmart wouldn’t work. I tried everything and the remote just telling me it didn’t sense my tv to sync it to the WiFi which it was. I reached out to the developer via email and messenger. No response. I included pics that’s the phone and tv where on the same WiFi hoping that would help. Nothing. Complete silence. It’s been days without a peep from them. Super frustrating and I will be uninstalling.

A couple things,
1 ads, they don’t bother me to much but I don’t Wanna pay money for no ads, the reason being I don’t wanna use this all the time because... of problem 2
2 turning on the tv, u can’t do it!!! The reason y I got Universalremotetvsmart is bc on my smart tv there is NO ON BUTTON so I needed to turn on the tv and so I looked for an app to do it, I got this and the not being able to turn ON THE TV made me mad. Other than that and ads Universalremotetvsmart is alright. But my question is, y get a remote app when you need the remote or button on the side of the tv, to turn on the tv???? You already have the remote or buttons so y watch a million ads or pay for no ads when you have to do other things to turn in the tv?!?!?!?!

I download it and am immediately met with an ad. After I close it, Universalremotetvsmart tells me to do a “smart scan” to connect to my tv. I click on it, immediately another ad. I hit close on the ad, but it doesn’t register until after several tries. After the ad is closed, no smart scan has been initiated and I have to hit the button again only for the same ad to come up. I’ve tried hitting different keys, but it’s the same pop up asking for a scan that doesn’t work or start. Both my phone and Tv are connected to the same network, but Universalremotetvsmart can’t even scan.

I downloaded Universalremotetvsmart bc I couldn’t find my remote at the moment. As I was typing in my log in credentials to watch Netflix, I could barely get in two letters without the ads popping up literally EVERY 2 SECONDSSS. I spent about 10-15 minutes trying to log in bc the ads kept popping up. I couldn’t take it anymore so I desperately looked for my remote control till I found it and deleted Universalremotetvsmart ASAP! Do yourselves a favor and don’t bother downloading Universalremotetvsmart unless you’re patient enough to sit through the ads every 2 seconds

I don’t ever ever review apps, but this one is just so bad that I have to review. Yes, the ads are annoying unless you pay to remove them. If you don’t remove them you get maybe 3 clicks before a 5 second ad pops up. That’s not even the worst part. The worst part is that it just DOESN’T WORK. It literally picks and chooses when it does and doesn’t work. Yes, it’s synced to my tv, same wifi connection, etc… Deleting Universalremotetvsmart because honestly it’s just getting more frustrating. At first it worked almost always. Now it’s just the worst.

by LAMBChances

It took me literally 10 MINUTES to sign into my Netflix account why you may ask because Universalremotetvsmart has to many adds!! Every time I moved to go look for the letter I needed to type in my email for Netflix there was an add not only that but after I logged into Netflix I clicked on a movie and this was at 3 am so everyone in my house was asleep and the volume was too loud and I tried to quickly lower the volume but as I tried doing that an add popped up and I had to sit there and wait while the tv was so loud and my mom woke up not only that but after the add finished the volume doesn’t even work!! I tried lowering it and it’s didn’t do anything I recommend you guys to get a different app that doesn’t have so much adds.

by Squid1242

Literally an (insert ad here) ad pops up just about every (insert ad here) 3 seconds or two clicks (insert ad here) on this remote. So be (insert ad here) cautious if lowering the (insert ad here) volume. If you turn the tv off (insert ad here), you have to rescan for the tv (insert ad here). Now at least two different tv (insert ad here) versions pop up for the same tv (insert ad here) upon scanning. Without all the (insert ad here) ads, this (insert ad here) remote works ok however, (insert ad here) it wouldn’t work to (insert ad here) power on (insert ad here) the tv. For the amount (insert ad here) of ads being run (insert ad here) constantly that I’m sure they’re paying (insert ad here) for the space to be run, (insert ad here) there is no reason this (insert ad here) company should be asking (insert ad here) people to pay (insert ad here) to remove the ads. Nothing (insert ad here) but a money (insert ad here) grab app as usual (insert ad here) these days.

The remote control works well and yes and Is good to use but my main problem is the ads they constantly appear on the phone which is very annoying, if you want to remove the ads you got to pay $8.99 to remove
the ads and is stupid expensive I seen cheaper like they cost like. 1.99 that would at least be a fair deal but no they to make it expensive I still like Universalremotetvsmart but it’s flawed by very annoying ads.

by Jebsmiles

The smart button takes forever to work and the remote disconnects from the tv a lot (multiple times a day when I stay home all day). There are also so many ads that you have to wait for them to go away; like no skip button or whatever. It works fine, the ads are just annoying and get in the way a lot.

by Gygyvalle0905

I downloaded Universalremotetvsmart and I honestly did like it at first but then all these adds started popping up when I pressed a button more than once and it was getting really annoying so I deleted it but if you have patience then yeah I would recommend it but it’s just not for me because I don’t have much patience in total it’s a good app because I have tried a few and out of all of them this is the best so yeah I do recommend it for people with patience

Well I could say one thing I wish the controls would download one time and make it so u don’t have to keep downloading it every time u wanna look at different stuff in Universalremotetvsmart I wish I could just open it up and it be there every time because I know my mom witch is of the older generation would keep asking me how do I get back to the remote if she hit another button I like Universalremotetvsmart but the controls need to b there every time u open Universalremotetvsmart like have the main screen be ur remote other than that I like how u can buy a new one on Universalremotetvsmart and I like how it controls ur tv within seconds I just wish the main screen was your remote without having to download it and I hate how I gotta buy an add free remote for 5.99 my original remote doesn’t make me buy add free that’s just stupid how adds are in a remote just because it’s on my cellphone good thing I just wanted to try Universalremotetvsmart and actually have my remote otherwise I would have to turn off my volume when it’s late at night trying to control my volume. Thanks girls and guys for making Universalremotetvsmart if u fixed those two things u would have a 5 star rating.

by Gabrielle Chutikorn

The fact that the tv asks for permission to allow Universalremotetvsmart to control it is redundant if you don’t have a remote to begin with, but otherwise Universalremotetvsmart is very useful

by Sgjfdbbgz

(1:26 am)My mom always leaves her tv so loud and most times it makes it hard to fall asleep, I finally took matters into my own hands, Universalremotetvsmart VERY EASLY found my moms tv which is in a completely different room(but also next to my room) and I was able to turn it off. I plan to mess with her too so I’ll keep you updated

by Bigheadch3wy

I loved when in the day that smartphone’s has the IR blaster. Universalremotetvsmart has too many pop up advertising. I thought finally found an app the finally allows me to control my tv without a catch. I would pay a fee just to get the ads removed but there’s no option for that. I honestly would find other way

by KECS23

Have you ever lost or put your remote down and then can’t find it? Universalremotetvsmart works on iPhone and iPad. Looks similar to a remote and is easy to set up. Also with Universalremotetvsmart you can see it clearly and no additional batteries are needed. If you don’t like the ads on the free version you can remove them, by paying a small amount of $. You won’t be disappointed! Love Universalremotetvsmart!

I have downloaded what feels like a million different remotes for my Samsung SmartTV, and none of them work well. I have, at times, felt like throwing my phone out the window I’m so frustrated. This is the only remote I’ve found that’s consistent and fully featured. So if you’re thinking about trying it you should try it. You won’t be wasting your time, and you won’t want to throw your phone out the window.

This remote picked up all my smart devices I have in my home so quickly ! And thats because I have slow wifi !! And it worked with my Samsung Tv without problems , Universal Remote also worked with my Roku Tv ! I honestly dont buy right away but for the quality and one time buy its definatly worth the one time purchase to remove ads ! I’m so happy I found this Universal Remote !!!

by MT_Dutton

My remote broke, and I thought—wouldn’t it be great if my phone could be my TV remote, they should invent that & so I check the Apple store for my million dollar idea and here it is!

But in all seriousness it works so well, was a breeeeze to set up (connects to TV through WiFi) !

I ended up paying the 5$ for no ads, since I am using it as my primary remote, but that is still much cheaper then a replacement ! To think every time you’re wondering where the remote is you can now just use your phone !

I just downloaded I’ll say by accident my finger barely touched the Touch ID Amy finger was sideways now I have this remote tv and is asking for Premium restore purchase and removed adds what is it mean? Do I have to pay and how much ?? I didn’t even see the price it doesn’t even show price ?? I’m freaking out now can someone help me out and I was reading some info from Universalremotetvsmart Store and it doesn’t say anything about price or customer service help plz thank you

by Random0plenty

Universalremotetvsmart is a completely terrible app. First off Universalremotetvsmart gives you so many apps. Not to mention when you get hit with a ad it won’t let you exit out of the ad no matter how many times you click the x button. Also if you keep clicking the button it will kick you out of Universalremotetvsmart . And second off when you search for you tv connected to your WiFi it will say it’s scanning then say no TVs for that network or something similar. 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾

I downloaded the free version and it worked great. I decided I liked it enough to purchase the commercial free version. As soon as it was purchased I tried using it and it won’t work at all. It tries to connect to the TV but fail and every time. You would think if you pay for something it would be a better version. I regret my purchase.

by LaurieMiko

Every few seconds and annoying ad pops up. The first time, they give you a notification to pay $5 for no ads but then if you decline, that option goes away. Universalremotetvsmart worked but I will be deleting it. There is a free remote that works well without ads for Sony smart tv called video & tv side remote. It works great.

The remote was super easy to connect to my television . I couldn’t find my remote and Universalremotetvsmart saved the day . I paid for the full version because there was far to many ads , I think it’s worth it no need to keep up with my remote anymore and I always have me phone .

by Prud Mane

Downloaded the Samsung one and could not get it to work. This had less downloads but figure I’d give this developer and app a chance. It’s quick and easy, Universalremotetvsmart changed into a virtual replica of my remote too which I thought was cool asf. Lol hope you enjoy it too.
