Remote for Vizio · Reviews

by Kpfalconi

Almost a YEAR later and still no update with a fix (despite a response from the developer stating they were aware of the problem)! Completely unacceptable.

I purchased the lifetime option of your product “this app Vizio” and it works beautifully. However, I updated to a newer iPad and after reinstalling Remote , it wont recognize that I have the full unlocked version. I tried to re-purchase Remote (because i liked it that much) and it states that its already been purchased and asks if i would like to get it again for free. After saying yes it states that my purchase was successful but i do not have the full functionality. Multiple emails and support requests to the admins for Remote and no response. I guess they got their money and dont care anymore. I would easily change this to a 5 star rating if they would fix this issue on their side.

I purchased the lifetime premium pass for 15 dollars so I could have access to the full this app. Features such as the touch pad (being able to use arrow keys up, down, left, right arrows) and editing brightness, contrast, etc. is locked behind a paywall. I wasn't even too mad about that so I purchased it bc it's a one time payment. Except it still won't give me access, I tried to repurchase it and it says I already have purchased it. But everytime I try to use the touchpad or click the menu button a pop up opens asking if I want to buy the premium pass. I want my money back, don't download Remote.

Paid for Lifetime Premium. Still gives pop up to buy every time. Restored purchases. Deleted and reinstalled. Restarted the phone etc etc etc. sent feedback through Remote . No response months later. Requesting a refund from Apple 🤞🏻

I loved Remote and it had amazing reviews when I downloaded it. All of a sudden it required me to pay for Remote to use it and so I did because I had great success with it but then it stopped working. I know it’s connected to my tv because I can press menu and control the volume but that’s it. I’m very disappointed. Judging by the recent reviews it looks like Remote has gone down hill. What a shame. I emailed the company asking them for help since I’ve paid for Remote now I deserve a working this app.

What an awful business model. I had to pay 3.99 to get the premium service and tried to test it and see if it worked first but literally every button and function is part of the premium service. Remote didn’t work whatsoever with my Vizio tv and I want my money back. Garbage. Would be zero stars if I could.

None of the d pad functions work unless you purchase the upgrade for $3.99 after the purchase it unlocks all the functions. Only to find out that the d pad doesn’t control the smart functions. It will work for the menu but for the smart cast apps the d pad doesn’t work at all. Uninstall and request money back. Don’t waste your time.

Paid $15 to get the upgraded features for this this app. Got a new phone a month ago and the purchase didn’t carry over. Sent an email to support about it a month ago, still no response. When clicking the “restore purchase” button, it doesn’t do anything. Pretty frustrating

Paid for this and it is the worst app I’ve ever purchased! Very delayed and you have to select options multiple times. Then it catches up and enters your selection multiple times. It takes longer to select and get your option playing than to watch the entire movie!

All the replacement digital this app controller apps are pretty risky. The ones Ive had are life savers at first. Quick fix and great, until the entire TV stops working. Thats why i say avoid. Not even close to worth it... And unless youve lost ur this app and u desperately need a controller ...DONT do it.

by SashieP00

Worked fine for the times you don’t want to search around for the this app. Then suddenly you lose almost all functions unless you pay for it. After reading further reviews I’d rather not waste the money.

Everything worked at first, with the exception of the keypad (which may not be compatible with my tv). However, the mouse pad just stopped working. I deleted Remote and downloaded it again. Still doesn’t work.

Remote works, but it’s not good at knowing the difference between 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz bands. I had to move my M558-G1 to 2.4Ghz because thats the band my mobile devices are on. Only my tv is on the 5Ghz. This was never an issue with Vizio’s app. I’d still be using the Smartcast app if it was universal.

Remote is responsive, user-friendly, and well-designed. I like it.

My one complaint, and the only reason I don’t give five stars, is the video ads.

I understand that free apps need some way to generate revenue, and I have no issue with ads as long as they don’t take up my time. In an age of autoplay, to have to wait at least ten seconds just to click a button is unreasonable.

Plus, I’m much less likely to click ads if I have to wait through them. I’m a prideful idiot.

Overall, Remote is almost as good as a real this app. Four thumbs up.

Bought to remotes for Visio smart tv and couldn’t get them to work but this was easy, the ads are kinda ridiculous though

The Vizio TV is literally the worst electronic device I have ever owned.

Remote is awesome compared to the Vizio app, which is awful, and the actual this app which stops working for a few weeks at a time. I will never buy another Sony product.

by Rafesafe

Somehow I frequently lose the this app, so I spend a lot of time looking for it, but not anymore. I always have my phone at my side and can easily use it as a this app. Works perfectly, and makes me feel like a tech geek. Only wish I could change channel apps too, but still have to use tv this app for that.

by Cwl40

It Worked perfectly I tried the rest now download the best:)

by DLRpe

I would give this zero stars if that were possible. It connects to my TV but doesn’t do anything.

by Liltbug33

This connected to my tv but then did nothing.

by Imperfect Studios

This is trash for no reason, it connects to your tv, then doesn’t do anything. Total let down, devs, PLEASE do better

by Angelynrr

I installed it but than I couldn’t figure out how it works so if somebody knows how Remote works please help me out

by Basilh72

Finds TV, appears to connect, but does not work and does not have help or troubleshooting options.

by Vbffhm

Hard to use and constantly pops up adds

by Roblamo80

Remote works better than Vizios own app but you will be spammed to death with annoying whole screen pop up ads! You can buy the ad free for $1.99.

by 3081mad

Cannot figure out how to make this ap work. Seems to do nothing after asking for the pin

by Mamaknowd

The ads are really annoying and make you click accidentally all the time or take forever to go away. The only redeeming quality is the mouse pad thing.

by Aazznew

At first it was a great app. Now you get so many apps that pop up and you can’t exit them! For example I was watching a show and a part came on I needed to fast forward before my son looked up and nope not possible due to pop ups... I had to block his view with a pillow.

by Mdubdub

Sometimes it connects to the tv and most of the time it doesn’t

by Notthisappfindanother

Too many adds that pop up every six or so moves...total crap app.

by BricksterBros25

It has a lot of ads but still works. It works perfectly fine. But I am mad about the amount of ads.

by Charly2019
