Contact Remote control Support

I might be missing something, but this app is a waste. In my case, the blu-ray player has to be on the same network as the app on the phone. Who dedicates an independent hardwired connection directly to the network for a legacy blu-ray player? That’s absurd. I’m not going to worry with that, going backwards 10 years just so I can then access it from my phone. I imagine doing what people really want from an app like this and the millions of pointless duplicates is hindered by protocols or something, but there’s got to be a better way. I want to connect it with HDMI and then be able to control the device from my phone and access it like any other components (sound bar, TV, AppleTV, cable, Roku). Is that not possible? Maybe not considering the concept of a truly universal smart phone remote app, though desperately wanted, seems to be unattainable though people keep downloading things like this which infer they do something similar in a technologically relevant way. They do not.

My LG remote was nowhere to be found. My daughter likely left it somewhere in our room, but since I wasn’t in the mood to tear my room apart to try to find it. I figured I’d search for an alternative, which would eliminate the need to search for a remote ever again. Well I chose this app namely because of the first review I read and I figured it would to the job. The app connected my tv and my iPhone pretty quick. However, I quickly noticed all these pop-ups which I had to keep closing before I could access the remote. This was disappointing since I thought the $4.99 would limit ads. It was only after a few minutes and a few selections that the up and down buttons weren’t working. I do not recommend this app .

First I have to get my TV and phone on the same WiFi, which sounds fine at first, but if you change addresses that can be a nightmare. Then it takes forever to authenticate. Then after dealing with the authentication process and loading screens, I make it a handful of clicks within the app before an ad is thrown up over my entire screen, bringing me to some stupid webpage just so I can close out of THAT, all to finish changing the volume on my TV. 1. They should have a Bluetooth option, this would circumvent any issues with WiFi, and the authentication process. 2. I understand ads are an important source of revenue, but keep them to the border of the screen, pop-up ads are for spam emails.
