Remote control for Xbox Reviews

by Micahfrye02

Remotecontrol works and does what its supposed to. It can connect to my xbox and roku tv but has a lot of ads that pop up when you tap a button more than once which opens up scam ads and porn occasionally it gets old very fast so be careful with how fast you click. The layout is also overly complicated were on a phone we dont need to see a remote on our phone that we need to scroll to see other buttons. Make big buttons that are easy to click and are simple. If you got rid of the large pop up ads or at least make sure they dont send you somewhere youll get a virus.

Remotecontrol just lost all its credibility for me. I’ve used this for a little while and out of nowhere it starts crashing when I open it. And when I say crashing I mean 2 seconds after I open it. I’d recommend just investing your money in a Xbox controller or remote when you get the chance. This is not a permanent solution. Major bugs even when it is working due to the ads popping up every 20-30 seconds. Makes the remote stop working then you have to close Remotecontrol and re open it. Also it rarely connects the first time, you have to close and reopen Remotecontrol over and over till it works. It’s a garbage app

Remotecontrol will freeze my Xbox console after I have connected it Via WiFi every time. This freezes so bad that my Xbox controller won’t even respond with the console. Then, I go into Remotecontrol and disconnect and then y am able to continue watching my movie on my streaming service. Yes, I am watching movies when this happens. I never really use this because of the extra steps and hassle. Thanks though.

Worked great for using apps. Until it randomly doesn’t connect. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Didn’t fix it. It shows my Xbox on the options and then said “nil” after trying to connect. WiFi’s working great on phone and Xbox. Does this often but usually starts working after trying enough. Now it’s not connecting at all.

In the very beginning it worked great but after I moved my Xbox to my room it hasn’t been able to connect. All I get now is this message at the bottom when attempting to connect ( trying to connect with engine 1 ) and then ( nil ) My wifi is connected, when I turn on my Xbox it shows connection to my wifi so I don’t understand why it’s not working anymore. I have removed Remotecontrol and downloaded it again and it’s the same. Please fix this because when it does work it’s a great app. It saved me for a while cause my actual remote controller stopped working. When imputing manually it still shows same comments.
Please Please Please fix this.

I have no idea who thought it was a good idea to add ads to an app where your constantly touching the screen and if you accidentally tap the ad your not able to use Remotecontrol on your again unless you restart Remotecontrol , it works great there’s just no reason for some things on there such as buttons that do nothing and constant ads every 20 seconds if you are using this for console and you have money laying around I’d say just buy a controller it says you a lot of time

Sometimes it works... and sometimes it doesn’t 🤬 Really frustrating at those times. It literally shows me my console in the list of devices that I can connect to and when I select it, tells me it was not found. In other words, it literally FINDS it and when you select it as an option, it tells you it’s NOT FOUND.

by Robertomoreno

Fails to connect 25% of the time. When it works its great. Also, the interface could use a facelift. Love it otherwise. Keeps me from needing another clunky remote lying around.

by Batgamer1O1

This works great!! I mainly use it if my controller doesn’t have batteries or I’m to lazy to get it. How ever my only complaint is ads come up at random times while I’m using Remotecontrol and it’s a bit lagy but other than that I’m loving Remotecontrol!!!

by Albert0.mp3

App works well no complaints does the job but, I have suggestions to make it better such as the power button to also turn on the console instead of only being able to turn it off that would be a very good feature.

It definitely has potential I know but Remotecontrol has a lot of problems like when I tried to connect it to my Xbox PS4 or anything else it’s mostly would not work me out Remotecontrol definitely has potential that have not been seen yet but the developers

by Paulababe

Sometimes it disconnects for long periods of time and won’t reconnect, but overall it works really great. It’s pretty intuitive and the best remote app I’ve tried. Ads can be a bit tedious but they actually pop up less frequently than the remote option I tried before so they don’t bother me.

by Tandad21

It’s a little buggy, I have to open and close a few times for it to connect but then sometimes it can fire the Xbox up first try. I paid for Remotecontrol because of the work I saw that went into it. And still believe I got a good deal even with the bugs. As a dad Remotecontrol has made my life so much easier at bedtime with my new born. We watch tv with the Xbox and as any parent knows it’s hard to get up and grad a controller while holding a sleeping baby. It’s great once it’s connected there’s no issues until Remotecontrol is closed. But even then 5/5 good job dev

I’m lazy and don’t like having to get up and grab my controller just to navigate to a streaming service (not to mention I hate using up good controller battery for these non-gaming tasks) & we all know Microsoft’s voice control doesn’t work well.

The only thing that’s always within arm’s reach is my iPhone, so I was looking up ways to control my Xbox with a smartphone and learned about “SmartGlass.” I was looking for that app and found this one instead. The other reviews say it didn’t work for them but mine is working great so give it a try before writing it off.

I’m only using it for non-gaming tasks like navigating to apps and controlling playback etc. If I wanna actually game I don’t mind getting my real controllers.

by Alexkohei

I use this for streaming on my Xbox. Play, pause, movies, tv. That way I don’t drain my controller battery just to pause or change channels every few minutes. I use the white remote option. Thanks to app developer 👍🏼

You have to make sure your Xbox accepts connections from any device. At first it would just buffer for ever without a notification that won’t connect but once I figured to change the setting it connected immediately.

by Sanstheskeleton93636

Awesome app and if your device crashes it means your device is either super clogged or your storage is full but if you link your Xbox to your tv you can turn off and on both of them. Awesome

by Red Head 13666

Idk what’s going on but it’s not letting me connect the controller to my Xbox….it pulls up my Xbox in the list of things to connect to but keeps saying error….mind you I’ve been using this off and on for a month…so I’m assuming it’s a bug problem!! Please update 😋

by Cynimoxus1

Must use with WiFi to connect.

I noticed after I paid for the ads to be removed; I can turn my Xbox on and off using this application. Prior to this; I could only turn it off. No complaints here. I’m happy to support the developer here. Rather than support an app like candy crush for constant bombardment ad walls.

Thank you Oz.

Remotecontrol is awesome and when I’m in my bed in Netflix or something and my batteries are charging I can turn my phone on and just put something else on or turn my Xbox on at any time but the xbox turn on takes a while.

by Cyberknight64

I saw some decent reviews at the top and decided to give this a go. I bought the ad free version expecting it to work pretty well but it won’t connect to anything and every device I try to connect to just says “null” this was an extreme letdown and I would like to know how I can get a refund

by Brent-Reviewer

They need an update or a patch. It’s broken. Steer clear. Stay away. If it fixes I’ll update. Connection on my end is perfect. Xbox smartglass app connects and works great. My internet shows up. It recognizes my network and IP address. Click to connect.... “Nil” as is “Nothing” as in “Broke” as in “Ha wasted your time and phone memory Bish”.

Thanks for nothing. This was an exciting app if it worked.

Please don’t buy until after you’ve tried to connect. You will “regert” it.

by Ifkejjsnwndk

Yes it works but, every time I actually need for it to work it just tries to connect to my Xbox forever and it won’t do anything. Very annoying actually. It’s like do I spend 30 minutes trying to figure out what when wrong to get it to work or do I just get up and use my controller. Not a hard decision.

by BB_gun

I was happy to find a new remote option for 360 since smartglass is discontinued but the thing simply isnt working. All network connections are on point but when it tries to connect i get “null” at the bottom of the interface. What gives?🤷🏽‍♂️

by NuNu0720

Mine was working when I first downloaded but now when I try to connect it keep saying trying to connect to engine 1 and then “nil” will pop up! Idk what’s going on with that even after uninstalling then reinstalling it still doesn’t work

by Grrhdurwrhht

Some times it works but most times it works witch is not very often usually have to enter the IP address and when it doesn’t work it says connecting and sends me to my home screen.

by Xman36582

Whenever I try it doesn’t say I connected and I have my allow all devices on, on my Xbox idk

by Trumyboi

To many crashes and ads but it works !

by Uv Scutti

Bugs sometimes won’t connect to the Xbox tho

by Poppoockc

I can’t believe it! How can this thing actually connect to your Xbox. But it can somehow. I wasn’t allowed to have my controller during the week but this thing saved me! Thank you for making Remotecontrol!!! ❤️👍🏼😂😁

by Stephen Kurisko

Sometimes doesn’t work but still good product

by Falosumenc

I have a question can you play the games on your Xbox in Remotecontrol?

by Ibramust

Bloody does the job as intended. Might as well go for ad-free version if it keeps doing a good job.
