Connect TV Remote

I downloaded this because the SmartThings app keeps losing connection to my tv for some reason lately and I’m tired of having to constantly reconnect it, so I thought I’d give this app a try. Although it connected to my tv after a few minutes, it will not let you bypass the allow permission unless you have your actual TV remote to hit ok, so therefore it’s absolutely useless in my situation. If you have your actual remote during setup it might work out fine, but I was super disappointed this didn’t work for us.

I’m in for the night on a Friday and I realized my dog chewed up my Roku remote beyond repair. I found this app and immediately connected to my TV and was able to use it just like I do with the remote!! Amazing!

Not only does it cost $7 a week!! for you to have a virtual remote for your own tv but once you subscribe, you cannot cancel within the app. I was unable to find any option within the settings that allows for you to see your subscription or payment method or any of the typical information a subscription service will usually provide. It makes you feel trapped. If I hadn’t know that that Apple Store shows you your subscriptions and allows you to cancel them from the store, I’m sure I would have been frantically emailing the customer service for weeks, racking up bills for $7, never to be seen again. Not to mention, my Samsung smart tv was not even support by the app so it was useless so me immediately.
