Remotie: remote for Samsung TV

I’ve used other remote apps before but they all failed, this one actually worked, and yes there is a paywall for some features, but I think that is fair, I mean they have to raise some money to keep their app alive, and the good thing is that the remote control is free, which others don’t have, and I like that, the only reason, I’m suprised a developer actually thought a bout people’s need and aren’t money hungry like others, and everything is fair play to be honest, I don’t really complain about the paywall thing for typing since I understand the reason, everything about is app is good and when I entered the pin it worked!! So I like this application.

I downloaded then upgraded the app and it has enhanced my experience with my Smart TV. Searching for stuff is easier thanks to the keyboard and pulling up apps is more seamless. The touch pad function needs work though. It’s slightly easier to navigate with the web browser using the touch pad, but outs unclear how to use it to actually select stuff. That’s perhaps the biggest downside, but if they fix this, I would use my TVs web browser a lot more. In summary, its not perfect, but it’s way better than the remote.

I used an older version of this app for quite a few years and never really had issues with it at all. I recently updated my device and decided to get all my apps up to date as well. This app connects to my tv fine and has auto connect once you open the app which is an improved feature over the older version I was using. However, I can still use volume up/down and that’s about all its good for. If a swipe the remote over to go the the smart hub remote controls, every button has the pop up ad to purchase the full version. That’s quite annoying but even worse is it won’t let you access smart hub AT ALL!!! Then on top of that, you can’t even get back to the volume and channels control screen because of the annoying pop up. I closed the app, removed from background, disconnected from tv and now every time it opens it goes straight to smart hub controls screen with all the annoying pop ups. This is is absolutely useless junk. Deleted from phone.
