Smart Remote for Sony TV,Audio

Great app with lots of functionality. However, I often turn off my TV using the app and then lock my phone. Then when i unlock my phone, my TV automatically boots back up, but the app was briefly open before I switch to do something, else. Can you make it so you have to press the power button to turn it on, or make it a toggle setting “Automatically turn on when opening the app” Thanks!

The app actually works and it’s good as far as my usage goes, I would love if they would edit the way you increase/decrease volume I’m sure some other buttons as well, can only think right now about volume anyway it should be something like Netflix where instead of pressing and pressing you would hold the button move it up or down to change volume. Oh also I remember ones it was hectic to try type in search I don’t know if it’s an issue with TV systems or maybe it can be fix I’m talking about instead of going letter by letter it would be easier to just type in app then it would show on the TV. Thank you!

Half the time this app can’t connect to the TV, I typically have to restart it 2 or 3 times before it finds the TV, and then it can take upwards of 30 Seconds to connect. If I turn off my phone screen then re-enter the app, it connects but the directional buttons are all backwards, left is right, up is down, etc. Finally, merely starting the app turns the TV on when it connects, however there is no indicator as to whether the TV is currently on or off in the app. The number of times I’ve gone to close the app while upstairs in the middle of the night then had to go downstairs to see if the TV was on is ridiculous. For a paid app, this is absolutely terrible and the developers should be ashamed. I’m a software engineer and if I ever built anything this bad I would probably quit out of embarrassment. I’m giving it 2 stars because in the rare occasion it connects, it does actually control the TV.
