   The IR Remote does not work at all, there are no way to change the settings rather than switch between 45 different button arrangements all of which do not work. There's no way to specify a device or anything. And the ads, They are so persistent and cannot be skipped. I spent an hour trying to use this app with absolutely no success.

   Life Saver I just got an old TV from my friend and she said she lost both remotes of the Roku express and the TV. I didn't try it with the TV but it worked with the Roku!! The problem is even the Roku app cannot control the device if it's not already connected to the WiFi. So this little app just saved me time and effort to buy a new remote!!

   This app has so many adds that I had to give it one star. Not only are you getting 1 add for every 3 tries to sync but i tried 139 different channels for the TV and it was an add for every 3 tries. It turned a simple sync into a dreadful experience. Some adds aren't kid friendly, another 1 star. It never found a channel to sync to my TV. Another 1 star.

   While the app does detect and recognise my TVs (unlike many other apps I tried), the remote itself doesn't work. I tried raising and lowering volume, muting, turning off two different TVs, etc... but none of the commands worked. There are also way too many ads. I understand that the app is free, but the type of ads and the way they're placed are making its usage (if it worked I mean) very disadvantageous.

   Pain. Absolutely aweful. The app asks for a 5-star review before you've even installed and tested the first remote. (BIG red flag!!) The ads are EVERYWHERE!!!!! There may have been an option to pay for ad free version, and I did briefly look for it, but I got so disgusted with it, so quickly I deleted it shortly after installing it. Run away, find something better. This sucks.

   I selected my TV brand (Toshiba) from a long list, then I was presented with another long list of remote control model numbers. I had to find the model on the back of my TV, then look up the user manual for the TV to find the model number of the remote control. It took some research, but finally I was able to get the correct remote loaded in the app. But then none of the buttons worked for my TV.

   The only reason why I give this a 1 star is because I don't know what that list is all about after selecting the TV brand. I thought it was TV models at first, but found out that it was remote control models instead. After figuring that out, I couldn't find my specific remote that I need for my Sanyo DP32640 TV(which calls for a GXBM remote). The config just isn't there. There's also options on the original remote for specific funtions that seems to be difficult to change for configurations?

   The app has a long list of manufacturers that takes a long time to scroll through and then you have to select your remote's encoding from a list with no scan function. If you get it wrong you have to sit through two ads and start over from the beginning. I don't have the patience to see if one of the ones I didn't try works with this method. Edit: I found the remote's model number. The program doesn't have it anyway.

   Very little in the way of instructions. Choosing Sony as the TV brought up a huge list of TV or remote models (was not clear) None of which matched the Sony TV model i have. Maybe 6 or 7 ads or prompts to download other apps within the 5 min i used the app. There does seem to be a huge number of models listed which the only reason im giving it 2 stars instead of 1

    I could cope with the ads if it worked for my TV. Another person rated this a one because of the frustrations they encountered with finding their remote through the vast selections and the massive ads, but I tried it any way because ads don't bother me so much. They were mostly pop ups that could be quickly closed and a couple 5 second ads. My brand of tv only had 4 remote selections so it was easy to test each one. Except NONE of them worked! Sad.
