Summary

This app receives predominantly negative feedback, with many users expressing strong dissatisfaction over its pricing model. A significant number of complaints revolve around the mandatory, often weekly, subscription fee, which users deem excessive and a "scam" for a basic remote control function. Many are frustrated by being forced to pay before even testing the app's functionality or connectivity, with some reporting the app doesn't work, connects only briefly, or offers limited functions like volume control. Furthermore, several users have reported issues with unsolicited charges and difficulty obtaining refunds, while a paradoxical requirement of needing a working physical remote for initial setup is also highlighted.
