So happy!. Somehow misplaced the remote and I tried a few others that didn’t work at all! This paired directly to my tv, no effort. I did pay the $3.99 upgrade for the Pro version (offered in the app) but it gives me all the control of the initial remote on all the phones and iPads in the house. So it’s like having 4 remotes for $3.99.

Better apps out there.. I downloaded for my Samsung smart tv. Pop up ads like CRAZY. The connectivity was usually a hassle. Sometimes didn’t work; rare, but nonetheless. Pro cost $4 and with that same cost went with smart remote that had none of those issues. Only reason I had this one for so long was cause the ability to use the directional pad before buying.

Works. Well it works well. I bought the full version but I really would like the option to add a sleep button. Can you please work o. That feature.

BUY FULL VERSION YOU WONT REGRET. This is a great app there a few small improvements they could make but I'm sure they'll think of them eventually. You won't regret buying the full version it really is like a more functional remote on your phone 👌👌👌

Very weak. So it’s cool at first. Then I hit tools to put on a sleep timer, how do I move the cursor. O they want you to buy that feature, no way to select what you want with the touch pad option, it’s a add on. Waste of my time. Don’t download unless you want to pay to use

Garbage. Horrible , crazy thing is that the free version worked perfectly fine, as soon as you pay for the pro and remove the ads, it doesn’t work, and if the tv is turns off, the app doesn’t let you turn on the tv from the ap, wish I never paid for it. Don’t waist your money !!

Thumbs up. Have no idea why my tv remote stopped working but it did. The only button that worked on it was the power button. It wasn’t a huge problem since we use the fire stick but the need to change volume was a big thing. This works perfectly!!! The tv/remote brands app didn’t work at all!!!

Bull crap. I would give this a 4 star if I could have attempted trying this remote without being bombarded by literally 7 or more ads in less than 3 minutes. Every time I tried to use the arrows for typing on my tv keyboard an add would pop up within 10 second intervals exactly. It has a great layout. I love the arrows. It would be great if it had an actual keyboard on it. Also if the bloody ads would chill out long enough for me to decide if I want to keep it. Unfortunately I would rather go pay 30 bucks for another tv remote than pay the 3.99 for something I can’t properly check out. Sorry guys. What a bummer.

Awesome BUT. Its an amazing app automatically picked up my tv without any issues works better than the original controller.......BUT the adds are out of control!!!! I should not have to buy a simplistic app to use it without adds. I have a ton of games that do not throw out this many adds!! Id give a five star because this works amazingly but the adds are out of control

Beautiful app. Critical flaw. A stunning looking app. Don’t mind paying to remove ads either. However, that is all undone by omitting IOS backgrounding support. Using the app 20 times in a session is an exercise in futility. The app resyncs every time you click off it. I’m using another remote app now, while not as pretty, at least works without reconnecting every time I want to adjust the volume!

Junk app. Hook line and sink; this app worked great, so I decided to support it and get the full app without ads. What a total waste of money. I wrote a email to the support line and of course, no response. I would like my money back. This remote app is garbage; stay far away folks.

Connection loss. Constantly loses connection with my TV and the power button doesn’t work. Otherwise very helpful now that our dog has had the remote for dinner.

Refund. You have to literally disconnect and start completely over each time to operate the remote. If you’re looking to hurry and watch tv, this is not the remote you should get. It doesn’t do what you pay it to do and that is UNFORTUNATE. If ever I felt a refund was necessary, this would be it.

Ok overall. Often unable to connect with the TV unless I reboot my phone just before I would like to use it. Once it does connect, it works as expected

Not worth the money. Paid money for this app and it’s not worth it. Paid app doesn’t allow users to use the qwerty keyboard on my iPhone to search titles faster. I thought that’s what I was paying for. Highly disappointed.

Connects to TV but........ I am able to connect to my tv, but there’s no way for me to get to the control to actually use the remote. This app make me nervous having access to IP addresses and connecting to my television especially since I could not use the app.

Cancer on my iPad. Instant hatred for this app. The pop-up ads try to harass you into buying the add-free version and make this app absolutely awful and the free version unusable as far as I’m concerned. I had this app running for a total of 10 minutes and had to shut down and restart 3 times. Was presented with at least 8 full-screen “hijack the device” adds in that short time. Really wanted to like it, and I typically pay for ad-free upgrades but this was too much. DELETE. Seemed promising until it sucked.

Unusable - mostly due to ads. There do not appear to be directional arrows to select between "smart" apps. Left and right arrows only adjust the volume. Directional buttons might be hidden somewhere in this app, but I'm giving up looking after about 5 minutes because I'm interrupted every 15 seconds by a candy crush ad. How did this get more positive reviews than the other samsung remote apps?

Thank Y’all for This app. I broke my Samsung curve smart tv remote and the d pad on the back sucked to use to navigate the tv . Thanks to this app I can lay and relax again and still scroll through the TV and didn’t have to call the company, pay and order a new remote

Worst remote app ever. I only gave one star because zero wasn’t an option. It takes forever to load/connect to the tv. Every time I want to use the app I have to delete then redownload in order for any of the buttons to work. There are also a ton of ads that pop up making the remote unusable until the ad is over.

Connection. Each time trying to connect with same TV need confirmation from TV (you need TV original remote). This just defeats the purpose of the app.

A War Crime. Don’t even consider this. The greedy developer’s top priority is to assault you with sketchy ads, some that take you to malware sites and scams. This would be a very dangerous app for someone to run if they are susceptible to online ad scams and phishing. You cannot even evaluate the app without dealing with the onslaught of misleading ads. It’s like tying a string to a $20 bill and dragging it through a crack den. You know what you are going to get. The solution is to not go near apps that treat their would be customers like bait. Uninstalled.

Slow. Slow connection 2 my tv every time I pic my phone up.

How do I customize the remote?. I’ve purchased the pro version but still cannot find how to customize the buttons. I’d give it five stars if I could find how to customize it. Help, anyone?

It had problems now not working. I had small issues before. After I updated the app now I can find my TV discovered. I can’t use it.

Works, but paywall for a basic feature. The key feature of navigation to control apps, menu items is locked to a paywall. Only use it has is if you want to switch channels, change volume levels, pause, play, etc.

Crappy app. It takes for ever to load and connect. If I switch to another app and comes back then it reloads again and takes for ever to connect even though I am literally standing in front of the TV. It does not worth the money

Navigation. I downloaded it for the cursor movement on screen. It could be a lot better at moving. It’s really hard, but hopefully I’ll get used to it. The rest is awesome. Keyboard could sync a bit faster with the on screen input field.

Romotie 2. Well designed and good match to actual Tv remote. However, it does not allow the set to be turned on at initial app opening or as an option.

Samsung review. Wish I could find the remote. This app is clunky compared to the actual remote. They should have just had the same layout instead of changing the layout

Could be great if all functions worked again. Samsung Smarthub and touchpad Select functionality no longer work, as they did several IOS updates ago.

CEO. Excellent, sync up was fast to my Samsung, even found my Roku TV. Make sure you upgrade to Pro version for the $3.99 cost, well worth it, performs flawlessly

It's free. I had it before it got changed to the pro version. I don't use it but it's a free "pro" version of an app that probably cost money.

It was fine until I bought it. Used the free version for almost 3 months with no persistent issues except the ads which don’t really qualify as an issue. HOWEVER, literally the second I buy it I start having serious connectivity issues. For some reason the app can’t stay connected to my tv for more than 9 seconds at a time. This is a huge problem, it makes scrolling through Netflix/Hulu/Prime/YouTube impossible!! I feel like I just paid $4 to be able to turn my tv off(cause you can’t turn it on btw).

This remote can not turn on a tv?. I purchased the pro app before realizing this app doesn’t have the ability to turn on a tv (It can only can turn it off). This is obviously the single most important feature of any remote control and should be more clearly noted in the download and advertising. Very close to being an exceptional product but this purchase left me feeling a little bit disappointed and dare I say misled. I contacted customer service to troubleshoot and would most defiantly update this review with 5 stars if resolved.

Needs origins remote to connect app. Because the original remote is needed to connect this app to the TV repeatedly, it defeats the purpose. If you’ve lost your original remote, then, based on my experience, you can’t use this app, until you can authorize it to connect to the TV by approving it with the original remote. If you have the original remote, there’s no need for this remote.

Power Button. I think it’s ABSOLUTELY ridiculous that I bought this app to use instead of my remote and it can’t even turn my tv on.

Can’t turn tv on. The app won’t connect to the tv when it’s off. It also has to reconnect every single time your phone turns off, other than that the could be great.

Great app, terrific one new UI. The previous UI was so much nicer. I also liked the fact that I had a large touchpad to work with. Yes the new UI is in line with the old style Samsung remotes. But other then being in sync with an ugly design, this was a step backwards. I also liked the previous option of being able to customize the buttons. Please bring back an option for the old UI and customization. Function-wise the app is still great. The main reason I use this. I’ve purchased both the versions and they have worked great with my TV’s.

Want to see ads?. It’s very difficult to give this app much more than two stars. Maybe if I could actually try out the free version I’d be able to say it was better than that. But I had a hard time, like I see others did too, doing anything with the app before a new ad would pop up. In their defense other free remote apps do the same thing... but that’s still frustrating.

For Samsung. Do not waist your time and money for this app it’s just not working

It actually works. I didn't think it wold work but it did

Junky app full of ads. Don’t waste your time with this app as it won’t work most of time. They show annoying ads every 5 minutes, yes, every 5 minutes. Doesn’t detect my Samsung TV most of times. Ads stay for at least 3-5 seconds.

Doesn't work now.... Well after I updated this app it stoped connecting to my Smart Tv. It worked perfectly fine before the update though.

Works fine except turning on tv. The remote works fine except two major flaw: 1) cannot turn on tv, 2) always need to wait to reconnect after a few minute of not using the remote.

Buy it. I know everyone is always looking for a Free app to use. I personally couldn’t deal with the ads and I refuse to pay 80 for another remote. Soooo I bought the app and it works perfectly!

Really awesome when it works. It usually doesn’t work when I start it so I have to disconnect and reconnect devices. Just a little inconvenient but it works great after that

Its whatever. This only works 50% of the time. frustrating at times

ITS AWESOME. It’s pretty good the only thing about it is the delay when you press the button but other than that it’s really great

Remote for CHEAP ADDS. Beware, this free app is extremely dull & sluggish. But the most annoying thing is the overwhelming number of pop up adds flooding the app while in use. And that’s probably why you’re constantly prompted to upgrade for their $3.99 USD version instead. This is another app designer selling out the user’s quality expectations. You’re just bombarded with cheap annoying adds that only benefit the app designer’s pocket. Nonsense!

Pretty awesome but a bit slow. Love the feeling of being able to mess with the tv controls. Parents have no idea that I’m doing it. Main reason I got it really but other than that pretty cool to operate the tv from my phone.

Hopeless. Don’t waste your money. I downloaded this app on two devices. Each time you open the app a notification on the TV requires you to allow the app to work. The only way you can tick yes is by using another TV remote so you can press the OK button, which defeats the reason to have the app. I email the developer nearly two weeks ago, no reply.

No feedback. Several times I’ve written to you and not once have I had a reply. What’s the point?

It’s ridiculous. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. It’s not worth the money. The creator also doesn’t answer their emails. So what’s the use in sending them feedback.

No longer works after short time in use.. Like the “no longer working” review. Paid for the app and it stopped working and won’t connect. Even removed and re-added... still won’t connect. Now free app says to upgrade for a certain number of models.

Same as other poor Samsung tv apps. If you want a potential customer to buy the app then let them test it first in its entirety.

This app has its purpose. While the app isn’t perfect, people who complain that they may as well use their TV remote, the advantage of you using your phone is when your TV remote doesn’t work. Occasionally my Samsung TV remote will turn the TV on & off but do nothing else. That’s where apps ***like*** this one are handy. It allows me to use my TV until my Samsung remote finished its hissy fit. While the app allows you to turn the TV off, I’m not sure you can use it to turn the TV on

Touch Pad very slow and poor, remote reconnects every time. Touch Pad very slow and poor, remote reconnects every time and have to enter passcode everytime open the app.

Not the best. Room for improvement.. Keeps cutting out or not working. Sometimes you can only change the channel or volume but not turn the tv off. Feels like the 80s at our house, never walked to the tv so much.

Not a good app. Glad I didn’t purchase the upgrade. Very slow to connect to TV when it starts up. Ads only pop up when you want to use it! Very annoying. Only works when the TV is turned on - doh! What’s the point in that, still need the original remote to turn the TV on before you can use this app. Smart remote by Tinac is much better for my TV (Samsung Series7 UHD) I’ve deleted it, but I guess I’ll count in the numbers who have downloaded it.

Terribly intrusive ads. Pop up video ads with intrusive sound while trying to use remote. Most important functionality (smart tv navigation) is disabled for free version, can’t even be tested in free version. Dark UX practices. Avoid.

Permission. It always asks me (every single time I connect) to allow my phone to connect the Remotie app which you have to do with the tv remote, well then I might as well use the tv remote instead of the app!!! I downloaded this app specifically for when my tv remote is misplaced (happens often in this house with kids) or not working and the app was working wonderfully but I don’t know what’s happened, maybe in the last update? It won’t let me connect without allowing it from the tv with the remote which I can’t find right now and that’s why I’m using the app. GRRRRRRR frustrating to say the least. One star!

Was ok now it’s not. Zero support from Kraftwerk9. The app was working, but after update no longer discovers the device. Super frustrating after paying for the app post trial period. Don’t pay for it.

Disconnects from TV. When switching between apps on the phone, this app disconnects from the tv so when you switch back to the app it had to reconnect all over again. It means that making checking messages or using another app difficult to do unless you want to go through the reconnection and waiting for the so to come back up. Far far far quicker to use my actual remote control. There is no benefit in having this app. My amp app does better at starting connected to the device. Very poor.

Useless. Not recommended. The App needs to be on constantly for it to work. Anytime you do anything else on your phone the App disconnects and you need to either use your control to reconnect or walk tot the TV. Waste of time.

Doesn’t work even though it states it does for my tv and finds the tv. Don’t bother

No longer connects. Worked great as the free app, and then we upgraded to the full version when our Samsung remote got damaged. Worked for two days... and now it refuses to connect. It times out after half a second. How convenient... pay for the upgrade and all of a sudden doesn’t work. VERY disappointing.

1. Not sure yet - 2. UPDATE: I’m sure now. 1. First Review: App seems to work ok. Doesn’t show up in Family Share. So the upgrade purchase can not be shared in the family. Everyone has to purchase the upgrade separately to get the full use of the app. Not impressed. We are waiting to see if we get a response about that first before deleting it. 2. Second Review: DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. I changed my review to a 1 star from 2. It was working and now it won’t connect at all. Even with the paid upgrade version. It flashes then it spins searching. In a situation like this there should be an option to get your money back. BEWARE.

Disconnects all the time. Stops working at all for no reason

Five. It’s a great app, definitely worth the price. However I know it has to connect but it feels like it takes forever, almost if not always every single time you open the app even if you just close it. Amazing though.

Ads. I get that free apps have ads but having an ad pop over the screen every button press makes it pretty tough to recommend. It does work though.

Do not buy it. Hi everyone. Do not buy it no worth your money and your time. That app not work with and Samsung tv!!

Used to work. Worked until last update. It is a waste of$7 for the latest version.

Remote. Can’t connect paid for mo add and just not working

Thieves. Bought an app that didn’t work, five minutes later tried to get my money back! What a joke! Don’t let them scam you too!!

Sucks. Did not work

Doesn’t work. It doesn’t even work to pull up the smart hub! DONT BUY

Waste of money. App worked on and off for a year, now both versions don’t work at all and zero support/response from developer.

Not supported. Even it connects, but doesn't show its switches to make it work. Not worth the time

Worst app. Disconnects constantly from tv which means you have to reconnect every time you exit the app. And when you get it to work, you have an ad or an invite to purchase premium version EACH and every SiNGLE time you click a button. Do yourself a favour and buy a physical remote

Not working. Wasted my time nd money.. I bought the remotie which guided me to remotie2.. I paid for full version but not able to get it without adds.Sent number off emails/ feed backs but nobody is responding...sorry

Bad app. Doesn’t work. At all

Works. Works but now it makes my iPhone 11 and iPhone 8 run burning hot

Don't waist your time - no keyboard. You have to pay to get the keyboard....

Works good!. I have a 58" Samsung smart tv and this remote connected to my tv easily. It showed a pin on the screen and I just entered it into the app! Can control my tv easily from my phone. Works fantastically

Not strong enough. Unable to retrieve my Samsung TV when shut down... Also the keyboard isn't activated after purchasing full version... I sent a nay but no response... Disappointed

Rarely works. Rarely works.

Total garbage. Don’t throw your money away

Romotie and romotie2. Both cannot discover my samsung un series 2018 model pluse i spent $6 to update it so I could use the key pad its never worked and I never get a response when i send in feed back for help BEWARE Seems like a scam

Useless. Remotie 1 seemed to be a good app. Remotie 2... well... just installed the app, opened it and 5 seconds later, an AD! Ok... Then you want to use the touchpad... “pay us 5,50$ then you’ll become a PRO customer”... haha bye bye Remotie 2! Uninstalling it right away.

Yuck!!!. What a waste of money. After paying for an app that was working but had many ads before has decided not to work now that it is paid for.

Trackpad very poor. This app is pretty to look at but performs very poorly. Features the same as free alternatives. Trackpad is erratic and extremely frustrating to use. I went back to mytifi.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Had to pay. Had to pay 4 bucks to fully use remote always having to refind tv after every use

Hardly connects. Downloaded remote the min I bought it it has connection prob doesn’t work now

It used to be helpful not any more!. This app is the worst now,it used to be good but now only responding sometimes and on top of that the adds are extremely frustrating. I do not recommend this app!

No longer works. This app used to work with my Samsung tv but it just goes for a loop now. Tries to connect to the tv and fails repeatedly.

Disconnects often. Won’t stay connected to my TV for more than a minute before it loses connection and takes up to 5 mins to get back. Terrible. Want my money back.

Tried it, likes it, bought it, fail. Worked fine discounting all the ads, so I dropped $4 on it. Now I can't even connect to the TV. Two emails to support have gone unanswered. Waste of money.

I do not like this. When I got it it said I had to get the first one to make it work and then I couldn’t get it

Ads make the free version unusable. Normally I accept ads as part of a free version, but the ads make this app unusable. If they didn’t bombard me with the ads I would have probably brought the app.

never worked again. worker just fine the first time. after launching the app again, it sees my TV but I am unable to control the tv.

My dog ate my remote.... Yeah, she’s a chewer! This app works great! Took 2 seconds to connect and very easy to use!

Doesn't work. It did very well showing it connected. And that's about it. Won't go into the controls. Model is a 55" LED Samsung from Costco.

Worth getting no advertisement. Works great. Fast response.

I didn’t understand. Well after I connected the app to my tv nothing happened, I mean the control doesn’t appear

Only works when it wants too. This app is terrible. They don’t let you use the touch pad unless you buy the pro then it won’t connect to your tv consistently. Very frustrating.

Not very reliable. Drops connection often from just 8-10 ft away. Pro version keep reinstalling and I have to restore purchase to eliminate ads. I expected more for $3.99. Should have been $0.99.

Big Mistake!. I downloaded this app, and it worked fine. I paid for the ad free version, and it hasn’t worked right since. Now, I can’t even get it to recognize my tv, after just using it!

Disconnects each time. I used to love this app, I even paid for the pro version, but now it disconnects every time a switch apps. So I have to reconnect using my tv remove each and every time I switch apps or sleep my screen.

Question. Once I connect my tv I get stuck at the same screen where it found my tv.... how do I get to the remote ?

Hard to connect. First it doesn’t connect with tv Second it takes so long to connect

Can’t connect. Was working alright for a few days, then unable to connect with tv. Confused and frustrated.

Absolutely unusable... Too much ads, don’t waste your time.. Absolutely & definitely unusable... Too much ads, don’t waste your time.

latest update ruined the app - I want my money back!. I paid for this app, it cannot even do landscape mode on an iPad. Also the UI is ruined now. It used to work on my new Samsung 7 TV, now it does not expand to use the entire screen. Good app, gone bad!

2. Slow loading

App won’t go to main menu. Downloaded this app and it connected with my TV, but I can’t get the “remote” part to load on my phone to use.

Useless. App is useless, full of apps and to use the keyboard you have to pay, be straight forward and don’t put it for free instead of making people download it and then say: Hey! The keyboard is worth $ 3. Not to mention all the ads.

No customer Service and doesn’t work. Had to get this app because I lost my remote. Worked for all of 2 days. Then nothing.

Paid for full version and... and the keyboard doesn't show up! that was the main reason why i got this!

Sometimes it work ok sometimes it doesn’t. There is no rhyme or reason to the madness

Constantly disconnects, track pad works poorly. The remote is only usable for the most basic of features

Seriously?. I have this app for about a week it worked great. I paid for it and it has not worked since. Very disappointing

Paid for full version and regret it. Have a difficult time connecting to my Samsung. My wife has a free app that works much better. Will likely switch to that.

Does not work all the time. Works sometimes, takes too long to connect to TV and it won’t turn the TV on

Can’t get through setup. Can’t get through setup because of all the adds, going to remove it! If this is what I can expect, I’m not wasting my time!

Do not buy. App was sluggish when it did work months ago. Now it recognizes my TV but when i select it i go back to the TV select screen. And i paid for it like an idiot

Never works. Only works the first time I download it and then never again. Annoying o have to reinstall every time I really need it

Control. Everything works ok but when the tv is off there’s no way how to turn it back on... ☹️😡 Please fix this !!

Worst remote ever.. Had high hopes for this when I bought it. Turned out to be the worst product ever. The number pad won’t work properly. Keeps skipping the middle number of three. The touch pad is totally useless.

Ads?. Yup, just imagine trying to hit the pause button and up pops a video advertisement. Quirky. Stops working for no reason. Pass on this free version.

Having to allow. If you leave the app, then go back to it, you need to reconnect it every time. By clicking allow by using the buttons on your TVs. Don’t buy.

Got worse. Was working then stopped even recognizing my tv. Also the screen on the app isn’t aligned and it only shows half of the remote (iPhone X)

Worked great...until I paid for it. Downloaded the app, was annoyed by the ads, but other than that liked it so figured hey what’s $4...couple weeks later the app can’t even find the tv 🙄

Overlap in frames. The application overlap between frames, the buttons doesn't center and some may hide in sides. The in-app text behind box.

Do not download. This app is impossible to use, it pops up ads every minute (not exaggerating). Don't waste your time. Such a shame.

Good app.. It would be a 5 star is it weren’t for the ads. And more importantly a Apple Watch app

Doesn’t turn on my tv and I paid for it. Trash

Disappointed. App has to connect every time and it comes up slow. Pro was not better. Would like a refund.

Ehh. Used for the longest with ads that popped up every minute and the second I actually buy it somehow it stopped connecting to my TV I paid $4 for it not to work.

Trash. The only thing it did was connect to my tv. Never went to controls

No quite yet. The app cannot turn the tv on once it has been turned off... that’s silly.

No left, right, up or down buttons. :(. No left, right, up or down buttons. :(
