What a joke..... I’ll try to find a quality Philips Smart TV remote online. I can’t even attempt to turn the volume up (didn’t even work btw) without an ad popping up. Back to back. All reviews about that are correct. 🙄

Too many ads to work. Every time I pressed a control command on the app I got an ad to join Facebook, of which I’m already a member, and the ad look like it was not from Facebook. I deleted the application from my phone it’s a waste of time

What a joke. First of all nothing happens at all. I’ve tried and tried. The app shut my phone completely down. It doesn’t do anything wish I could give a negative star. Absolutely ridiculous

Crap. It finds the network address of the tv during the scan. The problem is when you try any of the functions it states that there is no network connection.

Waste of Time. Doesn’t do anything but prompt adds and try to make you pay. I’d like to try it out before I pay but it won’t let you. Don’t waste your time

Useless ad spamming app. Phillips either get in or get out of the smart TV business. you have other great products, this is one you fall way short on. Tv is good... smart tv is a reach at best. This app finds the TV, you choose it, it looks like it will work, but does nothing other than pop up ads. Have some more respect for your company. Don’t download this app it’s worthless.

Connection. Trying to scan and connect your TV should not be this hard! I’ve tried for 20mins and it still won’t connect to my TV

Detected network but did not work. The app detected the devices on my network but it did not work . An add for Discount+ kept popping up every time I tried to use the app to change the channel, volume, and use other functions.

Useless. This app is a waste of time. Every time I pressed a button ads would pop up. It doesn’t actually work for your tv even though it shows as connected. It’s only good for seeing a bunch of ads.

Not working. I have the same problem. I connected to my tv. It still did not work.

Worthless. This app did nothing but pop up adds when I tried to use it. It never worked with my TV and it was a complete waste of my time. You would think that a company like Phillips would have but more R&D in a product that represents them.

Disgusting Waste of Time!!!. I don’t know if you get paid per download but this and every other app you have is a complete waste of time Apple really should do something about you! You’re also a terrible person!

If you want to waste time this is great.. This app is great for ads. If you thought would control the TV… not even close. If you wanted to watch see ads instead of watching TV than you came to right place. If you wanted a faster way to control the TV instead of looking for the remote, it would probably be faster to order one online than use this to control the TV.

Can’t connect to TV. When I search for my TV, it shows up and I click it. Then nothing happens. And it also doesn’t help that this review system does white text on a white background…

Click bait trash.. App is trash and maybe a scam. Found my smart tv but didn’t work. As you press buttons it randomly throws up full screen ads so if you continue to press the screen you click through to an ad. 🙄

Scam or an app that never worked. If I could give it negative stars I would. App doesn’t move when I try to troubleshoot or look for help if says I need membership, so I make the stupidest decision I’ve ever made, and paid the 2.99. The app still doesn’t move or work, or maybe not for Philips tv ? Idk but please be smart and don’t pay the membership when it doesn’t work.

Doesn’t work. I read the review and I must agree it doesn’t work. When I push certain buttons nothing happens but on the enter, etc it goes straight to an ad. This is really to bad because I would love to use my phone.

Not starting off so great. I click the tv I want then it ask if I want to download another app I click no and I won’t connect. So i connect one time and it’s done? I don’t want the other app I just want to connect to my tv without 12 million questions!!

HORRIBLE WITH ADS!!. DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP!! tried getting this app after losing the remote too many times, looked a bit sketchy but that “eh what the heck” so i install it and it asked to sync through bluetooth which was quick and perfect! After trying multiple times near AND FAR the remote still did not work and stupid ads kept interfering!! IS THIS A FREAKIN VIRUS!!?? DO NOT GET! if i could give zero stars i would.

Does not work with my TV. I have a Phillips Roku TV & neither app works. Nor does SamRemote although no surprise. As info, the SamRemote does work fairly well with my Samsung TV. Just wish it would remember the set & not scan for new connection every time the set is powered/app is launched.

Junk. Philips tv is garbage. I have a brand new Philips 5000 series 4K ULTRA HD TV model#50PLF5603/F7 TV WORKS GREAT, however no apps will work, and the remote that comes with the tv is literally the worst quality remote I’ve ever used. It is so light and very weak. The buttons are so hard to push and it is such a pain to push a button ten times for it to actually work smh

Doesn’t Work!. Remote doesn’t work. Tried to troubleshoot shoot through customer service chat. They ask for a screenshot of the remote. Never heard from them again. Can’t get them to respond again...

Not working. Tell me why is this is not working

Good luck. The app works fine, but the amount of ads is absurd, I’m fine with some ads, but almost every time I change channel? Too much

Don’t Work. I’m with them. This app is useless. The only good thing it let you connect to your phone. I did changing password and all to my WiFi just got it not to even work. Smh. Either take the app off or improve it.

Works well with iPhone 6. Handy to install and set up, your set must be connected to your home network. Works with iPhone 6 but not XR.

Hmm. It found my tv and didn’t work. :( This other person here that wrote a review apparently didn’t read the app description that you are not affiliated with Philip.

This is kind of STEALING. This app just made for stealing from users who downloaded it. This is not working at all but developer earns money by ADS. In fact they are stealing from our packets by pushing ADS when you opened app and trying to connect it. Unfortunately have to tap a star for registering review,otherwise even half star is too much for these thieves. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT

Crap. If I could delete it twice without downloading it again I would. Worse app ever won’t scan for Wi-Fi instead scams you and plays a ad.

Terrible!. I’ve tried everything and this app does not work. I’ve only ever owned philips TVs and I’ve been able to get other apps to work but this app does nothing it finds your tv but that’s about it because it doesn’t do anything. Don’t waste your time and this is a real shame considering this is an app made especially for philips TVs.

Good luck. In my opinion I wouldn’t waste my time again. Downloaded the app followed all the directions, still nothing. Even went the extra step further to input the IP address myself, still nothing. Complete waste of time you get nothing other than ads when trying to use the remote even when it tells you it’s found your tv and it’s connected. Quite annoying!

LOSER!!!. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS APP!!! Apple should be ashamed of themselves for allowing these remote app scams. That is exactly what they are - A SCAM!!! They scam you with the ease of use, they scam you with their adds, and almost 99% of the time you can’t even get a connect to the actual TV!!! Then they try and through an alternate app for free. WHICH IT IS NOT FREE!!!! SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM......!!!!!!!!

Waste of Time. It says that it finds my TV but no matter which button I press it says that it must be connected to WiFi and nothing works. Also even if it did work it pops up an ad every 2 or three clicks. Terrible, do not download!!!

Fingernails on chalk board. One start only cause there is no negative star rating ..... SO EVERYTHING LITERALLY EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THIS Phillips TV all apps all my time all the money I saved NOT worst $&)(:& electronic devices I have ever owned my Toaster works better and has faster processing speeds this 55 in TV has been a train wreck the wifi receiver TRASH THE screen mirror hahahahah trash all apps including this one trash Phillips it's time to give up on TV's

Don’t bother. You all need to fix this!! I’m having same problem the other consumer was back in January and it’s June! Either update and fix the problem or get out of the app business. I hope apple drops you guys.

Does not work. WASTE OF A DOWNLOAD!. Does not work. Don’t waste your time. It shows the tv but never actually controls it. Ever time you press a button, for example the volume up button 1 time an ad pops up. This happens ever time you press a button and it does not control the tv. WASTE OF A DOWNLOAD!

Does not work. The app has you choose your tv to connect to them never connects and does not work to control the tv at all. I tried numerous times.

Was in hospital when free trial ended. Had no access to end before automatically charged, requested a refund considering the situation, but the money was more important. It’s only $5, but after a $3000 hospital bill, it just really stung, especially since I never got the app to do what I had gotten it for.

The WORST app I’ve ever encountered- EVER. Doesn’t work any better than their TVs. HORRIBLE! So many ads streaming across that it’s ridiculous. The app doesn’t work AT ALL. Not at all. It’s a total waste of time. Wish I could rate it in the negative- because 1 star is 100 times better than the rating it deserves. Don’t waste your time. You’ve been warned:).

Don’t waste your time. After waiting for the crazy amount of ads to finish their day in the sun I was finally able to scan for my TV. It said it found my TV. I clicked on it and nothing. So, I went through the whole process again of waiting for the ads and scanning and clicking and once again nothing happened.

It’s for the people that don’t know how to urs and iPhone. It really good that I could do anything that my aunt and uncle so I could prank them

Doesn’t work. I probably should’ve checked the ratings before downloading, could’ve saved myself some time because it doesn’t work at all.

Connects but doesn’t work .. This app will allow the app to connect to your tv but it will not work , I connected mine to my tv and pushed “ Start to scan “ it found my tv but it did not work none of the controls where doing anything ..

Seriously!?!?. So I get this app thinking it’ll help me out and actually function... nope! Doesn’t work at all! So I think okay, maybe if I pay for the ad removal it’ll work... nope! To the creators of this app, I want my fracking money back you dirty thieves! If I could have taken stars from you I would have! This app is absolute trash!

Ads and usage. Too many ads and even though my phone was connected to the same WiFi it wouldn’t work and the ads kept popping up.

Just unbelievable.... It connected to my Philips tv and is able to control it but EVERY TIME you press a button another add pops up. Every single time. Needless to say I deleted it immediately. I was willing to pay for it but it was so greedy that it was just disgusting.

Horrible remote won’t work on philips 4K. I have a Philips 4K TV. I downloaded this app to use for my tv. Doesn’t work. It will say on the app connected to t.v. It’s sad when a specific app for a product doesn’t work. It’s specifies Philips TVs ??? Man the adds just come and go when you try to do anything as well. In app purchase. Try the free version. Don’t pay for the subscription unless your remote works as described. Now to find a universal remote. Do not recommend this remote

AD INFESTED! DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.. Every time you click a button an ad will pop up. You won’t even be able to close the ads. It’ll automatically take you to safari. Even if you do get past the ads the remote does not and will not work. Please don’t download this bs. You will be disappointed

just a bad app. Literally just doesn’t work. Don’t waste your time trying to make it work. It’s not a phone thing or anything like that; multiple people tried where I’m at, didn’t work. Not an old tv either; perfectly up to date. Just a bad app with a load of ads. DO NOT DOWNLOAD

Useless. Trust Me.. I tried the new update and same results. They are just trying to get people to tap ads. Sad. My TV comes up as comparable but still the buttons do nothing. And then on every 6th Tap you get a surprise ad. Don’t waste your time, it's a gimmick. This simply does not work for any TV. Apple, come on. Stop allowing this.

Advert city. Advert every 8 seconds, a joke

Ads. Way too much ads

Works but needs improvement. This app is simple and functional, and most of it works well. It doesn’t show the same battery drain as the official Philips remote app, so that’s a plus. It did not automatically discover my TV, even though TV and phone were on the same network. I had to manually connect to the TV’s IP address. With my TV model (50PUT6102/79), the SmartTV Button in this app does nothing. The equivalent on the physical remote starts the SmartTV apps.

Doesn’t work. Downloaded follow instructions and lots of Ads.

Crap. Doesn’t work.

Useless. Just doesn’t work. Found my TV but no interaction with it whatsoever. Useless.

Didn't work. Was a shame it didn't work. Tried to manually connect using IP addy but still no luck

PURE CRAP. Does not work what so ever

It doesn't work. I can't rate an app that doesn't work

Doesn't work, never has!. I've been trying to get this and many other Philips app's to work for 2 years now. Have done everything possible. Changed network configurations to no end. Configured PC settings, router settings, wireless setting, tried deferent iOS devices,downloaded TV firmware, tried older TV firmware, modem configurations, bought new routers and then some. When I did get close, I continued to get device errors, wrong format errors, does not support device errors. Changed my PC settings,including sharing devices, mapping drives and folders, updated from Windows 7 to 10 operating systems. Absolutely the worst support service. I've spent over 40 hours trying to get this to work. If only 1 person gets this working, I sure would like to know who they are. Don't wast your time unless you call Philips up and get them to promise to fix it or give you the TV for free. What a joke from what was one of the best companies in the world at one time. Yes, they did invent the CD back in the 70's years before anyone knew what it was. Gone from best to last. What a shame.

doesent work. its doesent seem to detect my tv for some reason

Pub agressant trop de pub. Trop de pub

Horrible doesn’t work. First time I opened the app it scanned for my tv and found it right away. I proceeded to press every single button none of them worked. I then went to see if it was paired and scanned again 5 times and this time it would not find my tv. Every single button brings up an add and sometimes even a video add. Very frustrating and doesn't work at all!

So lame. Doesn't work. Smh😒

Doesn't work. Would not connect to my tv!

Connect. Have to hold it close to the tv sensor, that's what I did it connect but still not working 👎

Sad. Doesnt work

Good. It is a very good app.

F U. This is a scam stupid people wasting our time

Dont work. Not worth it

Garbage. Such a garbage app. You pay to remove adds because there’s SO MANY. And it still doesn’t work!! Wth

It didn’t work with my TV. It doesn’t work with my TV after everything was done properly. Can’t work for me.

Not working. Garbage too many ads

Remote. It won’t work on my tv

didn't work. didn't work on Philips 4000 series 40PFL4908

Doesn’t work. Didn’t work at all and also TOO MANY ADDS everything I do I get adds

Adds every second.. Too bad

Doesn't work.. Won't work for me. Don't waste your time. So disappointed in this crap Philips "smart" tv.

Muchos anuncios. Hay demasiados anuncios y ni siquiera se conecta a la TV. Muy mala

Didn’t work. Connected to my tv, but wouldn’t actually do anything for the tv.

Il ne marche pas. Il me marche pas avec TV phillips

Cannot find TV. New Philips smart TV. Both on the same WIFI network. Does not work.

Doesn't work. Doesn't work

Does not work. This is just a way to get people to watch ads. The app doesn’t work.

Useless. If I could give 0/5 stars I would. EVEN GARBAGE IS BETTER THAN THIS

Doesn’t work. Found my tv instantly but doesn’t work on my Philips 4K and there is an AD every couple taps. Absolutely garbage

Worse than useless. I downloaded the app and started it. It scanned for my TV for about 2 seconds, then started playing a video ad. This app is bad. The developer is a bad person.

Muito bom. Ele funciona 😱

BAD BAD BAD. Trash & Garbage together would equal This APP 💥 Roasted

Does not work. App created to annoy users.. 🥲

Does not work. Doesn’t work

Doesn’t work. Doesn’t work connected it following all the props.

Annoyed. Doesn't work

Garbage and scam. Shame!

Not connecting even after manual enter. ☹️☹️☹️😡😡

Doesn't work. Connects to TV but nothing works.

it’s not working. it’s not working

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!

Don’t waste your time. Same issue everyone else is having. It will find my tv but won’t connect and tells me my phone needs to be on the same network as my tv. Which it is.

Terrible. It connects to the tv but then when I press the button it don’t work. Also, wayyy too many ads.

Doesn’t work. My kids keep loosing our remote. I opens the app and I said that it found and connected to my tv but every time I tried to use it I got a message stating that I must connect to my WiFi

Does not work!. Don’t pay for no commercials until you see if it works for you

Crap. We have the remote I just wanted a second for when the hubs lost the remote he swore he never had. Won’t find our smart tv that is on the same network as my phone. Waste of time

Trash. Garbage app doesn’t work. Just gives you a bunch of pop up ads. Don’t waste your time, and certainly not your money on this trash app.

Don’t waste your time. App doesn’t do anything but play an add after every button press. Can’t even say that at least it operates the tv. Complete garbage

Waste of time and space. Yea, these reviews r right, Phillips should leave the “smart tv” business to people who r actually smart.. wish I would have known this before I bought one.. guess that’s y I’m not making TVs huh..

This app is useless. I downloaded this app and still haven’t been able to connect to my phone. My phone recognizes the tv but won’t connect.

What a scam…. Keeps popping up ads until you upgrade to pro. Paid $4.99 for it to still not work.

Does not work and has ads. I mean seriously who puts ads on the remote app? Can’t even test the remote to see why it’s not working for ads popping up.

Frustrating. It doesn’t even connect it just makes me download chrome

Horrible App. App did not work , I uninstalled and reinstalled it and still nothing … feels like it was just meant to steal data from our phones .

Complete suckery!!!. Doesn’t work my tv doesn’t even show up :( I would give -5 stars if I could🤬

Doesn’t power on the tv. Doesn’t power on tv

Waste of time. This app doesn’t work at all. It’s so busy popping up ads that it can’t change the channel.

Poor rating. It’s not working looks just like the remote but didn’t work

Useless don’t get it. I have Phillips smart tv I tried to use it I got it paired but didn’t work also spamming why to much , I wish Phillips made an app useful for their smart TVs like TCL has I’m making you guys a favor don’t use this app waist time

Garbage. Doesn’t work. It found my tv but would not operate my tv. All you get are ads. Constantly. You press a button, an add pops up. Press a button, ad pops up. Don’t waste your time.

Didn’t work. Downloads and finds my tv then nothing happens when I push the remote buttons.

The worst. This did not work at all I did everything it said it had to much adds I just don’t the whole app itself is bad so good luck trying to make this app work

Don’t waste time. Says it found and connected to my tv, that was a lie! On top of not connecting properly, app requires watching ads to use the remote. Constantly!!! Don’t waste time, move on.

Ads. Can’t even do anything because of ads and every time I choose my tv it doesn’t allow me to do a single thing

Completely Useless. This app does not work at all You will get bombarded with so many ads, that the second you even try to tap a button you’ll open an add on accident It doesn’t matter if you use the auto detect feature or manual input, it won’t work at all It’ll even said it’s “connected” when it’s really not It’s just another way for them to make money off a useless app

Awful. Found my tv, clicked on it, then tried to use the remote and it said it has to be connected to the same WiFi as my phone, which it is. So now deleting this app

Remote. What a waste! Downloaded this tried everything to get it to connect. followed the directions and still nothing a waste of time.

Terrible app. It would find my TV every time but never would actually connect. A stupid ad pops up every 5 taps on your phone. This app is basically unusable.

Feedback. It doesn’t work, because the tv is not being hooked up with the network, that’s why I look for a remote so that I can connect the tv to my internet

App doesn’t work. I downloaded it and it opens and closes instantly, I have reinstalled it and everything and it still doesn’t work!

Horrible. This app is horrible! It doesn’t do anything and charged me 2.99 to remove ads and still doesn’t do anything it said it found my tv but it doesn’t connect to it !!

Didn't work, the pop up ads are NON STOP. Very very annoying. Pop up as every 10 seconds, never did get the volume feature to work. Incredibly disappointing.

Just not good. Doesn’t matter what I’d do, the app keeps telling me to make sure the TV is on the same network *after* it has already found it. Just not a good app. Pity that it seems that Philips doesn’t have their own.

Don’t bother. Won’t connect to TV, yet still manages to pop up an ad about every 10 seconds while you’re trying to set it up. Absolute trash.

🙄. This don’t even work and it’s ads everywhere time you click on a button

Philips Tv Remote. Very crap app! Tried so many times to even use the remote, there is always an ad every few seconds! If you install this app, I would most likely tell you to delete it, Bad app!

Functional and useful, however disturbingly too much ads. Please just don’t show that much ads. Yes you need to monetize, however you can do it proper way, without disturbing user

Avoid. This app screwed up my regular handheld remote and has ads after almost every action. Avoid!

I HATE THIS. If you’re gonna make an app, make sure it works. The creators of this app are idiots. Don’t waste your time downloading this. IT DOESN’T WORK. If i could give a 0 star rating, i most definitely would.

Worst app. The app doesn’t even work, not to many the pop up ads. It says connected but doesn’t allow me to control me TV.

Waste of time. I downloaded, watched a couple of Ads, then pressed the button to scan for my TV. No scan. Just straight back in the loop of adverts. I deleted.

Does not work at all. Shows an ad every 10 seconds literally, says it’s connected but the buttons do nothing. Most likely a scam

Just ads. Nothing works on the app even though it finds the tv. All it does is play ads and doesn’t control the tv. I can’t imagine this is actually an actual Philips product. Must be some kind of scam app.

Purchased app & it doesn’t work!!!. Waste of time! This doesn’t work at all!!! I bought it & it will not connect. Seriously I want my money back!

Doesn’t work even though it found my tv on the wifi network. Legit a waste of time.

Doesn't Work. Must've been made just to get lots of downloads and revenue from ads that pop up every time you push a button

Not impressed. Down load every time I pressed a button I would get a pop up. Had a chance to stop pop ups for $2.99 did it. Locates the tv but won’t do anything. Very disappointed

Poor App. Followed instructions. Would NOT operate our TV at all. Ads pop up very frequently. Probably had 10 ads while trying every function on the app. 👎🏼

TV Remote. App does not work. Keeps saying on scan, No tv found even when IP address is added. Got 2 versions both are worthless

Apple. Time to remove this app from your App Store it’s junk it doesn’t work they need to go back to the drawing board and make sure they know what they’re doing

Doesn't work. It finds my Phillips TV which is connected to my network but when I try to use the remote it says you need to connect to WiFi on my phone and TV...it's already connected.
