User Reviews for Sam Smart TV Remote- Things TV

Don’t download unless willing to pay the $20

I recently downloaded this app to use until I could get a replacement remote as mine has been messing up. However the appIs designed for the paying customer and not someone willing to watch ads. The app within 10 minutes of downloading stopped working unless I paid the 20 dollars, when looking on the FAQs for this app the developers notated there is limited use allowed for non paying customers.Question to the devs what makes your app superior, justifying a 20 dollar price, over buying a replacement Samsung branded remote for less than 10 dollars with all the bugs other reviews have brought up?

Great Remote...IF you leave it ON!!

I WAS planning to leave a really good review of this app (even if it cost $20 for unlimited use). I paid the unlimited use fee (for continual updates with no ads etc), and the remote really works great! I like the touchpad option and the position of all the buttons. But, then I noticed a problem where the remote stops working if it’s turned OFF (or if you switch to another app). As a result, I have to restart (or refresh) the remote app every time I go to a diff app on my iPhone (?) Really???FYI: I’m using the newest iPhone iOS on an iPhone XMax. So, everything is “up-to-date”. My suggestion would be to either figure out a way for the remote to maintain a connection switching apps OR simply put a “refresh button” that allows users to reconnect quickly if they had to switch over to another app while using the remote, etc. BTW...I’m using Samsung 7 Series w/the remote.

Works pretty good... for a day

My kids (presumably) lost the remote for my TV yesterday. We have torn the house apart looking for it, no joy. After several hours of this, I went looking for an app that I could use until it is found or until the quarantine is lifted and I can go buy a decent universal one to replace it. Tried a couple others that did not work with my TV or had limited functionality, then stumbled across this app. It worked GREAT!That is, until 24 hours later, when it would no longer do ANYTHING except try to make me pay $20 to continue using it. Thanks, but no thanks, I'll find another app.

Why the bad reviews?

This app is almost perfect. Works on all 3 of my Samsung TVs. Bought lifetime access. Yes, it does unpair when you’re out of the app for a while but the reconnection process is automatic and takes 5 seconds max. I would recommend this app to anyone who wants to be able to control their TV from their phone. Only one request — please add a keyboard so we can type instead of just using the touch pad to spell out words on the TV.

Paid $20 for what?!

Bought a brand new Samsung 7series a few weeks ago and was directed by the setup to download this app for convenience. Did so and then saw that there was $20 price tag. Not wanting to deal with ads every time I clicked a button in the app, I paid the $20.The app has had extreme difficulty connecting to, or even finding my tv from the start (again... thought it was an issue that the paid version would fix). Now with the latest update, the screen just goes black. Feel like I was scammed. I’ll never download/pay for an app like this again.TO THE DEVS:I paid my $20 for your service and your app is failing to deliver the promoted result. You need better fixes for problems other than “uninstall and reinstall the app” or anything else along those lines. When you update, it’s a pretty good practice to test things before releasing your update. Fix the problem immediately. As I see it, YOU/YOUR COMPANY/YOUR APP has breached the Apple store terms of service by failing to appropriately rectify customer issues as well as falsely advertising your product’s end result (and it’s obvious I’m not the only one). FIX THE D*MN APP I PAID TO HAVE AND MAKE SURE IT REMAINS OPERATIONAL HENCEFORTH!!!

Rarely used but now it won’t connect

I loved the idea of this remote because I’m always losing my physical remote or it’s just not conveniently located. My cell phone is always close by. I used this app about 2 weeks ago without a problem. But for the last two days, it won’t connect to my tv. I try to connect, and I see the message on the TV that I need to approve it. I click approve and it looks like it worked. A few minutes later it says it never connected. I’ve tried about 10 times now and I’m giving up. I had hoped that there was an update for me to this app that I needed to apply, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. 😢

BUYER BEWARE

We’ve gotten used to having phone remotes with our Roku so it seems to work fine. But for $20 this doesn’t work half as well as the free Roku remote. if you can’t click into the search bars and type on the keyboard from your phone, what is the point!?Update: after several days of trying to use this app, it’s completely worthless. It won’t connect or stay connected. It doesn’t see the TV most of the time. It needs to be authorized FROM THE PHYSICAL REMOTE which makes having a secondary remote useless. The functionality is poor. And on top of it, the section of your webpage to report problems or questions is broken, which means you know it’s a bad app. Have requested refund.

Worked in a pinch - tip for Samsung smart TV

After tearing the house apart looking for our Samsung remote, downloaded this app out of desperation. I guess I wasn’t paying close attention because I paid $20 and thought it was free. Anyway...it has some cool features and it might be worth $20 if I didn’t have to keep reconnecting every time I wanted to adjust the volume or something.Tip for Samsung Smart TV- did you know there is a button on the back of your TV that works like a joystick? You can press to turn TV on or use as enter button (which you will need to connect this app) and press the edges to navigate. Press and hold to exit back to home.If I had known this I probably could have just used the button until I could find my remote and save $20.

Fix the problem of staying connected while switching app

Hey, Out of frustration, I bought this app when I lost my real remote. This app is promising and could even replace the real remote. The main problem for this is that the app doesn’t seem to stay connected when switching apps. I hope that this problem will be solved. Otherwise it’s a great app and everyone should buy it.

Bullied into purchase

Remote could be better if you could actually use it without being hassled into purchasing the premium. If you are going to offer a remote, offer the basics. Channels, volume, the home button. Basic things that should come with a remote. And everything else can be offered at a premium. After a few clicks it stops working and just directs to the premium pay page. I would’ve absolutely purchased the lifetime remote if I didn’t feel bullied into it. The crazy thing is, the price is reasonable! I just dislike feeling forced into making a purchase. Also, I’m not sure if this is an issue because I hadn’t purchased the premium at that time but I also don’t like having to get permission from the tv to use the remote after I’ve already connected it to my tv. In order to answer the question I need the actual remote! Lol it isn’t helpful if I’ve lost it and that’s why I’m trying to use my phone smh lol.
