User Reviews for SamRemote - smart tv remote
Ads and more ads
To start off, when I first downloaded the app it connected to my Tv just fine... the only reason I need this is because I haven’t seen the actual controller in like a year.And because it was easy to connect it gets an extra star, because from the reviews I’ve seen on other controllers, weren’t happy about connecting it.This app would be perfect... if it didn’t have ads. I get it that you need to make money and it’s free to download, but $6?! You can get rid of ads on Tetris for $5. This is a TV controller.Tetris is a free video game and it has less ads than this.I believe that a TV controller should have little to no ads because who needs them. As I said, it’s a controller. You’re supposed to be turning up the volume not clicking out of ads.Another complaint is how slow the buttons click, not too much of a bother for me but it still is annoying. I’ll tap the volume button 5 times and it’ll turn it up by 2 (then pops up an ad).My recommendation, if you want a decent controller, honestly, go buy an actual one. But if you don’t really care about advertisements that have nothing to do with their $6 to have freedom from a random app. Then download this.It’s not that bad, without ads, my only complaint is that if you want to turn it up higher you have to wait about 2 seconds for every tap. Which is easy to get used to.
STOP! Don’t download
I have NEVER written a review. Good or bad. This app is by far the worst app I’ve ever experienced and I hope someone reads this and looks elsewhere.My remote broke and I needed something in the mean time so I downloaded this app. I can only press one button before an ad pops up. One button. Then after that I think I get 7 to 8 touches before another ad pops up. It’s always ads. Constantly. They never stop. Want it to stop? Pay $6. $6 isn’t that much you say? The physical remote is $10!!!! I have never seen so many ads on an app before. Sitting though traffic in NYC would be more appealing than when you rewind and oh hey look, an ad! Have to go back to where I was now and when you finally get there, boom another ad! This is the worst app in the App Store. Hands down. I wish there were negative stars so we could get this thing canceled. WORST APP EVER.
Unfortunate
The advertisements are completely out of control. There are videos with sound that you can't exit out of until you watch a given amount of the ad first. When switching from another app to the Sam remote it will initially display the remote screen before reloading another advertisement which leads to clicking on the screen only to be hijacked to the advertisement's webpage. When you come back from that advertisement to open use the remote you GET ANOTHER AD!!!! It is incredibly annoying.I'd prefer to pay for an app like this since a replacement physical remote is prohibitively expensive, but I'm guessing the greedy developers make more money from this kind of blitzkrieg advertising than they would charging for the app. Reminds me of the Black Mirror episode 15 million merits.
Update to past report
Improvement. The remote works again. Not sure why it sporadically works, but now it does. Also, because I deleted it in an attempt to fix it, the ads came back because I essentially deleted the first download. However, the creator responded to my emails, and provided with information to restore my “no ads” purchase. It’s simple: go to search screen within the remote app, hit the menu button at the top left, and then simply scroll down to the “restore purchase.” So far it works. The remote app has been sporadically working, so I think it’s a WiFi thing. The creator responded to me, so thank you very much for that. It’s working and the ads are gone. Awesome!
WAY too many pop up adds
I’ve downloaded/used a few different remotes. This one by far has the most amount of pop up adds per remote clicks. They allow you 3-5 remote clicks before an app pops up and interrupts you. It makes using the remote extremely annoying and takes twice as long to get anything done. This is especially annoying when you’re trying to search a movie/show on Netflix or any other streaming service… it literally takes me on average a good 5 mins to punch in a movie/show title. I get that it’s free, but I use another free universal remote for my Vizio tv that has ZERO pop up adds. Still trying to find a free, add free remote for my Samsung tv… in the mean time this one is annoying, but works.. I gave it 3 stars because the remote itself works well. I’ve never had any problems with glitching. Only issue I have is the frequent pop up adds.
Terrible, do not get, you are better off just using the remote
First of all, THIS THING WILL NOT WORK AT ALL IT WORKED FOR A DAY THEN IT STOPPED WORKING! Second, this has nothing but adds, every time you will press a button, an add will appear out of nowhere! I thought my life was saved but it was worse! My Samsung remote lost its button recently so my mom went to this app and it was worse than before. We bought a new remote and today it stopped working. I was just watching TV then I went over to my remote to change the channel but it won’t work. This all happened after I got the app. Usually I give apps a better review but this app is terrible and this will take control of your TV and make your life worse, like what it did to me. I do not recommend this app at all! If the developer of this app is reading this, please respond and make this app better! Thank you!
Unbearably intrusive ads- makes it impossible to use Remote
I have never ever witnessed such an obnoxious use of ads. They come like machine gun bullets, one after the other. In one minute you can get a dozen. And they force you to stay there for a long time, disrupting your ability to use the remote. Ridiculously greedy from the App developer. Ok, if you want to sustain yourself with ads, that is an acceptable bargain. But this is not that. It is badgering to force everyone away from ads to pay for the app. So then be honest and charge from the get go so people know what they are getting. If you don’t plan to pay for the premium ad feature, know it will be close to impossible to operate the remote because of the intrusive nature of the ads.
Worth the "Add Removal" Fee!
My Samsung remote, for some odd reason, interferes and works (with no clear direction) on my 2 Black+Decker tower fans. It shuts them off, changes all the settings, and does it with every other click of the remote sometimes. And, I lost the fan remote, so now we have to keep resetting them. Also, just…not losing the remote, and sometimes I’ll forget to power off the TV, or decide it’s bedtime and don’t feel like going back into the living room to shut off the TV… it shuts off from other rooms just using the app. Worth the purchase.
Better than Samsung app by far but needs work
I like the features of this app. However one big issue I have is if I turn the TV off with the real Samsung remote (not this app nor the Samsung app), I cannot turn on the TV with this app. One main reason for this app is to use it if you lose or misplace your remote. This needs to be fixed ASAP. If you cannot time on the tb with the app, it defeats the purpose of it. The app will work if the tv is turned on already either manually or with the real remote. If I turn off the TV with the app, it seems to turn on fine afterwards. The Roku TVs and apps behave correctly. This one doesn’t with the power on scenario just described.
A must buy
I have give thanks for this app I tried other apps and they either don’t work or asking too much for a remote and subscription with this remote I use all my functions it doesn’t matter if I get off the remote app to go do something else I can get back on this app and it works fine I do say this is a must purchase so you don’t have a problem of theApps the only thing that I would highly recommend is like a touch search button that you can use when you’re surfing the web other than that it’s remote does everything except trying to search the web on your TV those other Remotes that are out there might look better or say they do better and even have the touch remote so you can use Like a mouse when you surf the web trust me I’ve tried them they do not work thanks for looking at my review
