User Reviews for Sonymote : Remote for Sony TV
Ads are too intrusive
I get having a banner across the bottom, but every so many button clicks (as far as I can tell), a big ad fills the screen forcing you to stop and begging you to buy. Renders this app unusable for me - at least the free version - since so many functions on a Sony TV require a sequence of many button pushes. Maybe that’s the developer’s intent (of course it is). Something about this design just seems wrong so I’m on the fence about whether to buy even though the price is reasonable. Otherwise it seems to work fine. Agree with other reviewer, though...Sony should have its own factory app.
Lifesaver if you lose your remote but the ads mess things up
We misplaced our Sony remote about a week ago. Looked everywhere. Downloaded this app and we were like super excited to finally be able to watch our tv again. Godsend! But.. haha hella ads. It gets the job done for sure as in on/off but if you’re trying to scroll, or fast forward/rewind it will get interrupted with ads!! Haha I rewound and entire episode of Loki trying to get through an ad. Worth it if you’re desperate I suppose. Definitely gives incentive to find the lost one.
Full screen pop-up video ads with sound...
Full screen pop-up video ads, unskippable, with sound...that come up every 4-5 button presses. Imagine trying to adjust a menu or something and these ads pop up every time as you're pressing buttons while looking at the TV to try to use it. No thanks.At least give a trial for a week or something. Or have the ads somewhere they don't completely cripple the app. Hell, devote half the screen to them for all I care, you gotta eat. Just don't pop them up full screen and make me wait. An app shouldn't be utterly unusable just because you don't do an in-app purchase. But this is unusable. The ads are just insulting.
Free/Ad mode covers every single key any few minutes
I used this only because the SONY remote included with my TV would not navigate the GCN+ app that I use frequently. SONY support said to use a bluetooth/software app remote. This app does “fix” what the real SONy remote does not.This app is a workaround for a problem that should not exist from a global company with deep pockets. Yes, is does work, yet the frequent delivery of ads is intolerable. Why, because Ads appear every few minutes and they cover every key even if you are in the middle of pressing keys. It took 15 minutes and then resorted to paying $8.99 to end the torture.
Annoying
This is been my experience with this app. I bought the app two years ago. Even paid the money to get rid of the ads (annoying). This app requires your phone to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the television, which mine is however, every time I turn my television on and use the app it has been disconnected. Then when I try to reconnect it, the app does not locate my television. It locates other items in my house but not my tv. I have to consistently wait around until is does, sometimes I just stop waiting for the app to locate my television. So keep this in mind before you purchase
Doesn’t work,
iPhone 12 Pro Max, the free program is completely useless because the ads make it impossible to use. For example trying to pair it with the TV triggers an add. I figure “heck I just spent a grand on a TV, what’s another 7 dollars” a complete waste is what it is. The program sees my TV just fine, it just won’t connect to it. Trash programming and the free app is designed to be useless so you buy the app and it still won’t work. Has the look and feel of a beta design program where they are still arguing over the scope of the product. I will be asking Apple for my money back. Get your crap together Sony. If you are going to nickel and dime us on everything, at least make sure it works.
Too many ads
The ads pop up randomly in the middle of using the remote buttons and if you mistakenly click it (which cannot be avoided) it takes you to several different websites. Just way too many ads when all we want to do is use the remote. The ads will make you lose customers because it’s way too many in such short times. It seems like after every 5 or 6 clicks there is an ads. The ad can be about dog food but when you mistakenly click the unavoidable ad it takes you to a complete different website. Very annoying and unnecessary and just too many ads!!!Otherwise the remote works.
Ad after ad after ad
I will be happily deleting this app when my new remote comes in! Yes, it works, and it was extremely simple to set up. That is why it has 2 stars. The problem is, unless you pay for it you get an ad every few clicks. Want to turn up your volume (maybe 3 clicks) you get an ad! Want to channel surf? Forget it you’ll have to watch an ad every few channels. Want to turn on Netflix on your smart tv? You have to watch 2 ads just to get to your profile, then searching for your show is a nightmare because, you guessed it ad after ad!! The creators of this app are obviously just money hungry with how many ads they have set up. That’s why I was happy to pay for a new remote, rather than pay the greedy app creators.
So many ads, I can’t even use the remote- not worth it
Everytime I click an option on the remote, and ad pops up, so I never get to use it! Example: I try to change the input, I click the “input” button, and an ad comes up, so now I have to wait for the ad (which half the time when I click the X at the top of the ad when it’s finished won’t even exit out) to finish and by then the input has disappeared from the tv and I’m unable to change it and go through the same process over and over again. I could see an ad popping up every so many uses, but every time I click a button an ad pops up. Not worth it.
Do not download this app
Don’t do it! I’m telling you - multiple one-Star reviews exist for a reason! I don’t care how lazy/irresponsible you are with keeping track of a real remote. Put a Lo Jack on that thing instead, it’ll be way more worth it than downloading this app.I downloaded and connected the app to my tv and now my regular actual Sony remote does NOT work at all with it! I replaced the batteries but it’s something to do with the app itself. And my tv is a brand new X850G. I have to do a hard restart on the tv and re-do all my app passwords on the tv itself.Obnoxious, aggressive ads that do not go away after one click, can barely function to press 5 buttons in succession before another ad comes up. Whoever created this app needs to be jailed for their poor workmanship.
Description
SonyMote is a virtual remote control that lets you control your Sony Bravia TV. To use the sony remote control, you must have your iPhone / iPad on the same wifi network as your TV and you accept the message that appears on your TV (or register the pin code for the new model) Because the application runs through the wireless network , it is not necessary to be close to the TV . With a realistic design you can use all the functionality of the real sony remote.
