TV Permission
Would be a great app if it actually worked. On Apple Watch if it actually worked and didn’t ask for permission from the TV every single time which forces you to use the remote, repeatedly which defeats the purpose of the app.,3&&&
United StatesWorks somewhat
It works great but for some reason after usage on my samsung tv it makes me allow it’s permissions tv and it gets annoying after a while i can’t figure out how to make it just work automatically without me needing an actual remote
United StatesStopped working after a day
This was great when it worked, but kept giving me a “this device requires approval to access your tv” message on the tv which defeats the purpose of the thing if I have to find the remote in order to approve an input every time. I can’t imagine paying for an app that doesn’t even work.
United StatesLiking this bar one missing feature
This is a pretty awesome remote app, particularly due to the rich support for widgets. The one feature that appears to be missing as far as I can tell is there is no way of creating a widget to wake up the TV. The power button widget works to turn the TV off but not on and there doesn’t appear to be a wake action that can be mapped. With this gap filled, this would be a pretty perfect app. Great job!
United StatesWould Love To Use
Would love to use this app, unfortunately, the app recognizes my television on the network, recognizes the manufacturer (Samsung) and then errors out telling me that the IP address isn’t correct. Disappointing because other apps have had no problem connecting, but I would have preferred to use this because of the Shortcuts support. For reference, my TV is a bit older (UN50KU6300) but the fact that other apps connect easily and this app recognizes the device seems like it should be a no brainer to me.
United StatesDeveloper is very responsive to feedback
I primarily use this app for creating home theater routines in Shortcuts, and it works very well for that. I’ve had issues with a couple updates breaking functionality and requiring me to redo them, but the dev clearly cares about making the app as good as possible, so a few growing pains along the way are understandable. There’s still some mild quirks (shortcuts that run multiple TV commands in a row run slower than comparable apps I’ve tried, and with the current update I had to redo every TV Remote step twice for the settings to “stick” due to an odd bug that seemed to assume every option was set to “ask me every time” regardless of what was entered) but nothing that’s remotely a dealbreaker or doesn’t have an easy workaround. Oh and if you’re not a nerd like me that likes making big dumb scripts to control every aspect of their home theater with Siri, this is also BY FAR the best standard TV Remote app I’ve used on the iPhone, and I’ve used a lot of ‘em. Clean, functional, and lots of great options that you may or may not ever need but are there if you do.
United StatesUpdate broke functionality
Latest update steamrolled shortcuts and broke tons of functionality. This is the second time this has happened, but the first time in which there doesn’t seem to be any replacement for the shortcuts (such as changing the source) which were removed, breaking the many macros I had set up which were working fine. If I’m missing something, please let me know and I’ll happily revise my score back to the five stars it deserved. Unfortunately for me it’s now unusable until this is resolved.
