WATCH OUT!!!!! THIS APP WILL CHANGE YOUR WHOLE PHONE, APPS ETC
worst app ever - beware!!! this app took over my entire phone and rearranged all home windows and would not allow me to uninstall it unless I found it back on Google Play. absolute worst app I've ever downloaded.
Changed my entire phone function!!!
THIS IS A HACKER APP, DON'T USE! HIJACKED MY PHONE SCREEN! To anyone this happens to - press your power button and then press and hold "Power" on your screen to enter safe mode. Restart your phone, go to settings, and uninstall the app. Be careful out there guys!
It works, But now I can't delete it. It pulls up random ads and it's like it's gonna be on my screen forever. Now I can't get it off. Terrible! The company should be ashamed.
Half of the time, it does not even work.And when you download the app, it changes your whole phone and it makes it laggy.Do not get this at it is pretty much worthless.
ads
do not download this app. it hacks your screen, where it hides its self and you cannot locate to delete!
kept glitching, lots of ads and didn't work
it hijacked my phone and didn't allow me to delete it.
scam
This app will hijack your phone auto download apps and change everything. do not download. Do not download. Flag this app!!!
took over my phone and changed the display ... this app felt like a virus
it will not install
terrible app,takes over your software,then hard to find to try to delete it.
didn't work, and moved all my icons around and reformated my home screen. When I tried to uninstall, the option wasn't available in my setting, only the play store. Everything went back to normal once I uninstalled.
Insane amount of ads, encourages you to use its garbage homescreen layout and hides itself so you can't uninstall it without searching for it directly in your phone settings. Blatant malware.
this shot took over my phone and changed everything do not install!!
lots of interruptions with ads
worst app
it ruined my screen
it hacked my phone I can't uninstall it.
This app is a common virus. Takes over your UI to steal information. Any good reviews are fake. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.
Too many ads to be usable, and it didn’t work. It found my Roku, but couldn’t control it. It seemed to show another ad after only a few remote button presses. Worse, it opened settings and pushed me to set the app as my default launcher. That’s a serious dark pattern. I’d avoid this app and developer completely.
it's horrible
it change your device and half way trys to not let you uninstall it and what Vivian said
This was horrible! added apps to my phone. DON'T RECOMMEND
ads plus doesn't work anything but the volume
If changes home screen and can't find apps!
Changed all the app layouts on my phone added a few I didn't want, wouldn't let me uninstall it until I went into app management
horrible experience. I used to use this app. I went to open it and it told me there was an update. after updating and opening the app, you couldn't even get past the ads to the actual remote. when I closed it I realized it had completely taken over my entire screen. I couldn't uninstall from Google play, I couldn't hold it down and uninstall, I had to go to settings to uninstall. once uninstalled my phone screen went back to normal. still nervous to open anything else.
Just changes your home screen without permission! No thank you!
This is NOT just a remote app. After installing it, my phone's layout was changed, apps were moved around, and the overall setup of my device was altered in ways I never expected. I downloaded a remote app, not something that would start modifying my phone. What made it even worse was that when I tried to close the app, it repeatedly opened Samsung Wallet instead. Whether this was intentional or a bug, it was incredibly frustrating and made the entire experience feel intrusive and unreliable. No
horible
more ads then its worth. you get about 5 clicks then 2 minutes of ads. horrible app
worst of life
Glichy and Casino Ads Avoid
installing changed phone ui. it was disguised as news app and weather app. do not install it is adware
DO NOT INSTALL!!! ITS A VIRUS!!! very dificult to uninstall and it downgraded my software to an older version.
if o can give this negative i would it gave me a virus
this all is so bad. it changed the layout of my phone, I'm not sure why or what permission I granted that let it do that but it's a horrible app with 50 million ads and I do not recommend it if I could give a negative Stars I would.
it would not connect to my TV and was acting dumb
Do not install!! My son installed this app on my phone, and it changed all kinds of display settings and gave virus warnings. Flat out Garbage. you can only Uninstall from the Google playstore.
Absolute garbage. Does nothing that I can see and is completely unclear about what it even is. But Roku cast keep insisting I can use use that without installing this garbage, which is useless. Neither one works.
it has a lot of ads, I don't think remote TV apps shouldn't have ads
