Doesn't work. I can't find my sound bar (on or off). The remote it there, but I can't use it.
★☆☆☆☆Nicola Winterton· Mar 30, 2023
Doesn't work. Downloaded, tried to select remotes, but it is literally a picture of a remote for each and every single one is unusable and only a large picture of a remote. But you can bet that you will get an add for almost everything you click on. Had around 6 ads in less than 1 minute. Just a dummy app to get people to download and watch ads to give them revenue and pictures of remotes I can download from Google.

Wanted an app to control my soundbar, found an identical remote (picture) for my soundbar. Only button that worked was the power button, and it turned my TV off.
