“Functional but obnoxious ads — It’s impossible to use this app to simply turn up or down your volume without accidentally clicking a full screen ad that conveniently pops up a couple seconds after opening. I understand wanting to monetize…”

Independent evidence report
The evidence behind this assessment
This is where the page changes from an app-store listing into an evidence report: findings, important reviews, pricing and a dated history.
Which version this describes
When we ran this analysis, and what the store lists now.
This analysis describes version 18.5 of the app, analyzed 2026-10-05 . The app may have changed since.
The store currently lists version 18.5, updated 2025-07-21.
What we measured
Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.
Each line is a measurement, published as a measurement. Where we have not looked, the line says so rather than reading as a zero.

Themes reported by reviewers
1 theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
80–89% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.
Graded bands · predicate set 1.4 · how these are measured
What the analysis found
App-specific findings, grouped by what each one rests on. How they are graded lives on its own page.
The catch list 1
Charges we publish at a strength we stand behind: measured from an artefact, agreed by independent sources, or reported by enough users to clear that charge's own published bar.
Reported by users: Aggressive ad load
Advertising volume or placement that interrupts normal use: ads between every action, unskippable or forced full-screen ads.
What we saw: Raised by 40 distinct reviewers — 8.0% of the 500 reviews scanned on this store leg (App Store).
Highlighted reviews
Representative public review excerpts shown as user reports, not Appworthy audit evidence.
“Malicious ads — Places ads and pop up ads that are intended to make you think it’s part of using the remote.”
“Awful app — This app has potential, but the ridiculous pop up ads ruin your tv viewing. After doing several presses For channel or volume changes, up pops an ad that you can’t click out of. Horrible.”
