It's just a remote control on my phone, no different from the one in the room.

Major Highlights of the Week

Casting Misconception
Many users mistakenly believe the app allows casting from their devices to the hotel TV, leading to frustration when they discover it only functions as a remote control. This misunderstanding is exacerbated by misleading hotel signage and app descriptions.
I thought I could cast my phone to the TV, but it just acts as a remote.
Connection Errors
Users frequently encounter issues with the app not recognizing the code provided by the TV, resulting in an inability to connect and use the app's features. This persistent problem undermines the app's core functionality.
Every time I enter the code, it says it's invalid, making the app unusable.
Limited Functionality
The app's functionality is limited to basic remote control features, which many users find redundant given the presence of a physical remote in hotel rooms. This redundancy leads to perceptions of the app as unnecessary and lacking value.
It's just a remote control on my phone, which I don't need since there's already a remote in the room.
Volume Control Issues
Some users experience problems with the app's volume control, where the volume unexpectedly increases or decreases, causing inconvenience and dissatisfaction. This inconsistency in control can disrupt the user experience.
I tried to lower the volume, but it suddenly went really loud instead.
Misleading Marketing

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app is simple to use and effective. I’ve only used it at one hotel but it worked as expected. The only thing I wish it had was arrow buttons and a select button so I could completely not have to use the hotel remote.

This app is NOT intended to cast your device to the TV. This app works as a remote control for your hotel room’s TV using your device. It provides a convenient list of available channels.

The app does everything it says it will. A lot of these reviews are just mad that the hotels folks are staying at have TVs that won’t allow AirPlay or similar casting services. That’s not the fault of the app.
