WARNING OF PRIVACY RISK FOR THIS NEW UPDATE, my Anti-Virus Norton Mobile Security has alerted me that this app is sharing my personal informations, such as device settings, etc. Please, fix these problems, because until then I will keep my Video & TV SideView disabled! Best regards.

After the removal of the guide this app became pretty useless. The remote is clunky and the other few options it has are not worth the space it takes on your phone. The Android TV app, as simple as it is, does actually work.

Useless apps just wanted to delete some video on the sd card but always need permission. Why can't not do at once times permission. Even can't not slide to next video. Better apps on my xperia z. And you have 2 apps with same function video apps what the point. Hope you change video apps like the old apps in update oreo. Xperia XA1 Ultra.

You know what would be a helpful new feature? If, when it updated and said that there was a helpful new feature added, it would give you information about said helpful new feature. Or, cut the bulls#!+ and don't notify that it's been updated in it's own notification.

Most functions work like basic controls such as volume Channel changing Etc. But I was looking for an app where I could use the keyboard function on my mobile. This one does not work. The reason I'm giving it a low rating is because I have contacted the customer support and all they do is give you can canned replies instead of actually addressing the problem. After 4 back and forth emails. I have decided their support is really pathetic as they didn't seem to even read my email properly, or be interested in addressing my problem.

I'm sure you'll get it eventually, with the updates I mean. The app is still too clunky to be useful. I couldn't do a simple task like typing/sending the text to look up videos on YouTube. A voice function should also be possible. I think what you need is to start completely afresh and ask yourself what are the basic customer demands, and develop those as simply as possible. Even the name of the app needs changing. Why not call it "Remote Control..." or something? What does "Video & TV SideView" mean, especially in relation to the app's (intended) functionality?

Use to be good. What have you done with this app? Sony's Music Center was downgraded as well. Looks like they hired terrible app team.

M70%
by M####:

For some reason the remote for my Blu-ray player is always getting lost. This allows me full control without using the remote. And since I always have my phone with me I now always have a remote with me.

Disappointed at how many buttons from my Sony RMT-TX200E aren't featured in this app's remote control, play, pause, fast forward and rewind are basic buttons yet not featured.

Can no longer play video on my device. This stupid app insists on casting to other devices, no other choice given. If no other devices available, regurgitates an error about being unable to find a renderer device. Fkn useless.

Well, now after using for awhile I would like to encourage this young man in Spain developing this app. No more dev in Spain. Now shows Address in Japan. Sony Corp. Maybe that's why it lost most functions.

Why, why, why, does this app default to my photo library. As a user I would like it to open as a remote right from the start. So I can use it as...... A remote.

Used to be good then the most useful feature was removed. Now it's just a remote and not even good at that.

R70%
by R####:

Better when video was a separate application as it was faster and more responsive, otherwise no issues. Serves no real purpose since TV guide removal other than slowing down the phone.

R70%
by R####:

The best app Sony has given so far to control Bravia TVs

Got this app because the remote that came with my Blue Ray player has like a 3 foot range. Works great just needs to default to remote screen when opened.

The app was good when I tv guide was in it. Now that they removed it, it is only useful for turning in/off the tv and channel changing. The other features are not used a lot.

Xperia phone's default video player forces you to install this app. For what?!

Would have scored it higher if I could start the app on the remote control setting. I have no interest in TV and Videos from my phone. Just wanted a good remote app.
