Peel Smart Remote for Pronto

I have a galaxy note that i have peel smart app and its great and works on every tv ive been around. Ive told everyone how great its been but now that ive upgraded my phone to a s7 it sucks ass. I dont even know wtf pronto is and how to get the remote to work anymore. Why change it? It was perfect how it was and youve ruined it. I hope you know just how many customers you have lost from this change!

I just updated to a galaxy s7 from an s6, I loved the previous version and was really hoping I would just install and use the app...I hope everyone that downloads this peice of work has the same reaction and you actually get the version back people were using before! For now I don't need this headache!

I do NOT recommend this app, it was incredible when it first came out and you could ACTUALLY use the app, now you need to buy some USB to make it work? It worked fine without it before.. the maker of this got greedy and I hope no one buys this crap of an app.. please take my words an remove this app! Sorry I ever downloaded because now all this app does is cause lag and pop ups ..

Just got a new galaxy s7 was excited to get the peel app going (had it on my s5). After some research I found the s7 has no IR capability so it doesn't function as a universal remote sadly. Who's to blame? Samsung. Bummer. Anybody want to buy an galaxy s7? Mint condish!

I agree with all the others. I had a galaxy s6 when I got my s7 I noticed this was about they only app that didn't install. I went to install it and it said the version I had was not compatible with with my s7. So I installed the new version well IT DOES NOT WORK. If I say no to GPS or location it crashes. I wish I could give this 0 stars. Way to take a great app and make it USELESS.

I shouldn't have to pay for a freaking USB that connects the TV just to use my phone as a remote. Especially when this app come ore installed to the phone. I'm definitely going for an all that offers better service than making people pay for things that don't need for a cell phone remote! Think elsewhere if you're wanting a cellphone remote controller

I have used Peel for at least 3 years now. I use to love this app. It was so simple to set up. Now I have to buy a $50 piece to get it to work. What happened to the simple set up. What happened to the simple on and off feature. Why would you guys get greedy and change it this much? I use to recommend this app to so many friends and I had rated it as a 5☆review, but not I'll only give it 1☆ because it pretty much suckered and is useless!!

I USED TO LOVE THIS AP BUT NOW NOT. I JUST NEED A SIMPLE REMOTE THAT CAN TURN ON AND OFF THE TV AND CHANGE CHANNEL. NOW ITS SHOWING ME SOME FUNNY CONNECTING TO CABLE PROVIDER. STUPID JOB. YOU SHOULD TELL YOUR DEVELOPER TO COMMIT SUCIDE

I thought I was doing something wrong, since I couldn't simply bring up the TV part of the remote to configure the remote on my new phone like it was on my old phone a few days ago. Now I see its a problem with everyone. I do not have a TV provider and I don't want to buy a $50 part to make this remote work. Guess I've I'll b ed looking for a different approach to use

I still see that this app chooses to be payed for roku because my 9/3/16 review is the same. This app is such an annoying piece of crap. Don't waste your time. Go back to the way you had it before when I could just have an actual working remote app and NOT have to have a provider or a damn roku.

I've used this app for years with no issue and have upgraded my phone to the S7 edge. For some reason it's now asking me to buy a separate gadget in order to use it. It was so simple and easy to use before!! You've ruined it!!

I used to use this app a lot, whether it was for actually controlling my TV, or trolling my friends'. But now we can't do either without buying a $50 piece of trash. You guys need to fix your sh*t or you're going to continue to receive more 1 stars than 5 stars, and there aren't many apps out there that get that.

USED TO WORK WITHOUT A DONGLE NOW U NEED TO PURCHASE ONE? THIS APP IS ABSOLUTELY GARBAGE NOW. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT!!!! USED TO JUST WORK DIRECTLY WITH TV, FREE... STUPID. I CAN BUY A FEW UNIVERSAL CONTROLLERS FOR WHAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR STUPID APP TO WORK NOW. YOU'VE COMPLETELY LOST THE PLOT DUMB SH!T.

This is ridiculous... my boyfriend showed me this app on his phone and I thought it was awesome so he went to show me on my phone (S7 edge) and it tells me to buy Pronto! It is free on his phone but I have to pay $50?? What a freaking joke! Is there an app that will work on a an ELEMENT tv? Without paying $50?.

I loved the old version... before you had to pay for a USB device to make it work. SO disappointed from what USED to be a great app. I was constantly recommending it when you didn't need to pay for an additional piece I now tell everyone it's worthless and really not worth spending money when I already HAVE a remote. Why on earth would anyone spend money on this?! It was more of a convenience to have then a need and DEFINITELY not worth the money... can buy a universal remote at the store for $10. Very disappointing and no longer recommend to anyone.

I have peel smart remote on my Samsung Galaxy S5 and it worked great for my TV that didn't have a remote so when I had to get a new phone I was going to use peel smart remote but it doesn't work any more. When the issues are fixed it will give it 5 stars

When I upgraded to Samsung S7 I lost the ability to use my Peel app all of the house. I don't understand why you changed it. Now it requires me to buy another remote. The whole point of this app originally was to have access without the remote just with my phone. Change it back and you would get 5 stars.

Used to be able to access all devices - TV, cable box, reciever, Roku - with the app and it was great. Now they require you buy a physical remote from them for everything except Roku...completely negating the reason I was looking for an app like this in the first place.

I liked it in the beginning however now it doesnt do anything. I cant set up my remote. Before that I always had to troubleshoot to use any button other than the power button. Reset to the old system and I will come back!

I had this on my S5 so when I saw that they now had it for my S7 I couldn't wait to download it BIG MISTAKE!!!! Have u ever heard the phrase if it ain't broke don't fix it ?? Well ya messed with it & ya broke it it's now useless to all S7 users as I found out the S7 doesn't have IR so can't connect. But as for Roku & Pronto wot the hell is that ?? You've made the best UR App & turned it to crap

If I could give it zero I would. Upgraded to S7 and can't work the remote.. what's this pronto crap?? Why change a good thing?? Had been using this app since my S3 mini.. if it 'aint broke dont fix it.. I always recommended this app.. but I definitely won't be in the future

Is really handy as I had it on my old phone and worked really well. Now I need either a pronto or roku to be able to use it? Ridiculous! Not happy to say the least. If you would make it compatible I would give 5 stars as I really do love it

THE APP WORKS FINE! Hellooooo everyone who upgraded to an Samsung S7 and is now bitching about this app... the S7 DOESN'T HAVE AN IR BLASTER! The app isn't the problem. You now have a phone that CAN'T be used as a remote! Sheesh, some people's kids...

I used to vouch for Peel Smart remote and told everyone about it. Now it's pointless since you cant use it with your TV and what the hell is Pronto? I'm not paying for a subscription to "unlock" features that were previously free. You have lost a customer who loved your previous product.

Had this pre installed on my s5. Upgraded to a s7 and now I've got to buy something for 50pounds too make it work?

It used to be a ***** app, now it doesn't work anymore. Want to make a profit? Make it a non-free functional app, not an ads-rigged free dysfunctional piece of junk. Real rating: 0

I had an s6 edge with the app pre-installed. Found it by accident. Great app. Used to use it for switching off the TV on my way out. Upgraded to s7 edge. Now it doesn't work. Piece of crap. Follows the Samsung way of thinking: if it works, upgrade it so that it doesn't

Cant even use the Guide from last update. Useless app now. Pronto? What? I upgraded from a S5 to a S7 Edge. B4 I had Peel Remote & it worked great with all kinds of features, now they are talking about buying another device. I didn't have 2 buy anything I just programmed the app. WTH! What happened 2 the other Peel app? This is the only good remote on the app store but I don't want 2 purchase something else.

I have no problems with technology. With that being said this is a horrible app. For the life of me I could not find a way to set up my remote via IR blaster. The only options were to connect to Roku or Pronto. I want to control my regular non-smart tv and I could not find a way to do that.

Everyone understand the s7 does not have the same functions as the s6. Have to buy pronto is to fix what Samsung has changed. Having said that, I purchased pronto and it is garbage. The app will not stay connected with it, I have to continually reconnect the device by taking out the battery's. To top it all off I'm now getting pop up adds on the app. The app going to he'll is both Samsung changing things up as well and pronto being garbage and peel not adjusting to the change. DO NOT BUY PRONTO, DO NOT USE APP (IN CURRENT FORM) JUST USE A NORMAL REMOTE.

I have the galaxy s5 and the apps all free and wonderful but when i try using it in my new phone Galaxy s7 edge the app doesn't wanna work it sucks like I must pay wtf it's this Pronto shut and roku what's that. Please fix the apps like in the galaxy s5 not cool anymore.

I was able to connect to any tv with the galaxy 5,now they keep asking about ruku. This version is not good,so if you having problems it's about the Dollar, trying to get you to buy the Pronto.

You guys have lost the plot. Worked perfectly with my S5 but now with my S7 I have to buy some fancy gadget to get it to work. Why not adapt the app for all popular phones without having to add extra hardware.

Had to get a new phone recently but sadly peel isn't compatible with it. And they want $50 for a device to make it work?!?! Uh, I'll just buy a universal remote from Wal-Mart for $10. Thanks.

I wish I had an ir blaster on my pixel....When I had this app before on a compatible phone it was great. I still use it to see what's on TV that I might like. I'm a little upset they got rid of the accounts with saved remote profiles

To all Samsung S7 users, your phone doesn't have an IR. Needless to say, your phone will not work just like how your phone with IR worked with this app.

I used to love this app and bragged about it. Now I can't even get into it since I've upgraded to the s7. I put in my postal code, then it asks me to set up devices that I don't even have and it doesn't have the option to set up TV only. I can't even get to the TV setup. Went from a 5 star recommended app to a NO STAR warning. Congrats.

Used to love this but now is terrible. It originally let me add my TiVo and Samsung remotes and had lots of other choices, but not is only Roku or BUY Pronto. Lame. And support never responds.

5000+ people and couting who left this a one star literally have no logic. If you actually read the description you would know that this app is for Pronto, a Bluetooth ir remote control. If it dosent work, it's because your phone HAS NO IR BLASTER. The phone doesn't connect to the TV using magic. Samsung removed the ir blaster so if you upset tell them. The app works great with pronto and my Note 5, thanks!

This used to be a remote for phone but the developers got greedy and made it so you have to buy a physical remote for it. I highly recommend not wasting your time by downloading this app
