Pros and cons of TV Assist app for iPhone and iPad

TV Assist app good for

I have this app both on my iPad and iPhone.... The app lets me stream to my Samsung Smart TV and EVEN an old Sony BlueRay player attached to an older TV. Really GREAT!!

Really great app couldnt find anything wrong with it, maybe can use some more video formats ,cant watch my iTunes stuff but other than that 100!!!!

Easy to use. I can play movies, pictures and even my own music playlist awesome!

I can finally watch my iporn on my 60" smart tv streaming from my iPhone. It takes a few minutes to convert some videos but otherwise this ap works great! You guys have saved my EYES for sure! For that, I thank you!

Did just what I needed to do. It finds the tv and the playback it great.

I love it and use it all the time. Not a five because I wish we could see the Internet on there also

Some bad moments

I tried the free version of the app and it worked fine with my smart tv. So decided to buy the full version. As soon as I "paid" and tried to use the app it will not connect to the tv or load my videos. Tells me no renderers connected. How is it that it connected before now will not? I sent 2 emails to the company and gave them time to respond. NO RESPONSE. I requested a refund on my second email and still no response or refund. Very irritated I spent the $ and the company has ignored my request completely.

Sometimes Ill get a box that says "you can only play 2 music each time"

Slow transitions makes showing photos very aggravating and does not work right. Totally garbage

I couldnt connect to my smart tv with this app. This has been very easy with every other app I have used. The help menu in the app just takes you to different non-working links with no help info just error info.

I paid for this app and now all it does is nag for reviews non stop or initiate emails to the developer. I wish I never paid for it.

My App keeps crashing once I try and play something from YouTube. Also having problems playing simple video clips from my phone. Works for a minute then stops working basically! Please fix this or refund me my money! Thanks
