Reviews for VIZIO | WatchFree+

The app is fine. It tries to control your devices and I’m starting to find that the network performance of your particular device can affect ability to control it from this app. Sometimes though, a factory reset of the device is all you can do to regain control of it. So the app is somewhat […]

This app is so poorly made it makes me think the developers probably only put a few days work into it. Maybe if they took the weekend and doubled their efforts we might have a real app. My devices will NOT pair with this app. I’ve tried multiple phones. Ive tried factory resetting my sound […]

It’s awful. It only connects to my TV after restarting my phone. It stops working as soon as I use ANY other app on my phone. That’s very handy, Vizio. None of the other apps in the Play Store will even locate my TV. The remote that comes with the TV is basically a paperweight […]

It disconnects from the device a lot and the connection to the tv has had to be redone almost 2 times a week. Also casting to the device is quirky too. It is near impossible to pair with this app! I changed my review to one star! Once I finally get it to pair, after […]

This is an really good app so far, but there’s lack of features. For example, lack of profile pictures. I want to change my profile picture because the gray icon on my profile just somewhat really bothers me. Second of all, is that there’s lack of accessibility features for captions. As someone who is unsure […]

App works great and use it all the time, but recently, I have had issues searching for specific movies and tells me no results. I used to be able to search any title, and it would tell me if it was available for rent or free using specific apps. It appears certain titles no longer […]

This app is the most frustrating app I’ve ever used. I downloaded it because my remote keeps walking off, and I thought this would be a good solution until I find where the remote is hidden. However, it only works approximately 60% of the time, and when it DOES work, it’s frequently very slow and […]

Just bought a p-series soundbar and the app is terrible. It always reloads when entering the app. Even if I have the app open and switch, for a second to another and come back, it has to find the device again and that’s a 50/50 chance of happening. I can’t find my brand new sound […]

Here we go again. Can we just get a consistent remote function without the added BS. In the effort to “make things bigger and better,” connection is lost again. Or even better, can we just get a standard remote that can be purchased since we were shafted with the basic remote that came with our […]

Dependable. Since the app and the TV communicate through WiFi, I can control the TV when the phone is laying on a table in the kitchen — the traditional infrared remote control can’t do that. The app’s menus are more flexible than using the Vizio remote control, too. But, the app doesn’t see my TV […]

I bought a couple of replacement remote controls, and this app works so much easier than they do (got my daughter and me one since she’s always losing hers). I hate the Watch Free button on the remote because I’m constantly pressing it due to its placement. However, using this app on my phone fixes […]

I thought that I could use the app to play music from my phone off of YouTube to my 5.1 soundbar SE without having the TV screen on. I guess not, it won’t even connect. If it takes longer than five seconds to connect or find the device, it’s not worth it and that’s being […]

I’ve owned this speaker for a month,the sound quality is great. One huge downfall is I can’t ever keep my Bluetooth connected. The Vizio app I have uninstalled multiple times. I have restarted my phone multiple times. I have unplugged and hard reset the speaker multiple times. nothing works. the app will work for about […]

This is so damn annoying, I tried to connect my app to my tv for about an hour. It doesn’t work. The app constantly tells me it’s unable to process requests and straight up does nothing, I retry and retry, disconnect my wifi, get another code, use the mobile app which barely works or head […]

Just use the remote instead! 99% of the time I can’t connect to the speaker with this app. When it does connect, it will work for only a couple minutes. I then waste another part of my life trying and hoping it will work again. Unplugging it and reconnecting the power plug does increase my […]

I don’t know why people say you can watch shows on your phone. Maybe on Apple but not on Android. All it does is stream to the tv. Terrible app and streaming is slow and drops connection repeatedly. Please make it so we can listen to the tv sound through our phone so we don’t […]

I bought this TV thinking it was going to be an easy set up.. nothing can be further than the truth. 1. the app and TV are useless unless there is an internet connection. even to set up the TV its required. 2 the insane data collection.. way to much info is asked from us. […]

It’s convenient to have if you lose your remote or the batteries die. Or if you have more than one Vizio TV in the same room….but…the fact that it keeps disconnecting from the TV, nonstop, is beyond annoying and aggravating. Most of the time it won’t reconnect no matter how many times you try and […]

I have gone through 3 Vizio replacement remotes. For some reason, the TV doesn’t want to respond to the remote buttons, or when it does it lags or goes in the wrong direction, or makes the wrong selection. It’s Maddening. This app alleviates those issues. Issues with App…It won’t turn the TV on if it’s […]

Had some problems in the past that support worked out for me. This app has come a long way and is working great for me. I have had a few minor issues here and there, usually after an Android update, but they usually get fixed pretty quick. I can’t give it 5 stars yet as […]
