If I were to give this app a letter grade, it would be a C-. The app hasn't really been updated in any meaningful way for a long time, You can't shut off specific notifications, and if you're using remote listening, any sound that plays on your phone will unpause whatever is paused on your TV; similarly, using the microphone (speech to text, for example), It will do the same thing. If I pause a video, walk away, get a text message, and come back, the video will have been playing for however long

The app no longer opens, crashes instantly. I've tried everything: clearing cache, reinstalling, updating app, updating Android. Still won't load. Before that the remote headphones feature worked great, and is the reason I'm desperate to get it working again. But it just stopped working and wasted my time trying to fix it, so 2 stars until it is

When is this going to be fixed!?!? it's been months and months. I constantly have to force stop and restart it just to control my TV. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and clearing the cache. Nothing helps. And it's not just my phone. The app is just as bad on my wife and children's phones. I'm about to throw away my Roku TV for a Google streaming box. this is ridiculous.
