Honestly, I’ve been debating whether to go premium with Eltima’s TV Remote app for iPhone. I’m using the free version right now and it’s decent, but sometimes I feel limited—especially when I try to search for stuff using just the basic controls. The lack of a proper keyboard integration is frustrating when you're typing something like a YouTube video title or logging into a streaming app. Anyone here tried the premium features? Worth it or nah?

I totally get where you’re coming from. I was in the same boat a couple of months ago. I used the free version for about two weeks, and while it was stable and handled the basics (like volume and navigation), I found it really clunky when it came to actual usability—especially when typing. I upgraded mostly because I needed the on-screen keyboard, and wow, it made a massive difference. Typing passwords, searching titles, even entering Wi-Fi keys—so much faster. Plus, the app/channel switching is smoother, especially with Android TV. What I appreciated is that it doesn't try to be flashy, just functional and consistent.
