Cons

Reliance on Wi‑Fi pairing makes the TV Remote for Ruku & Smart TV unreliable in some homes: connection drops, network conflicts, or different router subnets can prevent control. Without IR support, it won't work if the app or TV loses network access, leaving users stuck until connections are fixed.

Many users encounter intrusive ads and feature gating in the free version. Essential tools like voice search, keyboard entry, or remote customization are often locked behind in‑app purchases or subscriptions, disrupting usability. Paying removes ads, but costs can add up, reducing the app's value for casual users.

The app may request broad device permissions and run background services that raise privacy and battery concerns. Users should be cautious about microphone, storage, or network access requests; unclear data handling and analytics can be problematic. Continuous Wi‑Fi use also contributes to faster battery drain on phones and tablets.
