Grant kay - December 18, 2012Rubbish!
Bought a new blu ray player on the back of this being useful and fun but is useless and frustrating! Won't register on Google nexus 7? Why not! Might take player back for Panasonic?
A Google User - November 25, 2012Great
Great integration with my Sony Google TV and Blue ray players. Really makes me wish all my home theater components were from Sony.
Joshua Skidmore - December 9, 2012It works fine, however...
Everything about this app works okay, the menus are good navigate and it is reletively easy to use, however, I do not have Sony Network Essentials as I upgraded to the Sony Media Network, which I can not log into as I need to log into a Sony Essentials Account... well done sony...
Leo Hui - November 28, 2012Works Great ...... Sometimes
When it works, it is my favor it app. But, sometimes it just couldn't find my TV. I have tried static IP and Dynamic IP. Tried the app on my phone and tablet. The app doesn't always find the TV. I am not sure if it is the TV or the App. Either way, there is definitely some issues with Sony's products. Improve it and I'll give you a 5 star.
A Google User - November 21, 2012Jelly bean??
Useless, STILL doesn't fit the nexus 7 screen properly with text being cut off at screen edges.. This is Sony, right? Your role in life is technology?
A Google User - November 22, 2012Nexus 7 ....
Awful screen scaling - almost useless on this 7 inch tablet. OK on the Asus TF300T.
A Google User - October 20, 2012Does not work with my Bravia
KDL EX720, doesn't find it. Poor show, Sony. Most of features missing, says 'coming soon' since last year.
A Google User - September 10, 2012Running two devices
Great app that I have used on my phone and recently my Asus TF300. Good to see it now runs on android 4.1. I have two Sony devices and often move between the two. Can you put a select device button onto the main options. The only way I can change is to close the program and reopen it, then select device is available
A Google User - October 13, 2012Good but display problems on N7
Works well but the display doesn't fit properly on a Nexus 7. Some screens disappear off the right hand edge and can't be scrolled or zoomed out to fit. Also the display looks odd when rotated. Needs to be tested on a wider variety of devices!
A Google User - September 25, 2012Works but...
The remote app works with the Nexus 7, but the screen layout is terrible due to poor scaling. Hopefully Sony can tweak this so that it displays correctly on this 7 in. device. Love my new Bravia though!
