You NEED to use your apps on your phone or tablet, paired with the TV, and the TV connected to the same WiFi. The remote is completely USELESS, other than to turn the TV ON and to switch from Inputs. The interface is absolutely useless... in my opinion.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yeah I just bought this TV and its going back! The remote is useless, I called tech support and they said I need to use a smart phone or tablet. This is stupid. I spent all this money for a great tv and the remote will not let you benefit from the apps. I don't have a smart phone!!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The remote is minimal, and yes, you need to download Netflix, Youtube, etc, to your phone and as of now I don't believe it even supports Amazon! Using your phone or tablet would be a cool option but should not have to be your only choice!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you have to use a smart phone!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you must have the Vizio SmartCast App. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vizio-smartcast-cast-control/id1054033219?mt=8
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It allows you to turn on the tv, select a source and change volume and not much else. To setup and manage the TV you need the SmartCast app which can be a problem. See my review.
