| 2024-11-11 |  | | The only app with a proper interface for my old Yamaha receiver. All other apps had a very basic interface (power and volume), but this app had EVERY button. Not to mention the customizability and macros! Bless the developer, they saved me a ton of trouble. |
| 2024-07-04 |  | | Absolutely Outstanding! My TV remote broke so I decided to give it a try with my cellphone (Huawei P30 Pro), using IR connection. I was close to giving up since the first few apps I tried didn't do nothing... But this App works perfectly! It has a huge list of devices that can be controlled and I admit finding my TV in that list was a little tedious. But after I found it, instantly everything worked perfectly, even better than the original plastic remote. I am stunned! Very nice App! |
| 2024-04-27 |  | | I used this app with my OnePlus12 to try and be able to turn some cheapo LED light strip on and off. After struggling to find a way to turn them both on and off in the same app, I was able to make some icons that perfectly match the rest of my home screen in fifteen minutes with this app. The value here is tremendous: the app offers compatibility with literally hundreds of different brands and products, from Denon receivers to Aldi light strips, along with a ton of icon/color/etc. options. TYSM! |
| 2023-06-22 |  | | Excellent app, well done to this developer! Ok the last app update is 2020 but let's face it, most phones newer than that have no ir emitter anyway. I like how you select the model number (or closest to it) of the actual remote control itself - and the option to update the list (extensive it is too!) appears to still work. Ads not too intrusive either, I don't mind that. Used this to rename my old Samsung TV's HDMI input to "PC", which improves the pixel mapping. (lost original remote) |
| 2023-03-24 |  | | This is the only app I could find that allowed me to control my Samsung LCD TV with my Galaxy S6 via IR. Took a bit of initial fiddling to find the right model with the "Code Finder", but didn't take that long until I found one that had all the functioning buttons I wanted. Tiny banner ad at the bottom. 5 stars! |
| 2022-12-10 |  | | This app is brilliant! So many insanely useful features. The remotes I want work perfectly. Sony TV and Airtel STB. Macro is the most important feature for me, combined with the ability to add many macros on the same screen. I have my own custom 8-10 macros setup. It's like having my own custom remote. |
| 2022-08-14 |  | | I downloaded this app, because i was desperate for an Xbox ir remote app and i found the ir codes for xbox in a forum, so this app lets you bring in ir codes, that's why i chose it. To my suprise the app already featured xbox one controlls and even the first complete remote layout for my old af Orion TV. The adds are not annoyingly popping up over the screen and stay put in a little bar on the bottom screen, unlike with all other free remote apps i tried. It opens amazingly fast. I love it. |
| 2022-07-30 |  | | This really is excellent - gives more options than my actual TV remote such as switching direct to a specified input. Really was the icing on the cake when I discovered it has widgets to add to your home screen and they are totally customisable. My only feedback would be to allow custom text in the widgets, but that's just picking hairs. Very rare to find an app that is free, developed by an individual and does an amazing job. Great work, thank you so much for your skills! |
| 2020-08-30 |  | | A Remote that actually works! If you have been looking for universal remotes like peel or any of those other junk a$$ remote apps like i did, you finally found a good one. Ever since ir has been removed from mobile phones, almost all remtoe apps have gone to hell and simply don't work or don't have all your devices or are plagued with so many ads i feel infected just opening them. Not with this app. It's not as glamorous with the looks of the remotes, but it has all the buttons and it just works |
| 2020-06-27 |  | | Was able to record and playback codes for my tv on my LG V20. Needed to look at the video in the help to figure out the recording steps though. Didn't see that button to record at first, but easy to do once you know what to do. Would be great if i could somehow integrate into Google assistant. EDIT: seems that i can't add buttons to a learned set. Removing a star. EDIT: Looks like this might support voice commands, but not sure how it works. EDIT: Couldn't get built in XML editor to work. This is a good app. I look forward to the bugfixes. |
