1. There any reason it needs access to my photos, the ability to make in store purchases on my behalf, allow draw over OTHER apps, and most of the other permissions it claims to need? If the free version is this horrible the paid version is likely not worth it.Very good app, it works with my old Sherwood amplifier, even if some tinkering is required (you can rename the buttons!) The low point is that some ads have sound and they ruin the music being played.
2. It's got its quirks, it doesn't really close unless your force stop it, the back button is on a different screen than the rest of the buttons (on the samsung remote option), and you need to clear data/cache occasionally, but it saved me from buying a new remote and it seems like the devs are working to fix these issues.Five-star functionality.
3. No issue tracking mechanism for submitting bug reports.I have used other, more popular universal remote apps, and this is the only one that does not disappoint.
4. Backup and restore still works for me as long as google does not delete its google+Impressive remote control app with a TON of controls.
5. You can set up your own custom remote with only the buttons you want from any other remote you have added.
6. Other than that, the app exceeded my expectations, and the number of buttons/controls it has exceeds that of any other physical or virtual remote.Absolutely terrible.
7. I use another app called remote for Android for that, but this app and that app seem to conflict so I have to leave that one uninstalled until I need it.
8. There are several customizations possible though I have not used them.I've used this app as an IR Remote on my Galaxy Tab 4 for 3 years and it works fantastic.
9. This app no longer works with voice anymore so if you want a remote that can do that you may want to look into another app.
10. Could not even get a remote set up without being bombarded with annoying video ads that you can't close for several seconds.
11. I had to close an re-open the app a couple of times to get it to finally load a remote and allow me to test the remote it chose.
