IR Remote Control Customer Insights

1. I have this app for about four years! :D Although has limited functions and keys, all available options are working absolutely fine! l hope the developer can add some more keys to it.This is the only app that can work with no delay and available for full size remote.

2. On + side I could at least use it without watching add.... So it might be preferable alternative in rare cases when it works with your device.I can give this app 4 stars because I found this as the only remote for external audio IR.

3. Thank youMarvelous, the only app of all I tried that enables the use of external IR immiter, the only thing is it has limited types of divices and limited brands in each as well, Hopefully they will expand their lists.Very good.

4. Simple and practical! if you are licky and have your tv/devices in the list, you can enjoy a simple infrared remote! I tried many others, but none of them convinced me as this one.

5. It's like night and day.I have just tested on my old Samsung tv from my Galaxy S4 Mini phone, works 100 % Now i don't need to buy batteries for my remote any more.

6. one of the only apps to take advantage of the tab 3 specifically as most apps won't see it as a compatible deviceOutdated ..this app has a very limited selection of TV brands, only 7 ..and only has 5 TV Box's with no major brands like DirecTV.

7. I will stick with Mi Remote it's cleaner looking panel and has hundreds of TV and TV boxes.

8. Even has the audio change option for movies with dual audio and to top it off, it looks posh.

9. Thanks for your work.no options between makes of televisions.

10. Great work dev's!!Very small number of options.

11. Works on my old Philips tv (prior to 2014), even from afar and with just quick taps.
