| 2024-12-13 |  | | Nice Remote control very useful l like this... |
| 2024-11-16 |  | | No address provided under app support. This is suspicious in the current state of the world and cyber-security. Google needs to require a correct complete address so that we can trust the app. I'm seeing RED. |
| 2024-10-10 |  | | I have LOST my remote for my Sony SDA -D-40 . and I thought of downloading the app which can let me control my music system. it works seamlessly. it's been 4 years . I stopped looking for my original remote stick when I bought this music system . guys download it |
| 2022-12-12 |  | | This one's actually good, worked great on my old phone but my new phone unfortunately doesn't have an IR blaster. Found it again while searching for a WiFi remote and thought I may as well give it the 5 stars it honestly deserves haha. It's quick, no overbearing ads, and the UI is clean and easy to use :) |
| 2021-03-28 |  | | This works fine on my Galaxy S4 to control my Sony Blu Ray BDP-BX510. I had to try 10+ remote presets before I found the 11th and 12th worked. I also did not know there are hidden buttons to the remote and you need to scroll down to see them, like the directional arrows and enter commands which are critical for navigating a Blu Ray menu. Not super polished but I am glad it works! |
| 2021-03-24 |  | | Lost my remote for my blue ray player and this one is so highly rated, thought I'd give it a go. The moment I opened it there was an ad. Uninstalled immediately. I don't feel ads have any place in a remote app. |
| 2020-12-12 |  | | Useless app. Same issue as other user. Everytime we test, it buzzes and asks to send email and then an ad shows up. No logical flow in the app. The app designer probably doesn't even use it himself/herself. |
| 2020-10-25 |  | | Does what I need, setting up a second hand Sony DVD player and speaker system without the remote. The app I have does not have the right buttons, this one did. Some adds, but I only need it once or twice. |
| 2020-10-21 |  | | Excellent. I have had this stereo since 2002. I have it hooked up to my TV and it's just basically a "if it ain't broke don't buy one" type of situation. Well the remote is not working as well as it once did. Some days it works, some days it doesn't so I downloaded the app and now I do not have to get up on nonworking days. |
| 2020-09-26 |  | | Best universal remote I've used. Boop Boop Boop and done. It's connected to the TV and I'm away. It multiple device setting means can be used for speakers as well. Would give more stats I've avaliable. Ps. No.freaking.pop.ups. gold star!! |
