Ratings and reviews

Highly recommended. Once your TV Mac address is connected. The remote does exactly what its designed to do. - The interface is user friendly, simple enough but can be improved. Some color would help. - It sometimes freezes switching from Main to Touch and have to close all app to restart the app. - Last upwas in Jan 2017?! 🤔 is this an abandoned project?

So far, just enough to get what I need done: access to my apps. I have a universal remote programmed to the television that wouldn't give me access to my apps. This app would be perfect if it didn't stop working once I got into the app. I have to use the U-remote to type text into text boxes due to the app not being able to sense certain input bars.

Application is lightweight and highly customizable and the magic remote functionality works great. There are two major bugs for me, however: 1-The ok button (not the click button) does not emulate the basic controller ok button, but rather has the same function as the click button so you can't use the app with arrow navigation as the ok will always register on the cursor position; 2-App crashes when turning the TV off with the power (wi-fi) button. Turning the TV on works fine.
