Ratings and reviews

This is by far the best remote app I've found. No ads or sign up, etc; and though I found it a bit of a learning curve at first, it has lots of functionality. I was able to use my Tx/Rx IR dongle on my old phone to learn from our TV remote. Then exported the file to my new phone which has an IR transmitter but can't learn. I then tested a button and it worked fine once I edited the button and re-saved it. Thanks for making the app.

totally love this app but please add a way to test all power button codes for a single model at once . it's so hard to get the right ir code for your tv if you don't know its exact model . also the brute force page is kind of complicated . the option to record signals is hidden in settings down too that's a great feature it should be more highlighted . also love the mocros so much

This is the app I am looking for. I am dev too, I plan to create an app to configure customer remote but thank to the dev he saved my time. more over I want to control my led lamp using this app but by default it was there and the icon is also proper. I think the dev faved same issue too. using this app now I can control my color changing led lamp & many devices. Thanks dev
