Ratings and reviews

Not a good replacement for Logitech, most people buy these remotes as a replacement for dead or broken remotes, therefore the database should be vast, and with the working remotes, I cannot seem to get the learning feature to work. The remote is very buggy (sometimes incorrect commands and intermittent) I certainly hope that all of these issues will be addressed sooner if at all than later.

The app itself requires a bit of a tech background to be able to get full usability out of the remote. Once ya figure it out though it really does offer the ability to program each button on the U2 remote to whatever ya want. The device support for me so far has been able to control Samsung/Vizio/Insignia tvs, Frigidaire AC, Denon reciever, 14yr old Sony soundbar+sub, firestick and Roku. I just learned that it can control a pc as well so im excited to give that a try.

The app works flawlessly. I was pretty upset with it to begin with. Come to realize it was operator error. I have the U1 and X1 but I found that adding a hub wasn't really the award winning idea that perhaps they did. It just seems kinda pointless. So, I prefer the U1.
