Apple TV Remote

By ampsarus (Pcmac user)

I’ve tossed the Siri remote that came with my the app TV 4K into the junk drawer. I could not get the touch sensitivity set correctly; either it was hyper hair trigger, or numb and unresponsive. I have a couple old unlocked iPhones laying around , so finding a remote is always within reach and quick. Press the Home button once and the app UI is there where I left it. If I’m sitting on the couch watching TV, I’m probably holding a phone or an iPad anyway, so that little slippery Siri remote is redundant. I would give Remote 5 stars if there was 2 changes. (1) A button to MUTE the HDMI audio. I’m not asking for a volume control; I would never use it. Just a MUTE. This feature is a no-brainer for user convenience, but I would be surprised if it is implemented due to inevitable blow back from sacred advertisers. The second change is for the app to not (sometimes) AUTO open the Devices screen asking to select a device. The last the app TV that Remote connected to should be the default. User can change that on the Devices button. All in all a very useful app that I use frequently.
A must have app when using an Apple TV

By Andrew Rome (Pcmac user)

I’ve never understood why so many people have negative reviews about this app. My family and I have been using this application since around 2011 with our first the app TV (2nd generation) using multiple iPhone 4’s. Through the years we’ve upgraded to new iPhone hardware (4S, 5, 6, 6S, 7, XS) and new iOS software as follows as well as newer the app TV models (3rd gen, 4th gen, 4K) and still use multiple on our home network. I (We) have never had a single issue with performance or operation of how this app works- period. Most of the negative reviews that I’ve seen are in relation to what sounds as potential networking related issues as this application uses your network to communicate, hardware limitations as to what is wanted out of the application or user error... take it for what it’s worth everyone in my family uses this app for a remote to control multiple the app TV units throughout are home and none of us have ever had any issues.
What did y’all do to this once fine app???

By absmit (Pcmac user)

I just used the remote app for the first time in a while because I had a cat in my lap and couldn’t reach the real remote and OMG it is TERRIBLE!!! The sensor square at the top used to be so responsive and wonderful, moving quickly to where I wanted it to go, but now it barely functions. I hope you guys are working on an update because this is unacceptable. If I was a manager there, I would have sent whichever update that screwed it up back to the developers to get it done right before I let shoddy workmanship like this go out to loyal customers. So not up to the app’s usual par of excellence. Very disappointing. Reflects badly on developers and management. Edit: seems to be working normally now but I’m gonna keep the review intact just in case
Doesn’t work well with Apple products, of all things

By Starsigma (Pcmac user)

The remote is pretty temperamental. It only works 50% of the time based on what device you’re trying to connect it with. The the app remote I have on my iPhone works and connects automatically pretty easily with my parents the app TV which is about two generations old. I have a brand new latest version the app TV and it doesn’t connect to it 99% of the time automatically. You have to manually open up the app each time in order to connect to the the app TV. The other the app TV it pops off the top my screen and it connects just fine. It really is a 50-50 shot whether this the app work with your device. Makes it a bit temperamental and not the best app to use. Ultimately the app is pretty useless and wouldn’t recommend. the app seriously needs to put some work into this app. It is one of the worst the app apps I have ever used.
