Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Love this app!

    By Lee_78 (Pcmac user)

    Not sure why other reviews are so negative. This app is awesome! I hate the fact that the DirecTV remote doesn’t have a backlit feature. Trying to fumble around with the buttons in the dark is next to impossible. This app is a great replacement and is now what I use when watching tv in bed. If it gets a dark mode it’ll be 5 stars for me. Highly recommend!
  • Works well and has good Technical Support

    By Jiminie Cricket (Pcmac user)

    I found that this app works very well. After I downloaded a new iOS, however, I was having a problem. I contacted the developer, and got an immediate email back suggesting a solution that worked like a charm. The only suggestion I would have for improvement would be to add the ability to swipe and see what is coming up on a channel (as you can do with the Guide on the handheld remote). Still, this is a great app and deserves five stars.
  • Works Great!

    By JakeyPanky (Pcmac user)

    You know at first I tried connecting to my the app TV and it wasn’t working at all which made me frustrated so I decided to write an email to the creator of this app to see if he could help me fix it or refund me. Not only did he respond at a good time but also helped with through on how to connect this app to my tv correctly and I was finally able to know where I went wrong and now I’m connected to my tv, it works perfectly!
  • Would be 5 stars

    By jhallbu (Pcmac user)

    I love the convenience of this, especially considering the fact I lost my remote. I just find it super annoying that you have to pay for it.
