8 of 25R.I.P. Remote HD time goes by...
This app is incredibly slow and clumsy.... Perhaps this app would have been acceptable 20years ago but definitely not in this day and age! I think that one would be better off with a long stick. If I could give it zero stars I would do so. I am amazed that this app had any good reviews.... Perhaps the good reviews were submitted by the app programmer.
Love the app but not comparable with iOS 11.
It's disappointing the developer seems to have abandoned this app. This was the best simple remote app I had on my iPhone 4s.
App has not been updated since screen sizes have changed on iDevices. Cannot show screen and use gestures at the same time. I use it for an ATV in our car for kids to watch shows in the back. We can't see their screens and it's useful to pick a show for them.
I bought this when it first came out and it was very handy and reliable. Sadly after getting my money and anyone else who paid for it they abandoned it. Never buy from this developer I'm sure they will just get their money and run again.
I've been buying apps since the original iPhone and this remotehd app is the biggest rip off I have seen. Before buying look at all install instructions. It doesn't work on my Apple TV which is why I bought it.
I bought this app for use with a jailbroken Apple TV. It worked for awhile, then the developer never bothered to update the app to be compatible with iOS updates. They also do not reply to any emails. Very disappointed that they dropped the ball and no other app is available to fill the shoes.
