8 of 15Great update... So do not update the interface its works great.
The app no longer has power button to activate my wdlivetv.
All the naysayers about the gesture feature...why bother having a remote on your phone? The gesture feature works well & the ability to now switch BETWEEN the old fashioned button mode & the gesture mode is great & should appease you. I manually had to go through and Get Content Info for a few of my movies...& that brings me to the keyboard feature. It's awesome. Please fix the typing issue. Any special characters or spaces results in "20%" between the words. While it seems to still search & find the videos just fine, it is still a frustrating bug. All in all a great app considering how it started. I will say that the volume is a bit twitchy. If I turn it all the way down the sound is off. Anywhere in between it seems to stay the same. Doesn't really bother me, but you guys should look into it just the same. You should add the ability to swipe through your selections on your phone, rather than having to be watching the tv & selecting it that way. I'd like to be able to select a film for my child without having to view the tv. Almost like mirroring the image from your tv to the smartphone. I'd be happy with this. No video playback needed. Make it happen and this app would be beyond measure!
Not able to connect, please fix
I recently switched from a droid to iOS. I say this only because the droid version works nicely and this one has an irritating bug. The services section of the remote in YouTube Videos doesn't work properly when searching. When you use the spacebar, the search bar adds "%20" which results in no videos being found, whatsoever. An update would be greatly appreciated!
Piece of junk won't connect! And why does Apple make me rewrite this review several times simply because a nickname is already taken?
I have an iPhone 6 this app won't connect to my WD Tv live
This worked great for about a month. Then, some icons disappeared on the remote, then it stopped being able to sync with our device. :(
