✓ Not for my Sky boxI put this in as a sky remote search, for the best will in the world I can't get it to work at all, I do have IOS 6 and don't know if that's the problem but couldn't see this in the description If you look at the help menu it has no resemblance to any sky menu I have seen nor does my sky remote have a menu button? I don't know if the issue is the supplier or the search engine but something isn't correct.Sky-viewerVersion: 2.8

✓ Volume controlsWhere are the Volume controls? Not on the remote!!!!.Ra19701970Version: 5.1

✓ Does not work at allI downloaded the Lite version of this app and it worked. Unfortunately, it only allows control of one DTv box at a time. I downloaded this app to control multiple DTv boxes, and this app does not scan the network successfully. I tried to manually add the addresses and although it seems to connect (no errors), no remote appears. I went to app settings to select “allow manual”, and that makes the “manual” tab disappear entirely!! I will rewrite a review if the problems are fixed..Wdixon077Version: 5.1

✓ Great before the 5.0 updateI am a commercial AV installer and have downloaded this app over a hundred times at different locations. It is ideal when you have multiple receivers in a rack for a switcher system or want to control multiple receivers in a venue from one central location. The key is to connect the receivers to your network with Ethernet cables or a deca unit via coax, and make sure your iPhone/iPad is on the same network WiFi. I also suggest that you assign static IP addresses to your receivers by going to advanced IP settings and typing over the receivers last IP address digits (with the same or new digits). Having said all that, the latest update to this app has messed up everything. I have had several clients contact me this past week that the app stopped working with the latest update. This happened a few years ago, but was fixed fairly quickly with a new update. Until they come up with a fix for this one, I am advising other clients not to get the update, and always set iPads not to do automatic updates..Haleyelise1Version: 5.0

✓ More Bugs Than A Jungle SwampVersion 5.0 is a bug’s paradise. It may or may not work on any given day. Don’t be fooled into thinking that if the free version works then this paid version will work. While the free version has limited functionality, at least it actually works. This paid version is at best a crap shoot not worth the gamble. It may accept manual entry of a reciever’s IP address when auto-discovery doesn’t work, however it usually fails to retain the address. The app’s HELP menu is currently a blank page that doesn’t even provide an email address to contact the developer to report issues. How convenient! Removing the app and then performing a clean reinstall doesn’t solve anything..JobflusherVersion: 5.0

✓ Not workingI can not get this app to work anymore. It does not find any of the receivers anymore..Liya norrisVersion: 5.1

✓ DisappointedDoesn’t work. Tells me how to add my receiver with my remote.. why would I use this if I had a remote in here at the moment. 👎🏻.Brookiex5914Version: 5.1

✓ Waste timeJust down load direct tv app it’s free and this was beyond complicated.11177111Version: 5.1

✓ Big Step BackwardsUsed to work fabulous with only hardcoded ip addresses. Now it is terrible. Discovery doesn’t usually work. App forgets my hardcoded ip addresses. If the system is off and I try to add back a hard coded address, it doesn’t work. Because of all this, the app is worthless unless the directv Box is already turned on. This was a great alternative to DirecTV’s uselessly bloated app. Please put it back the way it was!.JohnMosesBrowningVersion: 5.1

✓ IP address changes on you oftenWhich means you have to go get your normal remote and find the new one which is highly annoying if you've put your boxes somewhere more difficult to get to. (The reason I purchased this app) also many times it takes forever to acknowledge you've pressed a button or it will just pop up saying up address is incorrect 10-15 times in a row also annoying and even after this it will turn out the IP address was correct. When this app works it's awesome just a lot of bugs and annoyances for such a simple app..Alfa KennywonVersion: 3.0

✓ Does not work.Just purchased this remote for my Direct TV Stream through fire stick. Does not work..CensoesVersion: 5.1

✓ Better but....Developer gets points for trying to make it better but is not there yet. The skinning is a good idea, unfortunately the color choices are still hideous. Also, i rather you have a separate color config screen rather than swiping side to side. I have already indadvertedly changed it trying to change channels. Also, the bookmarks screen still has problems refreshing. This was also a problem in the previous version. I am forced to switch back and forth between "bookmarks" and "whats on" to populate bookmarks list with the current program as it just stops half way down. Lastly, If I am at the bottom of the remote i have to scroll all the way to the top to pop the menu which is at the bottom. This is a usability problem. Minor, but very annoying..WinchyOVersion: 3.0

✓ Doesn’t workDoesn’t connect to any of my direct tv receivers. Even when you do a manual set up. Not worth the .99.BzibboVersion: 5.1

✓ Does not workThis app does not work. Will not find my box then when I do it manually still will not find my box..Steelerhater197Version: 5.1

✓ New version needs old remote optionIt works but I miss the option to flip the phone in a 16x9 display and the remote would flip with it giving you more techy look. I’d prefer the tech look than the “DUMB” genie remote look..SliverdieVersion: 5.1

✓ Works at first ... But then it won't workDo not buy this. It will work then it will no longer connect and they will tell you it's because your IP address changed, but I checked and it did not. Plus what is the point of having this app if you have to keep reprogramming it every hour or so cause of an IP address change. just get the direct tv app and use your remote, even when functioning this app offers nothing new (I just like being able to use my iPhone which is always in my hands already it seems like)..BerkeleyGrad08Version: 2.6

✓ App is junkThis app is trash not working with my IP address for directv receiver.KevinbiggsVersion: 5.1
