Superb remote

The older Meridian audio products do not come with an iPhone remote. So you have to build your own. There’s dozens of apps based on using the generic Global Cache hardware interfaces, but most are horrible: expensive, or won’t work without a server, or demands a monthly subscription fee, or horribly complex programming, or inscrutable instructions, or...

Well, iRedTouch has none of these problems. Easy to use and you’ll be up and running in an hour. Hurrah!

NLP

Great app. Been using for some time now and no issues. Works great with global cache units. Wonderful support also.

great update

The 1.5 update makes startup much faster! A great improvement.

I use this daily in conjunction with my AppleTV, IRTrans, receiver and TV. Without it would make the remote control of all these devices much more difficult.

Worst app on an iTunes

I've owned iRed 1.x and iRed 2.x iRed 2 is useless and confusing, and this cruddy app only compounds all the frustrations that iRed 2 brings.

iRed 1.x worked very well once I learned how to use it. iRed 2 and this app are completely useless. I have spent more time than this app is worth just trying to get it working. The author does not actively support iRed 2 and thus this app. He created this app shortly after the iTunes App store went live to capitalize on the popularity of the iPhone. He hasn't touched iRed 2 since...

Don't buy this app. Find another solution - even if it means buying a hardware add on for the iPhone.

This app is a complete waste of money. Don't buy it, you'll regret the waste of money...

Sort of misleading

It requires additional software

Come On Don't Be Stupid What do you want??

My system: Mac mini with iTunes library on NewerTech firewire HD using Apple lossless from CD>Wavelength Audio Crimson DAC > Naim NAC 152 XS Preamp > BeoLab1. Naim preamp, IR controlled, and Mac mini are in my cellar. I don't want to go into my cellar to turn on the preamp and I want to adjust the volume while I am listening. This is expensive but works perfectly for my needs.

Awesome

This app is superb. I can now controll all of my AV; SkyHD, Sony LCD TV, XBox 360, PS3, Sony AV Amp... All from my iPhone. You don't even need to be in it's line if site, which is ideal for me!

Yes it's not cheap, and you do need additional hardware, buy this is all stated in the info.

If you are want to put all your remotes in the cupboard an leave them there, this is the app for you!

I spoke to support at www.irtrans.de first to make sure it would work and they were very helpful.

Best iPhone app Ive had yet, and I've had a lot. Couldn't recommend it more.

Recommended

A great app. Does require the irtrans hardware module that isn't cheap, but overall the package is still better value than the harmony multi remote equivalent. Great to have a real picture of the remote on the iPod. Not aimed at the complete av beginner, but if you have some basic av and network knowledge then it is very good.

Simple

Less clutter! Now all the remotes are off the table and in storage. Simple and easy to use. Awesome app!

Best

The best APP if you are into creating the best all in one remote. It's worth buying an extra iPod touch to dedicate as a fully charged remote in your theatre. Hopefully screen jumps will come out for those that use this software to it's full capabilities. I like controlling my theatre with this native app. It's much better than using a www interface to my home control.
