Best thing since sliced bread!
The best thing about this is that you can create you're own remote and have the buttons you do use and get rid of the ones you don't want. You can have all the buttons for all your devices all on one page!
Awesome!
Awesome!
Great application
This is exacly what I was looking for in a wireless remote app. Very easy to use once you have the remotes setup. The setup could be easier, but it is not that bad. Would be nice to download remotes (possibly in the future). E-mail to support was quicky responded to.
Does require hardware that seems like it could be cheaper. Maybe when more of you start buying the price will go down.
Can't wait for updates.

Do not buy
Cost (money I wasted)
1 irtrans poe device - $278
This app- $30
Total: $308
Results
1) Did not work with any cable box I tried after many (many) tries to learn channel up/down and numbers (exhaustively iterated through all configuration options available in app trying to get this to work)
2) Tv control (no cable box) did work(volume up/down and other keys)
4) Did not work with any other ir devices (fireplace remote, toy cars etc)
5) App startup time+selecting remote time+random app crashes kill the convenience/appeal of this
6) Irtrans website and forum are useless

Rip off
It does not work.
If You Have an IRTrans, Buy This
Yes, you do need an IRTrans for it to do anything. If you have one, this app can make your iPhone/iTouch the control panel for anything with an IR remote. It's a very easy program to use. An hour after installing it, I was controlling all of my home theater equipment and my Mac. Pay no mind to the reviews that say there are tons of apps that do this. There aren't, and this one does a great job.

Its Easy once You Know How
OK so you need an IR Trans Device, but hey once you have this its very very simple to use, anyone can set this up, you don't need to be an AMX or Crestron programmer, buy it, buy an IR trans get it on your network and be creative with your remote control gui's. Honestly I'm in the Pro AV game and although this lacks macro's at the moment and page flipping and indeed button animation you just know it will come, right now hands down this is the best IR control APP for the IPhone or I Pod Touch. If you can programme a Universal remote then you can do this, infact your mum probably can. Well worth the Money. the IR Trans is also stupidly good as an IR system.

Don't buy! You need to buy $300 worth of stuff to get this to work!!
I just wasted $30
Gud.
Awesome app but you lose 3stars for too pricy.
WARNING DO NOT BUY
this is a scam, it does not work at all and if you read carefully u'll see that u need a IRTrans Ethernet Device which cost arround 145 euros to work this app,!!!!!! do itunes hand out refunds cause i want one!
A must have if you already have IRTrans modules or want real control over your IR devices
It’s unfortunate that some folks keep insisting to review apps on price rather than actual knowledge. Simply put, if you have a desire to take control of all your remotes, this is for you. However, if you expect to do it for five bucks just go buy that universal remote and be done with it but in the meantime don’t knock what you don’t know.
I feel that I’ve paid my dues, having several “programmable remotes” in what my wife calls my white elephant box. I finally ran across the IRTrans/iRed solution some time back and integrated that into my home automation. Remotes were limited to needing a Mac to run the virtual remotes on.
Along comes the iPod Touch/iPhone and iRedTouch and viola, my virtual remotes are now truly “remotes”. I bought the app virtually sight unseen based on already having some experience with the developers offerings. Have done some initial “browsing” of the App, after buying it, during which time it picked up my current remote with ease. I basically just have one (virtual) remote, but it controls 2 TV’s, cable box with DVR, DVD, AppleTV and a Component Switch. Just a reminder, this is not an app that turns your iPod Touch or iPhone into a remote by itself. iRedTouch gives you control of the IRTrans modules, which in turn activate/control your IR devices. I utilize 2 Ethernet IRTrans modules to control devices in 2 rooms.
In summary, if you already have the required IRTrans modules, this App is for you. If you are tired of buying so-called programmable remotes at 100 bucks+ each time you run across one that promises to do the job of controlling your IR devices you owe it to yourself to investigate what the IRTrans/iRedTouch combo can do for you. You will not be disappointed.
