User Reviews: DirectVR Lite Remote for DirecTV

Top reviews

  • Great app! I wasn't compatible but it was a problem on my part

    You need to have a receiver with wifi control, I did not. The app is still a great tool for those that have the service from directv! Thank you for making this trial app
  • Quit working!

    This app WAS great, but it stopped working the second time I tried to use it. I followed the suggestions from the beginning about downloading lite first. Everything worked, so I paid for the full app. That worked at first also. I thought it was a great purchase, and was looking forward to using it. However, after the tv was turned off, and back on, the app indicated that a compatible receiver was not found and most likely my system doesn't support it. Really? I tried resetting my network and tried again, but it didn't work. What is the fix?
  • Amazing

    5 stars works great and when my parents are watching tv I turn it to my channel.
  • Liars not free

    Read great reviews so I tried it... Downloaded it that part was free... You have to upgrade to full version "to choose your receiver" which you need to do BEFORE YOU CAN USE IT. Anyways they will probably delete this because mysteriously they don't have any bad reviews.
  • Great remote

    works great with my directv boxes. Had to purchase the app. the ads were annoying.

  • Great app

    Turn on your wifi and it works great! And it gives you easy step by step directions on how to set it up I would highly recommend buying the full version
  • Annoying.

    I basically just downloaded this so I wouldn't have to get up and find the remote. Turns out I need the remote to get the receiver hooked up. So, for the mean time no tv for me.
  • Best trololololololololooollllolooollollollollollolllollollolol app ever!!!!

    I use this to turn off our tv when my
    Dad is watching somthing late at night
    He thinks it the remote he hasn't found out yet...
  • GREAT

    I have been trying to find a TV remote for my iPod and this is the one you should get because I think you should take this advice because I am only 9 years old.
  • This would make it a 5 star app!

    I understand its just not possible to control the volume on a non wifi tv, bc our phones don't have an infrared beam. However, as I'm sure you're aware, infrared is not necessary to control the volume on a smart tv. It can be done via wifi, in the same way this remote app works thru the wifi in the DTV boxes.

    I have a separate remote app for my smart tv, which controls all of the tv functions, but none of the DTV functions. It would be much more practical using 1 app to control everything.

    I understand designing an app w/ that kind of functionality would mean a lot more work going into it, & could possibly even mean making several apps for different brands of smart tv's, but at the same time, I know I'd be willing to pay more for 1 remote app capable of controlling both my tv & my DTV box. I'm sure others would as well.
