Cough cough

Bless you!
I didn't sneeze I coughed.
Oh! Cough you!!


I had no clue what to put sooooo. 🤪

Eh

The app has downtime which is annoying because if I need to use it it is probably on downtime.

Bugged after ios27

The directional buttons disappear constantly causing an app reboot, or worse, restarting the phone. Even when the buttons are gone, the haptic controls are disabled. None of this would be an issue if Apple new how to design hardware like back when they deserved my money

Terrible

New app needs an upgrade. When in use, the up, down and side arrows disappear for no reason resulting in closing and opening app repeatedly. This was NOT happening prior to the iOS 27 upgrade

A lot to like ..and dislike

I got this app to control my Apple TV box, which it did magnificently when I first loaded it. However, since then there’s no way at all for me to go back to the basic control screen where I control my Apple box.. This is a major problem.
