No doesn’t work

I’ve tried everything and still can’t get this app to work. It doesn’t work at all. If your looking for a app remote go with the full version.

Not good at all

It didn’t work. I lost my remote and I had to use the remote to set the application up. Also too many instructions.

Horrible app

Downloaded app it asked to choose receiver and nothing appeared except to charge me more. Already pay them $155 per month. My contract up next week. Guess who is going to drop their “service”? Since att took over it’s been a disaster

doesn’t make sense

I downloaded this app so I could use as a remote, but I can’t because I need to find the IP address. IN ORDER TO FIND OUT WHAT MY IP ADDRESS IS I NEED THE REMOTE TO GO TO SETTINGS. I downloaded it because I don’t have a remote SO WHATS THE POINT ?!?
