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!

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

Does iRedTouch support controlling a Mac?
