Functional, but with annoying issues

It works, however it fails to sync information such as what is playing very well and has limited networking diagnostics. $5 is a good price for this.

Panic > Elated

App would not open from the bottom bar, realized it’s in the top bar and needs me to select the correct apple tv in my home. Once I figured that out, it’s very handy. Worth the $5 to the developers. Can select appletv apps directly, navigate easily, legit tool.

Response from developer

Thanks! And just to add – for the same $5 you also get the iOS version – give it a try! It has backdrops from movies/series and other useful features Apple's Remote app does not offer.

Very Well Thought Out

Very well thought out and put together! The app is easy to use, intuitive, and works exactly as you’d expect. You can tell a lot of care went into the design and overall experience. Everything feels polished and straightforward without being overcomplicated. Great work to the developer!

Response from developer

Thanks so much, really means a lot to hear that! I put a ton of time into getting the details right, so this kind of feedback keeps me going. Glad it's working well for you!

Keine Familienfreigabe

Sehr schade, dass es keine Familienfreigabe gibt. Die Apple TV Fernbedienung ist defekt und ItsyTV ist eine super Alternative. Wir sind allerdings nicht bereit, trotz Familienfreigabe für jedes Gerät jeweils 5,99€ zu zahlen.

Response from developer

Danke für dein Feedback – aber Itsytv unterstützt tatsächlich die Familienfreigabe! Bitte stell sicher, dass Familienfreigabe in deinen Apple-Einstellungen korrekt eingerichtet ist, dann sollte der Kauf für alle Familienmitglieder verfügbar sein. Falls es trotzdem nicht klappt, meld dich gerne über den Support-Link in der App.

Awesome app

Awesome remote app. Works better than the native app and not only that, a single purchase gets you support on macOS which doesn’t even have a native remote for Apple TV. 🤯

Response from developer

Thanks for the awesome review – I’m really glad Itsytv is working better for you than the native remote. Happy it’s also been useful on macOS, especially since there isn’t a built-in Apple TV remote there.
