Very good I like it

I can control my tv with my phone and very good I like this direct tv app better than the other one the one didn’t have the numbers or lets on it it connected right up I’m amazed by this app I highly recommend this app This remote control works and it’s very accurate

I love this app so much and it’s hands free so you don’t have to touch the other remote control laying down the stand

This remote control is good when you’re sick with Covid and just don’t feel like touching the hand remote control laying on the stand you can control your tv from your hands

Trouble connecting

Connectivity issues. May need to delete the app and reinstall

Remote malfunction

Stops working often. I have to delete and re-download or turn my phone off then on for it to work!

It’s good but….

I can’t find the power button to turn on and off the TV.

This is real!!

This remote actually works and was real easy to use! This may not sound like a BIG deal but since I downloaded one that didn’t work first I found it to be awesome!

Needs improvement

I like the app for the most part but could you add a power off button?

Pretty good but missing a few things

The app works fine. But there is no volume control, and no power on , off switch. You have to use a regular remote, or manually power it on , or off.

Works great no issues wish it could control volume!

Developer Abandon

It was very good but last updated 2 years ago and recent email to developer not answered. Developer abandoned all his apps.

Love it

I love the app!! Easy to use!!
I am, however, attempting to remove one of the channels from from app favorites list...

Cool remote, but....

I do like this app, asking t does what it is supposed to do. However, I have 4 receivers (DirecTV) in my house, and although the app finds three of the four, I can only control one of the receivers. I don’t know if this is because my other three are ‘genie’ receivers or what. The app finds them all, but it’s frustrating that I can not control all of my receivers. Rate 3 stars for that and 5 stars for functionality, user interface and ease of use. Average four stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Amazing

My actual directv remote was not working so we downloaded this app and it’s the best thing ever!

Nice and Convenient

Love the app so far. Have used it over the past several hours. Connection was seamless and easy.

But...what is the purpose of the colored button selector?

Frustrating!!

It works fine and then it says I need to change my DirecTV setting to use a “foreign” remote. Fine...I do that and it works for a month. No issues and it’s great. Yesterday, my box does not exist. Can’t be found and this app says make sure you are connected to the same internet. WE ALWAYS HAVE BEEN!! What the heck is wrong here?

Surprised

Looked everywhere for the remote. Didn’t think the free app would work on direct tv. It worked instantly! Right before the game came on!

Not detecting device

Is this app being maintained? It seems there haven’t been any updates to keep up with iPadOS.
It was working when I first installed it a few years ago (before the OS became iPadOS). After a few updates to the OS it no longer finds my receivers. I’ve gone so far as to delete the app and reinstall to no avail.
The app still works fine on my iPhone 7.

Direct iPhone remote.. it is a good app only thing missing is volume control.

It is a good app. Only thing missing is volume control. Today the app works great as is.

It works!

First Direct TV app I found that actually works. My dog is always chewing my remotes so this will save me some money. Would recommend.

Finally

Something positive about an app. It just works. A few issues of speed but this app works.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!! I love this app I don’t even use my tv remote anymore

Just tried it and I love it ‘cause I have access to all my tv’s!!!!!!
