### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2025-10-03, version 1.6*

This app keeps unpairing with the remote. I get part way through programming a new device and a screen pops up telling to pair with the remote, which I did before starting the programming. In fact I’ve programmed one of my devices with no problem. Ugh.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-09-20, version 1.5.17*

It simply does not work. Buttons disappear. Text disappears. And if somehow you manage to get through a device setup, it then doesn’t transfer to the remote. Cannot believe this even got released!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-08-23, version 1.5.17*

I wanted to know the code for my virgin box. Very easy question but no way that I could ask it.

### 2/5 — App Not Functioning Properly

*2024-06-21, version 1.5.17*

App stops pairing with remote constantly. Even when it does, it doesn’t allow me to enter model numbers of devices. I bought the remote to help me set up multiple pieces of equipment but the remote itself doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do so I’m not surprised the app is also non functional.

### 2/5 — Horrible experience. Dropped all settings & no backup

*2024-05-26, version 1.5.17*

This app is so disappointing. Had to change batteries on my remote & lost all settings. App only gets settings instead of keeping them as a backup so you can restore them. 

Trying to setup again and none of my device models are listed AND no models even show in the display area. 

I originally persisted despite the terrible software but no longer as it’s gone from bad to horrible.

### 1/5 — Horrible app does not work on iPhone

*2024-03-16, version 1.5.17*

O stars

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless. Nothing works and no help.

*2024-03-13, version 1.5.17*

None of the apps appear to help, and no instructions are clear thrown the whole lot in the rubbish bin and moved on

### 1/5 — Can’t match any code to my TV waste of money

*2023-12-08, version 1.5.17*

I have a sharp TV and it won’t pair I’ve used all the codes and even the Toshiba ones as it’s the same mother company that owns them still won’t pair

### 2/5 — works 40% of time

*2023-11-10, version 1.5.17*

Used the app to set up my new one for all remote. It was able to set up my LG TV and AT&T cable box, unable to set up Apple TV, Sony sound bar and Sony blu-ray player. Also unable to enter model numbers via the app(keyboard wouldn’t appear). Probably steer clear of this remote

### 2/5 — Update your app

*2023-09-22, version 1.5.17*

I have one controller and I bought another one.  But I can’t find a way to transfer the settings from one to the other one.  This would be a good feature to have in the app.

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing on my iPhone 13

*2023-09-07, version 1.5.17*

Was excited to replace my Harmony with a more updated remote, but since I can program my devices with the app, the remote is useless.  
Your last fixes was 9 months ago.  Get with it guys and fix the issue

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-08-27, version 1.5.17*

Horrible app

### 1/5 — Flaky app

*2023-07-30, version 1.5.17*

App is very flaky. Keeps disconnecting, trying to all a device, some of the screens won’t let me type anything in, the test part doesn’t seem to work.

The remote itself is ok. Can’t get my Yamaha receiver to work properly with it.  I can shut it off but can’t turn it back on.  

I really miss Logitech……

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-05-21, version 1.5.17*

If you somehow manage to stumble through the vague instructions provided by this app, the physical remote is useful, if not overly intuitive. The app, however, is total crap. The basic premise seems to be "Okay, you bought our remote, thanks. Here are some inconsistent, illogical instructions that will leave you wanting to throw the remote against a wall. That's okay, we have your money. Have a great day!"

### 1/5 — App badly needs updating

*2023-05-17, version 1.5.17*

Glitches and not very helpful in key areas like going to pair the remote to app it says “if pairing for the first time…” I’m not pairing for the first time, I just want to pair the remote. Can’t find any help on that. Just one of many things that’s frustrating with the app.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-05-02, version 1.5.17*

Remote won’t pair I just want the damn codes. Impossible to find online for a specific SAT

### 1/5 — Fairly pointless

*2023-02-12, version 1.5.17*

It simplifies pairing the remote to the tv but none of the other features (like macros) are programmable in the app. Crummy and pretty pointless.

### 1/5 — Half-Baked Crap will work better

*2023-01-24, version 1.5.17*

Got newer TV, Apple TV, brand new DVD player and a 3 year old sound bar and setup was absolutely horrible. Tried finding help on You Tube, and still no help, returned tge piece of crap!!!!

### 1/5 — App is useless

*2022-12-25, version 1.5.17*

Worst app imaginable. Crashes constantly

### 1/5 — App did not pair with remote…. Help option also didn’t work

*2022-12-06, version 1.5.17*

I would recommend not bothering with the App and just following the instruction provided with the remote. It took me a while to still figure it out, but I do finally have it synced to my TV.  Have not been able to property pair it to my Apple TV however - the power button only pauses my Apple TV, so I still have two remotes . Good luck!

### 1/5 — Wrong app

*2026-05-30, version 1.6*

I buy the remote. Look on the box which states to download THIS app. I go through, hold down the buttons it tells me to in order to pair, wash, rinse, repeat close to a dozen times. Won’t pair. I finally give up, use the “virtual assistant” which tells me I have to download a different app. Look, I get this is a budget Temu universal remote, but, c’mon…

### 1/5 — Don’t bother….

*2026-03-28, version 1.6*

This app is useless. It just would not pair with your remote. I tried everything, reinstalling and so and so on. It just would not pair. Don’t bother, do you remote set up manually.

### 1/5 — Junk doesn’t work!

*2026-01-05, version 1.6*

Doesn’t work will not connect to remote

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-11-15, version 1.6*

Garbage app that can’t even get BLE to work. Who creates this junk and why do they have jobs?

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-06-24, version 1.6*

Doesn’t connect to all brands, app doesn’t even have the remote I purchased listed and the virtual assistant is no help as you have to select from the list. Will never purchase again, absolute waste of time and money

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-02-23, version 1.6*

Don’t work

### 1/5 — Install app is a continuous crash

*2025-01-12, version 1.6*

App will not stay connected and crashes constantly requiring multiple start overs.  This is is really, really bad software

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-12-25, version 1.6*

A remote for $100 and an app doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-12-21, version 1.6*

After 30 minutes the remote went back in the box and will be returned. The app will only stay connected to the remote for a few seconds, then it loses the remote and you have to start all over again. This doesn’t give you enough time to set up a device. Having used Logitech remotes, I was hoping for a similar experience. This is no where even close. Run away from this app and remote to save your sanity!

### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing

*2024-10-10, version 1.5.17*

This may be the best remote in the world but I’ll never k ow because the install app is a piece of junk. Constantly crashes, have to start from beginning each time, gave up after using iPad and iPhone. How this app passed QA I’ll never understand.

### 5/5 — I love this remote!

*2021-05-19, version 1.5.15*

I love this remote nice replacement for the one I lost that originally came with my tv, I had a little trouble figuring out to set it up but finally got it. Overall a very good remote!

### 5/5 — THANK YOU!!!

*2021-03-23, version 1.5.15*

Finally a remote that works and does exactly as advertised and intended. Extremely user friendly. This literally had to be the fastest I’ve ever seen a device connect to another. My grandfather is terrible with technology and is one of those people with 4 remotes for each function. Now just one remote that he can use! So happy I don’t have to spend hours fixing/explaining the TV and/or remote(s). Definitely worth the purchase, I promise

### 5/5 — Fetch Mighty

*2019-04-01, version 1.5.8*

Worked easy after selecting STB and found my fetch box under a completely different number and everything works as it should.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2018-11-24, version 1.5.8*

This app Mail setting up the remote extremely easy. It also helps to have a remote finder for when we slayed the remote in between the cushions, which happens more often than one would think.

### 5/5 — Veryyyy helpfully

*2018-09-26, version 1.5.8*

This app is outstanding !!!

### 5/5 — Easy remote setup

*2018-08-23, version 1.5.4*

Excellent simple app. Connected to remote first time, reconfigured TV to a new device in a couple of steps. Easier than following instruction manual. No bells and whistles needed, and remote didn’t lose connection like other commenters have stated.

### 5/5 — Works really well!

*2018-06-02, version 1.5.4*

I don't get those below who've had problems? I took 5 minutes to replace 3 remotes using my iPhone 6:
- Denon AV home cinema receiver 
- Panasonic STB recorder/bluray 
- Samsung TV

The Bluetooth connection was stable. 

Access to the huge database of products was easy.

Thanks guys - great user experience!

### 5/5 — Great app and great remote

*2017-10-01, version 1.5.3*

Works brilliant with the remote is easy to use and setup.

### 4/5 — Fonctionne assez bien

*2022-10-30, version 1.5.16*

Bon, ce n’est pas l’application de Logitech Harmony, rien n’est aussi bien fait. Ma télécommande Harmony ne fonctionne plus. J’ai donc acheté la One For All modèle 7880.
J’ai réussi à synchroniser la télécommande avec l’application après deux tentatives. Ensuite on allume les appareils et l’application parcoure le réseau domiciliaire et trouve la plupart des appareils. Pour les autres, suffit de les ajouter manuellement et c’est assez convivial. Pour certains appareils, mon récepteur Bell Fibe par exemple, il faut s’y reprendre quelques fois, trois dans mon cas avant que l’application l’ajoute et qu’il soit fonctionnel. Tout le reste de la programmation comme pour les activités, il faut lire les instructions et l’effectuer à partir de la télécommande. Ça prend un peu de patience et d’essais erreurs mais, ça fonctionne.
Bonne chance.

### 4/5 — Great but...

*2021-02-04, version 1.5.15*

I don’t have all 8 items but I have four TVs. Can’t I use some of the other device areas to to turn these other TVs on. Nope :(
