Please add Back button *2022-12-03, version 3.0* Got a streaming device to replace my unsupported Slingbox (URayCoder HEVC H.265 MPEG4 H.264). This app not only solves the remote control for TiVo but now I have a remote for my streaming laptop. Seems this app has been ignored since 2018, but with the discontinuation of Slingbox, I know many TiVo owners would appreciate a Back button. Thank you for making this App. Instructions for Slingbox replacement at max_soft.com/Slingbox-diy.him ### 4/5 — Great *2021-10-27, version 3.0* It is working fine on my iPhone X Nice design too ### 4/5 — TiVo remote *2020-03-27, version 3.0* Very nice. I would/will give it 5 stars if they add the back button. Haven’t figured out how to get out of a Netflix show without it. Most everything works well. ### 3/5 — Works but missing key buttons. *2020-01-15, version 3.0* Great app. Easy setup. Missing the back button. Missing power button ( but not necessary) Missing volume button ( but not necessary) Great FREE app. ### 2/5 — Looks great, but... *2019-12-12, version 3.0* The coloured buttons don’t work so there’s no way to open Netflix/amazon Prime movies, etc Otherwise seems to be fine ### 3/5 — Update needed *2019-10-17, version 3.0* It works good but needs to be updated and include a back and standby buttons ### 2/5 — Update *2019-09-30, version 3.0* Please please update!!! This is a battery killer. Does anyone from support care? It’s been over a year since update ### 4/5 — Good but not great *2019-08-01, version 3.0* This app works really good but it doesn’t have a Power button, volume controls and more. It could be WAYYYYYY better ### 3/5 — Not working again *2019-02-13, version 3.0* Great when it works. ### 3/5 — Power button *2018-11-29, version 3.0* The remote app doesn’t have a power button on it! So, where is the power button for this remote? ### 4/5 — Works Well *2018-08-25, version 3.0* Overall I find myself using this app more than my remote. I just wish it had the back button. ### 4/5 — Works pretty good! *2018-01-20, version 2.6.2* It’s not bad at all! However, if the remote had volume capabilities and no ads it would be perfect ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bogus *2021-08-05, version 3.0* Could not get this to work. Could not get past the adds. ### 1/5 — No volume button!!! *2021-04-23, version 3.0* The main reason why I wanted this app was to lower the volume when my husband falls asleep with the remote in his hand! This app is useless to me for that reason. Why no volume?? ### 1/5 — TiVo needs to update this app *2021-02-09, version 3.0* App no longer connects ### 1/5 — App Crashing on I OS14.3 *2021-01-24, version 3.0* The app crashes in iOS14.3. Can you please update it? ### 1/5 — No way to configure *2019-07-23, version 3.0* The app does nothing at all. It does not have a way to configure the TiVo to be controlled. Totally useless ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-06-28, version 3.0* The app stopped working. It keeps attempting to connect then immediately disconnects from the TIVO. Very irritating. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2019-06-16, version 3.0* This app was great for a while but now it’s not connecting to my TiVo anymore. It tries to connect but nothing happens. Not sure what changed. ### 1/5 — Skip this one *2018-10-08, version 3.0* Connects to TiVo Bolt OK. When using the keyboard, entering a space causes the TiVo to become unresponsive to both the app and the original infrared remote. NOT ready for prime time! ### 1/5 — Broke *2017-11-19, version 2.6.2* Broke for no reason. Useless now ### 1/5 — Too many add’s *2017-11-10, version 2.6.2* Far too many annoying adverts... Already paid for Peanut Plus, the add free version, which has now discontinued/disabled. Bastards! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank you for the app! *2023-12-19, version 3.0* Thank you for developing this app because it works much better than the official TiVo app. And to offer that app for free is very generous of you to do that. Thanks again! ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-10-13, version 3.0* I have tried many remote TiVo apps and this one is the best. Even better than actual hand held remote. Dev I appreciate your work, thanks ### 5/5 — Nice Slingbox add on *2022-10-04, version 3.0* After turning on Network Remote on my TiVo it work perfectly. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-07-21, version 3.0* I just ordered a replacement remote from Amazon before I discovered this app.I might not even use that remote now because this app is so convenient. It also works great across all my devices. Great job! ### 5/5 — Works great! *2021-08-04, version 3.0* 5* ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-02-08, version 3.0* Pretty interface.... simple and easy to use ### 5/5 — Works *2018-12-14, version 3.0* After a quick response from Jake. My problem was operator error. I forgot I had screen lock on. It was an easy setup after that. Just press the info button, and go for it. Just make sure you have allowed remote device access on the TiVo box. On the iPad you need to rotate the iPad to switch screens. Lookin forward to using the keyboard feature. ### 5/5 — Works perfectly *2018-08-23, version 3.0* I have had this app for years and even paid for the full version which they apparently no longer offer since iPhone 8/X. All that aside I still give this app five stars since it has never had a problem. I’m actually able to switch back-and-forth between my main TiVo box in the living room and my smaller TiVo receiver in the bedroom. I imagine any issues people have with this app are most likely user error or network issues... ### 5/5 — Works *2018-08-19, version 3.0* My TiVo Remote was not working so I try this and it works ### 5/5 — the “i” and re initiate the connection after the app upgrade *2018-04-19, version 3.0* developer reaponded to use the “i” and re initiate the connection after the app upgrade it worked changed review to 5 stars thanks ——————- Now it keep “disconnecting” unable to use it anymore after last app update --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
