What's New in Puck Remote App

2.0.1

February 12, 2023

Support for PUCKpro and PUCKmed Various bug fixes

User reviews

Works OK but….

I’ve had a Puck model 2 for years. It has worked satisfactorily on iPads and iPhones. However, it eats batteries. I’m not a frequent user so I thought battery life would be more than several weeks (don’t know actual life because of infrequent use). Clearly it is using battery when not in use controlling my (old) Bose Wave Radio.

Worked on…

…zero of two TVs. Great idea guys. Better do another round to finance work on the software.

Response from developer

I'm sorry to hear of the issues getting PUCK set up. I hope our software updates help resolve this issue.

Last version crashes on iPhone SE 1st gen.

On iphone SE 1st gen and most likely on old small phones the app crashes after initial setup.
Didn’t take into account the screen size to use the older ui instead.
This is a lack of test cases.
Waiting until the fix comes.
The good thing is that the developer knows about the bug and will fix it.
Until then I have to use the iPad.

Response from developer

Thank you for letting us know. We’ve been working on the update to address the SE UI and crashes and will push an update soon.

Very helpful

Hi, love it so much but I feel like I don’t use it often but I think of it as a app that helps me when I lose my remote so yeah love every thing about it. It’s very helpful. ♡´・ᴗ・`♡

Response from developer

This is awesome to hear. Thank you!

Good idea, disappointing execution

Setup is easy but there’s many frustrations with the devices and the app. They go through CR2032 batteries like crazy. The app would be much better if I could design my own remote layouts. Buttons I use often are hiding behind multiple clicks, very annoying. Finally, the app is very slow to start. On the latest iPhone 12 Pro, it takes several seconds for it to load and several seconds more to connect to the puck. Usually it would have been faster to get up and get the remote.
