Works great!

I don’t know why this app has such horrible reviews. I’ve had the X1S for months and never set it up because the reviews were so bad. I got some time off between jobs and the setup was flawless. It literally took me about fifteen minutes from plugging it in to getting it synced with my Sony receiver and Blu-ray, AppleTV 4K, LG OLED, and XBox Series X…and getting activities setup for each different device. The AppleTV took a bit of editing the settings for power on/off, but it works great. Don’t let the negative reviews affect your bias. The remote is great and the setup is a breeze. I really love that you can completely edit the individual functions that are displayed when you select the device itself. Very happy with the remote and the software.

App works great

App works great and the setup is pretty straight forward. No idea why their avg rating is so low, but maybe previous versions didn’t work as well? No idea but the current version (as of July 2026) is 5 stars.

Buggy software hampers experience

I followed the instructions that were provided in the instructions manual. The remote would not connect to the hub. Instead was placed into an infinite loop of installing the firmware. I had to remove the remote in the app, restart the application, for the remote to be recognized. The English translation is also lacking to say the least. For example, the common practice for users to acknowledge a successful installation is to click a button that says OK. Instead, the button says sure. Are you asking am I “sure” this installed successfully. Not a good first impression. The remote now works at least.

Nice

There’s a manual? Who needs a manual. This remote works great on my Apple TV 4K. The only thing it doesn’t do is voice dictation with Siri, at least I can’t figure out how to do that.

Does'nt worth it

The app for these remotes is pretty bad, and last update made it even worst,can't even connect to the hub
