Needs lots of work
As a software developer of 20+ years and longer A/V aficionado and a long time user of Harmony remotes, this app does little to fill the void. I had moderate hopes but it didn’t even meet that. Setting up the hub saw constant connection losses, forced app closes, device restarts. Adding devices take 5-30s between steps doing some sort of syncing. Took hour to get just 3 devices. It was painful. And often times it just fails and you have to start all over. Bugs and slowness everywhere.
All that said, once it finally did manage to wrangle it together it did work. Click latency was better than expected after the slow setup process. If you can fight through the app, it will work. Just painful.
Hardware wise it’s great. If the app can improve, it has great potential. But right now it’s nowhere close.

Great university remote
This remote doesn’t need wifi to connect it’s using your bluetooth phone connection.
It’s really interesting that it’s 2026 and a good universal remote is really a hard find. Unless you want to spend hundreds on a programed one that has to be programmed by a authorized dealer.
For the money, the Softbaton a fantastic remote that works really well, also it doesn’t eat batteries either, which many do. My only complaint is you can’t clone them. I have similar setups and would make creating a new one very simple,

Buggy and constant “phone requires wifi connection” errors despite having functioning wifi
Please for the love of god remove the “phone requires wifi connection” error that pops up constantly. Every few seconds! My phone has 2 or 3 bars of wifi and is fully functional both to browse the web and use your app and connect to my sofabaton x2 hub. It seems you programmed this error to pop up as soon as phone wifi drops from 3 bars down to 2 bars. Your phone can work fine with two bars of wifi. Remove your stupid error alerts please!

An OK Remote
Main issue is that the navigation buttons (up-down, left-right) are overly sensitive. So, a single push of the button goes past the area you want and then you have to navigate back.
Update: now the app crashes immediately on open. Remote is good, app is buggy trash
If you already have a “complete” home setup, you’ll prob have a better experience as you’ll only need to go through adding devices once and can forget about the app.
Otherwise, updating buttons and adding devices is painful. Adding devices from their database rarely works so get used to manually adding all the IR commands. It feels like an app made by people who stopped caring after making a demo
