User reviews

Another VERY satisfied convert from iRule

As a long time iRule user, I was on a mission to find a remote replacement when I found out iRule had been sold and their servers would eventually be shut down. I tried many different apps prior to trying Touch Control and all lacked in some form compared to what I had been able to do with iRule. Also, many were clunky, had poor design interfaces or had problems with crashing, etc.
After spending a couple hours with Touch Control, I knew this would be the perfect replacement. Not only does Touch Control do all that iRule does but it does a TON more and more often than not, in a much more straightforward way. The options with Touch Control are seemingly limitless and as I journey through designing my new remote, each day I discover new, neat features I want to add.
Yes, there is a learning curve, and some of the more advanced features require some basic javascript programming, but I had absolutely NO javascript experience coming in and I feel I’ve made some pretty decent strides in getting things figured out. And the best part of the app hands down is the tech support. It is beyond amazing and always willing to help you figure something out when you get stuck. Plus there is a very nice companion manual which provides a great reference to all the features of the app and explains with examples how to set things up.
I’ve got control and feedback set up for a bunch of different home theater and lighting devices and look forward to adding more.
This is not a ‘set up in an hour or two’ kind of remote. It requires a fair amount of setup, layout and programming time, but it allows unlimited customization based solely on how you want to accomplish things and lay them out. If you’re a DIY’er and like to tinker, this is an amazing app. After several weeks working with it in my limited spare time, I’ve got nothing bad to say about. There are regular updates that keep adding cool new features and did I mention the tech support is awesome? A+++

Response from developer

Hi goaudiomke. Thanks for the great review! Glad you are enjoying TouchControl!

Great remote program

I am using it to control a device across a vpn. It is working great! Thankyou for a app that works exactly as described at a good price

This is better than ice cream!

I have tried out literally all of the apps for controlling various devices. This is by far the best!

Brilliant app

Takes some time & learning to configure but well worth the effort. So much functionality for very little outlay. Support seems very prompt too on the few times that I have needed it.

Worst app ever

Such a terrible app. You cannot login to any new devices and pair it with the system. Nothing works. How can a state of the line theater system be run by this terrible app??!!
