TVO Remote doesn’t work with TiVo Mini
I bought this to use with the Mini in the bedroom, but it doesn’t 😢. Is there something I need to do to make it access the Mini and not the main box?
Still works fine in 2025
If you’re the rare individual that still uses a TiVo DVR, then you should know this app still works well as of 10/8/25. I’ve been using it on Apple Watch to control my Roamio OTA. It does seem to be slightly slow, at least via Apple Watch. It can take up to 2 seconds for the TiVo to react after pressing a button, but it always responds so be patient. Also it does NOT seem to be able to control a TiVo mini. Those are the only two issues I noticed.

Great way to save on used TiVo devices
I was looking to cut-the-cord and use TiVo as an Over-the-Air DVR. I have a Lifetime License and thought it would be
Smart to pick up some cheap Bolt and Mini units that were super-low priced because they did not have a remote.
This TiVo Remote app immediately searched my network and found two models of TiVo and a Mini. Because the Mini was not listed in the app description as a supported device I tested it first and the app and I worked perfectly.
The app shows the TiVo devices by IP Address and you need to set the name manually. This is simple to do once you control each device.

Whelp
After a month it stopped working. Tried over and over to make it work. Did the manual thing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Will not replace lost remote
Please note you have to have a remote to set the TiVo to work with this app. You have been warned. If you have a remote it might work but I could not get that far.
Doesn’t work with TiVo 4K
Want my money back 😡
Don’t buy, app doesn’t work
Scam
iOS Tivo remote
What’s the point without “power” and “volume”??
Apparently a standing problem that should be addressed

Awful
Bought the app for it to not work at all, won’t connect to the TiVo, and crashes frequently. When you go to the app support page, it fails to load. You can’t contact support at all. So that was a waste of money that I guess I won’t get back.
Wi-Fi needed
You need wifi for this to work…
No good
It won’t connect
Disappointed
1. Cannot add TiVo with the IP address. Cannot automatically find TiVo.
2. The opening screen works fine, but when I tap Got It, the app closes. Yes, I restarted my phone as well as my iPad. Neither fixed the problem.
This is like buying a lottery ticket. Excited to think it will be successful, only to realized I wasted money. Very very disappointed.

failed to connect to unit
The app would not connect to my Tivo so it is useless. The Tivo app that is free works just fine as long as you sign into your account. Certainly not worth the 5.00 dollars it cost to purchase.
Wainting for a new remote becuse the old one failed.

Support?
How do I contact support for this App? It works fine but I don’t see a power on/off or volume button. How can it be a replacement remote if these are missing? I will be happy to change my review/rating if I am missing something . Please respond. Thank you !
Total rip off
There is nothing better about this remote than the app that was part of the TiVo.
Excellent
Works perfectly and the button presses respond quickly on my TiVo
IF I need a REMOTE Y R THE STEPS USING THAT REMOTE I NEED
I have just waisted $5 because in order to set up this purchased remote, I need to have the actual remote to set up the downloaded one! Defeats the purpose of downloading one if the actual one is broken. How do I get a refund
