### 5/5 — Advice for the next update

*2026-06-14*

Good but please add a button that automatically just sends signals and you can stop it sending signals when you detect which TV it works with especially add it in popular tv. Do same thing with all devices. It will be very good if you do that. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Good until the new update 2.3.5

*2026-03-22, version 2.3.5*

Hi i have a old iPhone 6 I use for a ir blaster to my tv but now since the update i seem to not able to open it soon as i press the app it straight away closes I’ve uninstalled and restarted but nothing 

The app it’s self is great as i said i used to use it daily until this update was released hopefully a fix soon 🤞

### 1/5 — 不能换安卓版的遥控精灵吗？

*2025-08-28, version 2.2.6*

苹果手机不能适配遥控插座与遥控U棒是不是该更新下了。

### 3/5 — Not working for my hardware (USBC IR Blaster for iPhone 16)

*2025-08-26*

It seems like a robust and intuitive app in terms of the UI and controls. However, it fails to recognize my USBC IR blaster device. So for my purposes, it is useless. I haven’t been able to find any app at all for IOS that supports my blaster device. However, there are a number of working apps on the Google Play Store.

### 5/5 — Works for me.

*2025-06-05*

Note this app will only work if you have bought the IR blaster on Temu or something.

### 2/5 — Don’t work

*2025-05-30, version 2.2.3*

Stop working after 1 day like huh.

### 1/5 — It does NOT work and forces you to watch ads

*2025-05-28, version 2.2.3*

It does NOT work and forces you to watch ads to download remote codes that don’t work. It never recognized the IR transmitter.

### 3/5 — Isn’t working
