My boyfriend and I️ got into a huge fight because we knew we wouldn’t able to fall asleep to our favorite show or change the volume from full blast. Then we discovered this app which not only lets you change the channel, select a different app but also lets you change the volume as if you have the physical remote in your hand. Kudos to you this app... for not only saving my relationship and preventing world war 3 but for also creating an aesthetically pleasing app that solves everyone’s problems. I’ve never left a review before but I️m so grateful to this app that I️ had to... thank you, thank you, thank you! ### 5/5 — My review *2020-09-30, version 1.8* I’ve been using this app for about 7 years now I think I’m pretty happy with it!
