### 2/5 — App Ned’s updating

*2018-04-16*

This app is good, but developer is slow to update. It “stick”now and you have to go out of the app and load again to use it. Bugs need to be fixed, pass on this until developer address’s the issues

### 1/5 — Old and buggy, very expensive

*2018-02-20*

Rewind and fast forward don’t work after a few minutes of playing a show. On either iPhone or iPad. No way to contact and report the issue. A very expensive product. Feels antique! Needs some major money spent on it. Better universal remotes like NEEO out there.

### 3/5 — iOS 9

*2015-09-21*

Good app but does not connect to base station after installing iOS 9.

### 4/5 — Volume does not work on iPhone 6 plus

*2015-04-04*

In addition to having to click an extra step just to get the volume to appear... The volume then does not work. This issue is only present on the iPhone 6 plus from my limited testing. iPad and remote work fine. I have not tested any other phones.

If the volume did work correctly... It cannot be two steps to get to the volume... It has to be present throughout... Just like the iPads!
