## Description

Element TV Remote by Illusions Inc is a lightweight and user-friendly remote control app designed to operate Element brand TVs and devices. It emulates the functionalities of an official Element remote control, allowing seamless operation of TVs, set-top boxes, projectors, AV receivers, home theaters, and DVD players.

The app features an easy two-step configuration process with illustrative screenshots, supports multiple saved devices, and requires a built-in IR blaster for operation. Users can enable or disable vibration feedback on button presses. This universal remote app is ideal for those seeking a compact and efficient alternative to physical remotes for their Element electronics.

## Review summary

The app shows potential for convenience and multi-TV control when it works, but reliability is inconsistent, ads are intrusive, compatibility varies, and the user experience can be frustrating.

### Pros

- Convenient remote replacement: can control multiple TVs from one app and reduces the need to search for a physical remote.
- Works well on some TVs/devices; most functions work and some users report it works the first time.
- Saves effort and time by not needing to get up to change the TV.
- Positive experiences when compatible (mentions like 'I love this app', 'Excellent', 'Great app').

### Cons

- Often does not function or never works for many users.
- Excessive ads, pop-ups, and annoying prompts (including rating prompts).
- Compatibility issues: not compatible with older phones or certain TV models.
- Poor UX/navigation: prompts to report problems, back button behavior, and difficulty keeping track of the last-used TV.
- Limited range/IR distance: short distance control.
