## Description

The **Sylvania Universal Remote** by Illusions Inc is a lightweight and user-friendly Chrome extension designed to provide seamless remote control for various Sylvania devices including TVs, set-top boxes, projectors, AV receivers, home theatres, and DVD players. It features a minimal application size suitable for slow internet connections, ensuring wide accessibility.

Configuration is simple, requiring only two easy steps supported by helpful screenshots. Once devices are set up, they're saved in the "Saved Devices" list for quick future access.

## Review summary

Users find this app effective for controlling older Sylvania TVs, praising its easy setup and reliable performance without requiring personal information. However, compatibility is a significant issue since it only works on phones with infrared blasters. Many users are frustrated by the app's heavy advertising and its tendency to require email input for unsupported devices, with some encountering inactive support emails. Overall, the app is well-regarded for certain devices but has notable limitations and support challenges.

### Pros

- Works well with older TVs, including ancient models.
- Easiest setup compared to other remote apps tried by users.
- Immediate connection and functionality upon setup for compatible devices.
- No personal information or email required if device is recognized, enhancing privacy.
- Volume and other buttons work effectively, better than some other remote apps.

### Cons

- Only works if the phone has an IR blaster, limiting device compatibility.
- App is full of ads, which can be intrusive.
- If the device isn't listed or supported, the app demands user's email for support, sometimes leading to frustration.
- Support email addresses are sometimes inactive or mailbox full, causing communication issues.
- Does not function for some users, leading to a perception of a waste of time when devices aren't compatible.
