## Review summary

Reviews show Audio IR can work for a subset of devices (notably some LG TVs) and is configurable, with updates improving usability. However, device coverage is limited and many brands/models remain unsupported. Users report the IR blaster failing to emit signals, frequent crashes, and configuration/update problems that leave the app hard to use. The interface is also described as unattractive. There’s a desire for an online remote database to share codes. Overall, there is cautious optimism from some users despite reliability and coverage shortcomings.

### Pros

- Some devices (notably LG TVs) can be configured and work.
- Configurable with remote codes and brands; not just fixed presets.
- Updates and user support have resolved issues (e.g., menu access).
- Positive user sentiment about the app's usefulness and effort.

### Cons

- Very limited device/brand/model support; only a small set of options.
- IR blaster often doesn't emit or work; many devices unsupported.
- Frequent crashes and instability; rapid-key crash issues.
- Configuration/update issues leading to unconfigurable state; updates crash the config.
- Poor/unattractive user interface.
