User Reviews

Users repeatedly report connectivity problems: discovery often fails, and manual setup doesn’t reliably persist. Reliability crashes after OS updates, making the app inconsistent day-to-day. Many view the paid version as not worth the money, though the lite version can work for some users. The app is valued in business contexts for managing many DVRs across devices, but core issues with discovery, updates, and support undermine overall reliability.
Pros
  • Can control multiple DVRs (useful for large deployments, e.g., 16 DVRs in a business setting).
  • Lite/free version works, providing baseline functionality before upgrading.
  • Simple, straightforward remote interface that gets the job done when it works.
  • Used across devices (phone and iPad) in business environments for multi-user access.
Cons
  • Auto-discovery and manual setup often fail to locate or connect to receivers.
  • Saved IP addresses/connections are not reliably retained, requiring repeated setups.
  • Reliability fluctuates, especially after iOS/OS updates, leading to inconsistent performance.
  • Paid version is frequently criticized as not worth the money due to instability.
  • Support/documentation is weak (help menu can be blank or no easy way to contact the developer).

Don’t waste your money. Followed all the instructions to connect and it never worked.

Doesn’t work. Tells me how to add my receiver with my remote.. why would I use this if I had a remote in here at the moment. 👎🏻

We use this app to control 16 DVRs in a sports bar. It can be a little slow at times to refresh all the DVRs on the Home Screen, and sometimes have to restart a DVR to refresh the IP to the remote app but for the cost this has been an incredible resource for our business. Been using it for years 3+ years now. I have it on my phone as well as a couple managers and the hosts have it on an iPad. Simple and gets the job done.
