User Reviews

Reviews are mixed. A core frustration is the paywall: you must upgrade to the full version to select or add a receiver, and many report the app fails to find their DirectTV receiver. Others praise easy WiFi setup with Genie and note it can be a lifesaver as a remote substitute when the real remote is lost. Reliability is hit-or-miss, with crashes and ads/charges reported. When compatible, the app can work well as a remote on wifi-enabled DirectTV boxes.

Pros

Simple setup and operation with Genie/WiFi-enabled DirectTV receivers.
Lifesaver remote substitute when the actual DirectTV remote is lost.
When working, provides convenient remote control of DirectTV boxes over WiFi.
Full version unlocks essential functionality like selecting/adding a receiver for supported setups.

Cons

Requires upgrading to the full version to use key features (e.g., selecting/adding a receiver) — seen as a paywall.
Often cannot find or connect to the DirectTV receiver, even when it's nearby.
Reliability issues: crashes, loss of connection after reboot, and occasional network reset requirements.
Free version is limited (only keypad) and ads are annoying; setup can require having a remote to configure or find IP address.
