## Description

Fan Remote turns your Bluetooth device into a convenient remote for your ceiling fan. When paired with Home Depot’s Universal Bluetooth Remote, you can turn the fan on/off, adjust speeds (high/medium/low), and control the light kit with dimming.

Note: The app only works when paired with the Universal Bluetooth Remote, available at Home Depot stores. This Chrome extension brings seamless fan control to your browser for added convenience.

## Review summary

The reviews overwhelmingly indicate Fan Remote is unreliable and unusable. Frequent crashes and launch failures prevent use. When it opens, it often shows a blank notepad screen with no keyboard or controls, blocking setup and renaming devices. The app also fails to discover or control fans and seems incompatible with recent iOS versions. Overall, the app is portrayed as outdated, unreliable, and not worth the effort.

### Cons

- App crashes or won’t stay open (crashes on launch, closes unexpectedly, or disappears).
- Cannot access keyboard or controls; often opens to a notepad screen with no input field.
- Cannot detect or control any fan; devices aren’t discovered or controllable.
- Not compatible with recent iOS versions; described as outdated.
- Overall reliability is poor; described as a waste of time and not worth the hassle.
