The only app with a proper interface for my old Yamaha receiver. All other apps had a very basic interface (power and volume), but this app had EVERY button. Not to mention the customizability and macros! Bless the developer, they saved me a ton of trouble.

Absolutely Outstanding! My TV remote broke so I decided to give it a try with my cellphone (Huawei P30 Pro), using IR connection. I was close to giving up since the first few apps I tried didn't do nothing... But this App works perfectly! It has a huge list of devices that can be controlled and I admit finding my TV in that list was a little tedious. But after I found it, instantly everything worked perfectly, even better than the original plastic remote. I am stunned! Very nice App!
