Review summary

irplus is praised for a near ad-free experience and a strong IR command database, plus useful features like macros, back button, and Pioneer AV support. It works well across multiple TVs when the device has IR hardware. However, reliability varies with certain devices, update/list management can be problematic, and the code database may be outdated for newer models. Some UI/UX quirks exist, and a few presets can’t be removed, signaling ongoing compatibility and usability improvements needed.

Pros

Ad-free or minimal ads that don’t disrupt usage.
Extensive IR code database with Code Finder, including many Samsung models and more codes than the Mi remote.
Macros and multi-device support that make it easy to control several TVs/devices.
Advanced features like a back button and specialized remotes (e.g., Pioneer AV).
Works with phones that have built-in IR hardware, enabling use on many devices.

Cons

Reliability and compatibility gaps: some devices/IR blasters (e.g., Xiaomi 15 Ultra, LG TVs) aren’t recognized or don’t work.
Update and device-list management issues: online updates can fail; adding or updating devices manually is not straightforward.
Code database appears outdated for newer devices: commands after 2018 may be missing.
UI/UX and usability quirks: settings can feel strange; adding/remapping is not intuitive; some presets (e.g., 2wire) can’t be removed.
Some preset remotes get stuck and can’t be removed (e.g., 2wire), limiting flexibility.

It works.
2026-05-24	Gr*****	best IR app I've found, I feel like this dev could make a quick 10k and more down the road. 10% of the reviewers is 600 x $17 for a lifetime. I know I'd jump on it.
