Review summary

Overall sentiment is positive: many users say it works well, is easy to use, and has a nicer interface than rivals, especially for DIY setups using an IR LED in the mic jack. However, performance is device-dependent and ranges widely; some phones show only short or no range. Code support is limited and not all remotes (notably Philips) work, with requests for learning/uploading codes and a brute-force mode for unknown devices. Despite gaps, it remains a favored choice among Android IR remote apps.

Pros

Generally works well on many devices and at a reasonable distance
Easy to use with a nicer interface than rival apps
Uses an IR LED in the microphone jack, enabling a simple DIY hardware setup
Popular for DIY remotes and compatibility with homemade IR transmitters

Cons

Device compatibility varies by phone; some devices show very short or no IR range
Code coverage is limited and not all remotes (e.g., Philips) work; few community codes
Lacks learning/uploading of custom remote codes and a brute-force option for unknown devices
In some cases IR is transmitted but no control is possible yet
