Doesn't work with Huawei Phones. Bought it whilst I had a Samsung phone, which it worked with, but now useless.

O70%
by O####:

After the Android 4.4.4 update on the Verizon Galaxy Note 3, this remote has stopped working. UPDATE: The alternate IR works perfectly. Still love the remote.

Q70%
by Q####:

So far it was 14.99 wasted. This is another piece of junk. So far my model of tv and set top box is not included. For IR why does it have 3 things I have never heard of. Why is there an ip needed for ir? I don't get it. I'm old and this is far more time wasting than a so-so harmony that took 3 minutes to setup online. Thanks but no thanks.

H70%
by H####:

I love the interface and setup was a breezed. Much prefer the layout over Peel on my galaxy tab. It does run some much more obscure devices. Cannot get to stay connected to Roku over ip. No. This is not fixed.

This app was awesome when i had a GS4 but now it does not Work at all on mt note 4.

I've been a user of this app for years. It has worked well on my Galaxy Tab 2, but since a forced factory reset , now I find that my receiver code does not work anymore . I have asked TS Tech Support twice to assist by adding the exact code needed rather than one of the shared codes. To date, the only thing they have provided is the automated email indicating someone will be in contact within two business days. It has been nearly two weeks now. I'm giving up and moving back to multiple remotes or purchase of a competitors remote control system. My advise is that the app works quite well as long as all of your equipment is already a part of their current codes list. Keep in mind though, that any help you might need will be met with a yawn! A side note: I was one of the app purchasers when it was first released, at which time any questions were addressed within hours on the day of communication. I can only surmise that a change of hands took place at some point and the current "team" does not have the same interest in their app patrons.

It worked great on a few Samsung devices, but after forced update it is broken on a note 2 and my s4.

Even after redoing them, they disappear again. Will rate 5 once fixed.

F70%
by F####:

I used this app for over a year before finding another. TouchSquid is pp expensive, a pain to set up, and the UI is super clunky. No where near worth $20. I now use Smart Remote for $7, which works better, is a quarter the file size, and has home screen button widgets. I feel like I totally wasted money on this TouchSquid app.

Z70%

I tried a couple of other remote apps and this one is the best by far. It has every button your stock remote would have and more. Also has more devices then any universal remote you can buy at the store.... Nothing quite like being about to change the channel at the airport or hospital...I had some problems with the remote after getting a new phone. I contacted the developer and had help within 30 min. By far the best customer service i have had for any app. You may think the app costs a lot, but worth it.

U70%
by U####:

I bought this app back when I got my Samsung Galaxy tab 3 last Christmas and world great and still works great. But I just got a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and can't get it to work at all I wish it did... I've gotten other remote apps to work so I know it's not the blaster that is a problem. I hope this can get fix would love to make a 5 star

Galaxy Note Edge, Android 5.0.1... Doesn't seem to be communicating with the IR anymore

Works great and is compatible with almost anything that can be turned on with a remote.

Probably the best app on the android market! Very functional and polished!

I love this app. Hospital waiting room TV blaring talk shows at full volume? No problem. Overly excited sports fan yelling at the screen at the pub? No problem. Just load up the proper TV info and shut 'em down!

Takes a little for the learning curve, but well worth it - a little effort goes a long way. I have dennon reciever, samsung bluray and philips tv and all work flawlessly, it's not an install and use app it takes some tweaking. My macros turn all on and off properly with all the common buttons programed on 1 screen. Thanks Touchsquid! Keep up the great work.

Ive tried pretty much all the codes for most of the range. The only one I can confirm works is the beosound 8. Still love the app!

U70%

Functionally, this app works well. But it is kinda ugly and time consuming to "customize". There is a lot of room for improvement, but even if it was perfect I would say it's a $10 app at most. The UI is not arranged well, adding to the setup difficulty. This needs a lot of streamlining, a little more custizable features, and different layouts for tablets with smaller/more buttons. I don't regret this purchase at all... so long as no one else comes up with something better for less. Overall, good app.

I love the interface and setup was a breeze. Much prefer the layout over Peel on my galaxy tab. Big issue though: Won't run my new Hitachi TV. It does run some much more obscure devices. I have submitted the issue to support and will report the response and change rating accordingly.

The two device issue was all me I had the profile locked. The developer got back to me right away and resolved all my issues and listened to my wants. This app looks like it will be the premier remote app for the android market.

R70%
by R####:

I've had this app for 5 months and since then it has only gotten better. It's far less confusing then it used to be and much more easy to use. They are steadily improving this app and frequently updating it. I did recently have an issue with an update wich made it unusable for about 4 days but they quickly updated it and i love the changes they made.

User interface is horrible for such an expensive app, stupid app for such a smart device.

Absolutely awesome app. It supported all my devices out of the box

R70%
by R####:

No input option on Visio VHT. Prompt response from teck solved by using earlier model but no support for direct input just the toggle. Several ways to access the set up menu which I found confusing at first. Works great now especially for xbox which we use as a media center.

Y70%
by Y####:

Possible to improve interface? It's a bit confusing to set up as well. Not as intuitive as it could be. Works great though!

R70%
by R####:

+ Responsive and fast developer; + in general, app runs well (no crashes / fc) ; + Includes option to toggle between device specific remotes. This is a big plus for me, as I for one do not like the 'smart'controls; + Big buttons so it's unlikely to mistakingly click the wrong button. + Skinning is possible and encouraged. Still looks a bit bulky, lets see if we can come up with something better (See contest at the forum!) - with only 4 devices per profile, you can only have 2 devices next to TV+amp. However, you can create and switch between multiple profiles. All in all, nicely done. Finally an app that supports the IR port =) Starting to appreciate the app more and more, so I am happy to support the dev(s) by buying the app! Edit: obsolete .Profile was manually deleted, and disappeared from the profile list. Solved!

R70%
by R####:

Ver.2.24 - After deleting the .profile in TSR folder using file manager, the custom profile within the app isnt remove unless I uninstall the app and delete the folder in which goes back to registration again. Ver.4.22 - I wish it has an easy access to the profile you make. when your on a profile, its hard to shift on another profile even it did say in the description that "you can make as many profile" yet hard getting on the other. Its also hard to Delete the profile you made, even uninstalling and reinstalling the app, the old profile is still there. Ver.4.x - This is an awesome app, the only downside I see here it isnt user friendly. Its also hard to change or to navigate profiles. Hope there a fix on this on the following update then I'll make it 5 stars.

My current logitech harmony controls absolutely everything in my house from the security system, AC, fans, home theater, etc. I was looking to replace my current universal remote with this app but it doesnt have every brand. For example, I have an Alan & Roth remote controlled ceiling fan and was able to teach the command with the mfr remote to my Logitech remote using the "Learn" command. I just wish this app could do the same.

6/4/2013 update: Happy to report that v4.21 has fixed the load error and everything works great again. As should be obvious by now, this app author's support response time is exceptional. Happy to give it a 5 star rating again. 6/3/2013: Some recent updates were poorly tested and hastily put together. v4.18 and v4.20 both had major bugs (v4.20, released 6/3/2013, created a profile load error leaving the app almost non functional). A little better QC might be the remedy.

No support for FetchTV and the options for Onkyo AV Amp don't work...... Have to change my rating. Support has been excellent and now works superbly. Thanks.
