Touchsquid Remote for Android
Waste of time and effort
the app could not find the internal ir blaster on the samsung galaxy s6.
Don't work waste of space
Purchased touchsquid a long time ago now it says its now discontinued and download to gr. I am not paying again I purchased the full version and now all I have is a trial. I want this free or a full refund of what I purchased as I can no longer install it
Tested on galaxy S4 with benQ projector, Sony tv, Onkyo receiver, and Samsung buy Ray. I tried numerous configurations under each category, and not a single item seems to work. Other apps offer much easier setup and actually WORK. Uninstalled.
Great app... Great support... Does what it says on tin...
This is the best remote ever!! The customer service is awesome!! I got a new phone lg v20( which did not work with this app at the time) the developer went out and got the lg v20 and after numerous correspondence. He made it work with my phone. He went above and beyond to help me get this working!!! I have used this app for a few years and if the code is not in the app he will get for you. He works very hard and is only one man, but if he can help you he will. If you are even thinking of buying this app DO IT!!!!!! I have never regretted this purchase!!!!!!
*Glad to see some updates finally roll in!!* This really is a great deal. It's not flashy, and tough to customize in that regard. But even a $200 Logitech doesn't give you this kind of root control for MACROS, custom functions, etc. There are dedicated activity driven remotes and touchscreens, but @10x & 60x the cost JUST FOR THE HARDWARE. $300-1000 for the programming which happens once. Change a component & add another fee. There may be some hassles with the upgrade & license, but FOLLOW DIRECTIONS/contact support and everything is sorted quickly.
I'm surprised to see that SATV is not supported. Shield even supports 3 remote standards. IR, Bluetooth and WIFi. EDIT: Thank you. I will check it out on a Lenovo tablet.
Love this app. I was able to get rid of several remotes including a couple of programmable Logitechs. I use it to control 7 devices with my Samsung Tab4 and S5 & S6 remotes and all work perfectly. I love that I can customize just about everything. Great app.
Touchsquid provides full customization when you explore all of the menus. You may need to select 'alternate IR blaster' to get it to work with your phone but when you get it all set up, everything (cable box, audio receiver, TV) work perfectly. Any minor issues I've had are quickly resolved by the developer. Increasingly, newer phones are not including an IR blaster, and I won't get a new phone that doesn't have one. I would really miss having Touchsquid.
Pppppp it like a human **
Free trial only. Expired before I could get it to work with broadlink. No buttons worked ans it had an error asking to cancel or continue. Couldn't move buttons or label them. Not buying it after that mess of an interface
I have been using this app for a long time. Still discovering new things it can do. Support is responsive, just had an overnight reply to my recent query.
I purchased then I upgraded my phone to Galaxy S3 and it is now the free version and wants money. Also it will not see the IR on Galaxy S6.
App description says it is compatible with the Note 4, so I expected it to make use of the IR blaster. I start the app and it tells me that it cannot find an IR blaster.
Sharp LC42SB48UT listed as supported does not work. Support provides no solution. Also ROKU streaming stick not supported. Trial short bought app and it turned out not very usable in the end.
It took me awhile to figure out what the setup process was expecting me to do. Now that it's done, the remote doesn't work and I have no idea how to get back to the setup screens. Needs work on usability.
Worked flawlessly!!
Easy to configure and use
Doesn't work!!!
Doesn't work on HTC one M8
Never buy
Thought it would just work with my LG. Instead requires some stupid external blaster.
Doesn't work anymore. Paid for the full version ages ago.
Says no IR blaster found when app is opened on Galaxy S5.
It is still working on my galaxy note 10.1 . But on my note 4 after formating it wont work anymore please help.
Don't work on Samsung note edge and from reading other reviews I think I'm better off buying an logitech remote updates don't kill it . So sad I really am looking for a good android app
Failed to find ir blaster in HTC One m8. Other ir apps do not appear to have any difficulty using the ir blaster so this app must have a problem.
Don't know why I'm rating the free version when I paid for the pro version. This used to be a 5 star app but all of a sudden it just quit controlling my devices. Using galaxy note 5 with global cache wifi/ir.
Needed a remote to control a light fitting. Buttons are not that configurable. Would suggest if possible a learn mode from the remote to enable you to set individual buttons
Complete garbage. Does not work on Galaxy S6 running Marshmallow... So no this is not the greatest remote never will be either. I would give 0 stars but Google Play makes you give 1 star. It's really sad i can load any remote app from the market here and they all work but yours does nothing because it says no IR Blaster found...
I used to love this app but since I upgraded to marshmellow it can no longer detect my ir blaster. I will change rating to five stars once this is fixed. Using peel remote until then.
Installed app on galaxy note 4. it doesnt let me set up a remote. It gives me 3 errors saying it cant find or connect to internet, even on a wi-fi connection! Definitely NOT worth $15. Trying to get a refund.
So far it is working well on my Samsung Galaxy S5. I would like to find more channel icons for my favorite channels.
Since the latest update I get nothing but Null Pointer exceptions. I've cleared data and cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, still the same problem. HTC One M8
Great support when ever you need it but one thing I would love is somehow an integrated epg to work with the remotes
Not sure I can say enough good about this App. Replacing my Harmony Remote that is on it's way out using a Samsung Tablet. App is easy to setup, plenty of baseline codes already in place. If you need one added, Touchsquid's support is awesome! I was having trouble setting up my Media Center PC. Dropped them a line on thier forum, they directed me on customizing the buttons, and let me know you can launch another App within the TS interface through customized buttons. Got me most of the way to where I wanted to be. Explained that the IR reciever I had wasn't working with the codes already in the TS interface and in less than 24 hours they had my device added and ready to go! The "widget" is also great. Like having multiple device remotes on hand, in case you missed a command, or something was left on ,etc... I added a "Global Cache" network to IR repeater to my setup, as my equipment is now all in a closet. It was easy to configure in Touch Squid, and everything works flawlessly. You do have to make cetrain you specify the correct IR port during setup, if you are using more than one port. Default is the number "3" port.
So the $30 one I bought is now obsolete and I can only use this free trial? What absolute BS. Dont waste your money.
