I recently bought a Samsung Smart TV and Soundbar. I was unhappy with the cheap and tiny remote the TV came with and was looking for a better remote that could provide larger buttons, better ease of use and could control my soundbar in the event the TV and soundbar went out of sync with each other. This remote was new and the guy at BB said he was very curious to see how this faired. I can tell you it is a great remote for the price. The buttons are conveniently laid out, larger than most TV remotes, and all of the major functions are already in place. It was extremely simply to program...taking just a few seconds. It allows for plenty of customization but I really didn't need to change anything. It feels sturdy and being a bit larger/longer it is easy to grip. My only gripe is the 'back' button is located around the edge of the center wheel for some strange reason and is not really a 'button' per se but more of a section of the disc you depress. This makes it a bit clunky to press. Normally I would not care but with smart TV's and all app based services now the 'back' button is used a ton. It would've faired much better if it had it's own back button. Otherwise it's a great remote.

I was hoping that this inexpensive unit could meet our fairly simple bedroom needs: Samsung television, Apple TV, Fluance bookshelf speakers. It was only compatible with the first two. I also found it to be confused by the PS4. Eventually, it started to become less and less responsive (despite having fresh batteries) and now is unreceptive. I mean, it's only two months old. The software for adding devices is decent, but getting the battery case off is strangely difficult. Oh, and good look scrolling or fast-forwarding with this thing. I should've taken it back when I had the chance.

I have been buying One for All remotes since they debuted back in 1990. One for All has scaled back on the amount of remotes the make now versus what they made back in 1990. This is the first new remote they have had in about 5 years. The beauty of these remotes is that they have been using the same codes for 30 years. They have the largest database of codes and if the remote is missing a function, it can be found by hitting the magic button once and typing 00000-00255 and assigning the function to one of the unused buttons on the remote using the macro function. The functions are random between these numbers so you have to spend some time going through all the codes to find out which number works for what function. This function has been on these remotes since about 1995. They make the remotes for Xfinity as well and their remotes do the same thing. I too found the battery cover difficult to remove with then batteries in. I found a trick by pushing down hard with my nail between the top lip of the battery cover where it pulls away from the case. I discovered scratches and the use of some tool by the manufacturer to get the cover off due to the marks and scratches on the back of the case. I contacted One for All and they would not send me a new battery cover even though it was their fault. Said they didn’t have these in house. The box was sealed when I purchased it, so I know no one else had the remote before me. They told me to return it to Best Buy. I decided it wasn’t big enough of an issue to return it to Best Buy. The app is great and provides many more codes than what is sitting on the remote already. The app was easy to setup. Uses Bluetooth to connect to the remote. I like the feel of the remote and I like that One for All got rid of the red clear plastic on the end where the IR sensor is. This red area used to scratch easily and looked awful after months of use. The signal strength is great. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a fully functional remote at a great price. Also, for someone seeking a remote for a product where they have had a difficult time finding a remote to work for it. One for All has the largest remote code database of anyone and always has.

I bought this product because I have lots of electronics and it confuses mom as to which remote does what when she comes over. I was able to set up my LG tv, Xbox One, Samsung surround sound system and DirecTv cable box to this remote. The app made it more confusing for me personally because it kept trying to connect unwanted devices so I just punched in the codes from the instructions for setup. My only wish is that there was a light so you could see the buttons in the dark but other than that I have no complaints.
