I would say this would be a 5 star but the app will sometimes lose connection with the remote and will have trouble reconnecting. Besides that its pretty simple if you're savvy with technology. The app is laid out very well for each different connecting item. The simple remote would be better if i had included a source button, but its not that big of a deal. It was not very hard for me to connect my whole house. I mainly have Samsung products so that was probably what made it so easy, but it had no trouble connecting to my cable box. The app lets you control every aspect imaginable which is nice. It was a great buy for a smart connected entertainment system!!

For those that don't have Smart/Connected devices yet, this little gadget I imagine would be pretty cool. It connects via Bluetooth to your iPad/iPhone/Android Device and via the free Nuvo app, basically converts commands from your mobile device into IR commands (the same way your regular TV remote works) so that your TV and home theater equipment can be controlled. If you've already got an Apple TV or Smart/WiFi connected TV it's likely you already have the ability to control these devices from your phone. If this Nuvo had come out a few years ago, it would've been amazing back then! One complaint I do have is that the Nuvo hardware itself flashes blue whenever a command is sent. This is nice in theory, I think - it lets you know the command was received and sent successfully, but in reality, the blue flashing is really annoying, especially in dark home theater like situations.

This needs quicker response and more powerful app to control it. Would be nice if there was also an optional hardware remote if phone isn't handy

I bought this device with hopes of controlling multiple video and audio devices. I downloaded the iPad and iPhone apps. The iPad app had a few extra functions while the iPhone app had simple remote control functions. The app controls only provided basic functions such as volume, channels, and source. I was hoping the app and device provided advanced controls to replace my Logitech Harmony remote. If you compare the retail price of the RCA Nevo and the Logitech Harmony, you are better off to go with the Logitech remote.

This is a great concept for a remote... small, sits atop your table or desk out of the way, simple keypad... but that is where it ends... it is not compatible with many systems and there is no known fix for that inadequacy. I guess I should have read the reviews prior to buying, trying and returning it... so beware of the inability to fit into your system and the disappointment of it not working.
