Simple yet Powerful
Posted .Loved the fact that its so easy to setup Pronto out of the box with SmartRemote app for my devices. Pronto connectivity is solid..and i can even control my Vizio soundbar. My old RoomieRemote app looks ugly in front of this app and glad to move on. SmartRemote app itself seems to be well thought out and its TV Guide is amazing. However I guess they could add a feature to search for shows to find out its future schedules. Overall Pronto is a small, portable, cheap device that can control your device

Good for the price... when on sale
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI originally got this as a Deal of the Day for $29.99, and I thought it was a decent deal at that price. After a week, it was the Deal of the Day again for $19.99, so I got some money back. Pros: -Works great for most devices -App works okay on most tablets/phones -Battery life is better than 30 days (I use rechargeable) -Way cheaper than many items that do similar things (i.e. Harmony) Cons: -You have to tweak certain remote settings for some audio devices -Manually doing remote programming is a pain (note the settings elsewhere in case they get erased) -No AC power ability -Can easily be mistaken for a bottle of cologne

Exceeded expectations
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendA friend of mine sent me an article on the Pronto Peel. I decided to buy one and give it a try. The device was even smaller than I thought. Configuring the app was mostly a breeze, but I do wish the wizard was a bit more descriptive. I think it’s really cool to switch the channel right from the guide, really fast too. I can control my LG TV, DVR, soundbar and Roku just from my iPhone 5S. It’s also super convenient to switch with just one tap from watching DVR to watching Roku. Also having quick access to all important remote buttons is pretty convenient. Next I configured my bedroom TV. Pretty cool, my iphone is my alarm clock and my remote.

Brings old hardware to the smart phone age
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendPretty impressive would be better for worked over Wi-Fi then Bluetooth. I say this because you could only have one person connected to it at a time. In order for second person can use it you would have to disconnect and then they would have to pair-up their device. Overall a nice unit worked for four out of my five devices. We only want to get them worked for was a pretty old Sony receiver. No cords - works off of 4 - AA batteries Really nice feature is you put in your cable provider and it pulls up the whole cable guide. (really nice feature)

One solution to all your remote problems
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI was a bit hesitant to try this out but it turned out to be a great smart-remote. So basically you place the pronto in front of your tv or any where in the room and you can control about anything from your smartphone. You can also backup all your settings and remotes with google+ or facebook account. It has suuport for all your HDTVs and streaming boxes. Only one I couldn't find was Amazon Fire Stick but you can still control it with directional buttons. But support of additional streaming boxes is still growing. Once you connect your smartphone with pronto over bluetooth you dont ever have to worry about finding any remote. It works with Peel smart remote app which also provides you with program guide and you can also have multiple-room setup. Overall I am happy with the product.

So Glad to have found and bought this, but......
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI just received the Peel Pronto and I have to say, It's pretty amazing, but not without some faults. It won't find my Netflix (although it's in the device menu) or our Fire Stick (to be fair, they don't support that yet I believe). It just took a couple of minutes to get it up and running.. BUT, there are a few unanswered questions. If I decide to switch to my iPad, I have to disconnect from my iPhone and it's not intuitive how to do that and the docs don't explain it well. I haven't tried yet, but I assume I have to got to bluetooth settings and disconnect from the Pronto, then connect with the iPad. It would be great and a SUPER addition to be able to use our Amazon and Netflix account, but so far, nope.

works like a charm
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendIf i could add some changes, it would be letting multiple people pare at the same time, I work at a fire department, it would be nice to not have to restart the thing if others wanted to use it.
Q: QuestionDoes this work on Android? We ordered this because THIS PAGE says "you turn select iOS and ANDROID devices into a controller..." However, the box says for use with APPLE IOS... Is the description on this page a misprint? If so, it needs to be corrected!!!
Asked by Pathmaker.
- A:Answer Yes, It works with Android. I am using it with Nexus 6 phone and Peel App for Pronto. It works great with mostly all of my devices.
