    I was looking into universal remotes and thought I'd give this a try. I had a built in universal remote on my Galaxy S4 but with my iPhone 6 I lost that capability. This synced to devices quickly and is fairly easy to use. You can also set up different rooms so one device can serve as multiple.

    This is a nice alternative to more expensive models. Set-up was straight forward, but can only pair to one device at a time.

    I should have looked into it more before buying, but it didn't work for a single thing I own. My tv is a brand new sharp tv and it wouldn't even turn it off. Check your individual components before buying.

    I could never get this product to connect via bluetooth. I took it back to the store and the clerk could not get it to connect to an android device (which is what I have) but it would connect to an Iphone.

    I was excited to get this in order to eliminate the number of remote we currently own. It barely worked. Spent many hours resetting hoping to get it right. After owning, saw the reviews... Trash!

    Functioned well for the first two weeks but a lot of flipping back and forth between functions and then had to re-program for TV power on/off....using a iPad mini myself, but really depends on the touch sensitivity of your screen to perform well.

    This looked like a great product until you tried to use it. Not compatible with many devices. Does not sync up correctly to be operational, just a great idea, great value, poor results

    Ladies/men with hair to/past your shoulders, if you play with your hair you'll constantly pull on the loose wires. After 3 weeks the left speaker no longer worked. Upgraded to a retractable pair.

    This remote came with limited instructions and that made it hard to setup. After setup I still had problems controlling my devices.

    Got this on sale and very glad I did. Harder to program and operate from the app then I expected. It is ok for simple functions not don't let your other remotes get too far away.

    Originally purchased for my 32 " insignia tv in my bedroom as an additional remote. The manual entry of the codes nor the IR sensor could find the tv. I then tried my LG 32" which had the same result using the same manner of configuring. TV number three, an LG 42", a good ten years old was the only one that it would control and I might add that took some considerable fiddling to accomplish. Product was returned due to its non user friendliness and it didn't control the tv I initially wanted to use it with.

    bought this because I was planning on upgrading my Note 4 (with an IR blaster) to a note 7 (without and IR blaster) to be able to continue controlling my media centers from one device. The Nevo devices paired and worked with the Note 4, but not the Note 7. Reaching out to developers was useless. I believe the product has been abandoned. Just returned 2 units today to best buy.

    Cool idea but poor execution

    Setup for Panasonic tv and Apple tv was quick and simple. Where I ran into problems was first with the iOS app, RCA hasn't updated their app since June and has serious issues with ios9. I had to use my Samsung tablet to grrr the app to work. Next I was unable to find my audio system in their list of products, which was fine, but what they need is a code search feature to find the appropriate codes rather than blindly hunting away. Also there is very limited support online for this product. It has great potential, but at the time of writing be wary.

    Far from perfect, but a large improvement over 5 remotes. Would prefer one screen and not have to keep switching between different screens though. Programming for most devices is fairly simple.

    This didn't even work for connecting to bluetooth out of the box. I used 4 different android devices with a array of different OS and none of them connected. I am assuming even if I got another one of these it probably would break down and stop working over time.
