I will be asking for that dollar back. -- William Sanborn, 2024-12-19 ### ***** "BEST APP EVER!!!" As someone that has trouble using a regular TV remote because of my physical disability, this is the best app ever! Definitely worth the $.99! It has really helped me feel more independent when it comes to using my TV! -- Hebs 130, 2024-11-10 ### *---- "Garbage" Does not work or have any instructions readily available…rip off -- bill valdes, 2024-11-03 ### *---- "Numbers where are the numbers" I need numbers -- Siscoziger, 2024-10-23 ### ***-- "Didn’t work at all" Didn’t work at all for me I tried everything and it would not recognize this remote. -- RGUL8TR, 2024-08-29 ### *---- "Won’t connect to Gemini Air" Title says it all. Doesn’t work with Gemini Air - can’t “discover” it, nor can I add it manually. -- David of Austin, 2024-08-07 ### *---- "Does not work. Total waste of $" Does not work. Wasted $ -- Kmd2020z, 2024-07-30 ### *---- "This does not work with direct tv" Don’t purchase -- Boot Barn Guy, 2024-07-21 ### *---- "No stars" This app is trash.

Remove this app from the App Store. -- Twilli1870, 2024-04-30 ### *---- "It’s not working" I programmed it several times and it’s not working I want a refund -- Lfranc12!, 2024-01-30 ### *---- "Didn’t work" Unfortunately I couldn’t get this remote to work ☹️ -- Krob4899, 2023-05-22 ### *---- "Cannot get it to work" With a Directv Gemini device on my TV using an iPad, IOS 16.4 -- Tv999999999999, 2023-05-22 ### ***** "It’s alright" I like this app but only thing needs done to it is it needs a remote control pad on it with numbers and letters to make it easier to search the channels you want to watch. -- Bobcat truck, 2023-02-07 ### ***** "By far the best DirecTV remote!" Can’t believe it’s only 99 cents 😳 It works beautifully, even across VLANs! Voice command recognition is near perfect. Highly recommend it! Only thing I can’t get working is control of Genie client receivers, but that might be related to my network. -- Sami Frustrated, 2023-02-04 ### *---- "Trash!" App doesn’t work at all! Complete garbage! Don’t buy!!! I want my $1.00 back! -- zendrgn66, 2022-09-08 ### *---- "Bull crap" If I had a working remote I wouldn’t need this app. Second NO WHERE did it say you need a WIFI NETWORK TO CONNECT. -- SFC SKI (RET), 2022-05-17 ### ***** "Nice program" It’s good to have an extra changer around. This program means a changer is always at hand. -- Joystik Fight On, 2021-06-24 ### ***** "Best remote" Best Directv remote app! -- Mdwill1414, 2021-05-13 ### *---- "Stupid app" What is the point of this app? One of my kids lost the remote, but to use the app I have to have the remote to program it. I want my freakin dollar back. -- Katiesfroggy, 2021-04-13 [View all Direct Remote for DIRECTV reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Direct Remote for DIRECTV Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | United States | Utilities | #44 | | Top Paid | Ecuador | Utilities | #48 | | Top Paid | Colombia | Utilities | #73 | | Top Paid | Peru | Utilities | #77 | | Top Paid | Argentina | Utilities | #81 | | Top Paid | Chile | Utilities | #110 | | Top Paid | Azerbaijan | Utilities | #232 | | Top Paid | Kuwait | Utilities | #259 | | Top Paid | Lebanon | Utilities | #348 | | Top Paid | United States | Overall | #351 | | Top Paid | Ecuador | Overall | #412 | | Top Paid | United Arab Emirates | Utilities | #432 | | Top Paid | Nigeria | Utilities | #471 | | Top Paid | Kazakhstan | Utilities | #485 | ## Direct Remote for DIRECTV Discovered Keywords -
