iRedTouch

The older Meridian audio products do not come with an iPhone remote. So you have to build your own. There’s dozens of apps based on using the generic Global Cache hardware interfaces, but most are horrible: expensive, or won’t work without a server, or demands a monthly subscription fee, or horribly complex programming, or inscrutable instructions, or... Well, iRedTouch has none of these problems. Easy to use and you’ll be up and running in an hour. Hurrah!

The 1.5 update makes startup much faster! A great improvement. I use this daily in conjunction with my AppleTV, IRTrans, receiver and TV. Without it would make the remote control of all these devices much more difficult.

I've owned iRed 1.x and iRed 2.x iRed 2 is useless and confusing, and this cruddy app only compounds all the frustrations that iRed 2 brings. iRed 1.x worked very well once I learned how to use it. iRed 2 and this app are completely useless. I have spent more time than this app is worth just trying to get it working. The author does not actively support iRed 2 and thus this app. He created this app shortly after the iTunes App store went live to capitalize on the popularity of the iPhone. He hasn't touched iRed 2 since... Don't buy this app. Find another solution - even if it means buying a hardware add on for the iPhone. This app is a complete waste of money. Don't buy it, you'll regret the waste of money...

My system: Mac mini with iTunes library on NewerTech firewire HD using Apple lossless from CD>Wavelength Audio Crimson DAC > Naim NAC 152 XS Preamp > BeoLab1. Naim preamp, IR controlled, and Mac mini are in my cellar. I don't want to go into my cellar to turn on the preamp and I want to adjust the volume while I am listening. This is expensive but works perfectly for my needs.

Less clutter! Now all the remotes are off the table and in storage. Simple and easy to use. Awesome app!

The best APP if you are into creating the best all in one remote. It's worth buying an extra iPod touch to dedicate as a fully charged remote in your theatre. Hopefully screen jumps will come out for those that use this software to it's full capabilities. I like controlling my theatre with this native app. It's much better than using a www interface to my home control.

This is exacly what I was looking for in a wireless remote app. Very easy to use once you have the remotes setup. The setup could be easier, but it is not that bad. Would be nice to download remotes (possibly in the future). E-mail to support was quicky responded to. Does require hardware that seems like it could be cheaper. Maybe when more of you start buying the price will go down. Can't wait for updates.

Cost (money I wasted) 1 irtrans poe device - $278 This app- $30 Total: $308 Results 1) Did not work with any cable box I tried after many (many) tries to learn channel up/down and numbers (exhaustively iterated through all configuration options available in app trying to get this to work) 2) Tv control (no cable box) did work(volume up/down and other keys) 4) Did not work with any other ir devices (fireplace remote, toy cars etc) 5) App startup time+selecting remote time+random app crashes kill the convenience/appeal of this 6) Irtrans website and forum are useless

It does not work.

Yes, you do need an IRTrans for it to do anything. If you have one, this app can make your iPhone/iTouch the control panel for anything with an IR remote. It's a very easy program to use. An hour after installing it, I was controlling all of my home theater equipment and my Mac. Pay no mind to the reviews that say there are tons of apps that do this. There aren't, and this one does a great job.
