The app uses Bluetooth signal to communicate with the Sofabaton remote control, giving access to the full database of IR code for home entertainment devices, such as TV's, SoundBar's, DVD's, etc. Devices can be set up by searching online IR code database or directly learning from original physical remotes. The app also gives you access to customizable functionalities such as assigning unique keys to certain buttons on the Sofabaton remote or creating macro key sequences so that you can enjoy the convenience of achieving certain activities by simply pressing one button.
Features:
-Online access to cloud-based database of Infrared Device
-Universal search by device brand or type
-Automatic setup on the Sofabaton remote using Bluetooth technology
-Support both IR and Bluetooth remote protocol
-Requires a Bluetooth Smart capable phone
Not sure what these other reviews are… perhaps competitors? The SofaBaton U2 works exceptionally well with this app. Most of the time you just select the (1) manufacturer and (2) model of device. It auto loads and bam, works instantly. The other method is just as easy, where you push buttons from an old remote, to the SofaBaton, and it learns those buttons.
I setup a project, receiver, Apple TV, and Chromecast in about 15 minutes. Was easy and kind of fun.
A little clunky but works well
Without any reference to a manual, it didn’t take long to get all my devices setup. The interface is a little awkward and there are some things that the app could do better (e.g., configure the TV Power button automatically when adding a TV, using the TV for volume control for all devices), but once configured the remote works well.
One major flaw, that pretty much every app has nowadays, is a requirement to register. There is no reason whatsoever for the company to know anything about me just because I bought their product. Very irritating, but they’re not alone in this.
Absolutely the worst user guide
Poorly written, full of grammatical mistakes and complete lack of context. Demo videos are useless - pace is too fast and image is fuzzy. Programming process of the X1 completely unintuitive.
Too bad because the unit seems well built.
If you’re serious about a quality product, make use of BAs and use a qualified tech writer.
Giving this POS another chance then returning it.
Don’t buy, it now requires to register
It’s a bait. The latest update requires to register! I will never buy their products again, and I will tell anyone I know to steer clear from them.
Not user friendly for Apple TV
If you have a sound bar, Vizio tv Apple TV and a cable box…uggghhh. Not friendly. Cannot get Netflix going without macro but then macro takers button. Just terrible. 1/2 buttons don’t work as assigned…Might as well use all remotes separate if have to change device by scroll wheel. Logitech wax way better.
