Universal Remote Reviews
Plans changes reduce features and increase price.
Custom code functionality was available in all but the lowest tier is now only in pro subscriptions. I have 4 devices and am now faced with spending $100 to simply to support a single DAC with custom codes. I’ve used Roomie from the early days prior to the Simple Control fiasco. I’ve now canceled my subscription.
Works well a few issues
Updated from SimpleControl 5, home syncing works well after a few issues. I’m glad I have version 5 subscription otherwise I think the pricing for new is quite restrictive, I have 20 devices and that will only grow over time.
Long Hard Road
I’ve been using this application for years all through the name changes etc. I can honestly say the application is finally matured enough to be usable for my application (LG OLED tv, Denon receiver, Fire tv stick). The programming has become more straight forward, the user interface while not overly colorful is at least intuitive and usable. Programming does not glitch anywhere’s as much as it used to. I have Govee lights to control which will be my next exercise. Much improved guys/gals. Thank you.
Lifetime Subscription?

I WANT A REFUND
APPLE WONT GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK AND THERES NO INFORMATION ON HOW TO CONTACT THESE PEOPLE TO REQUEST A REFUND $50 DOWN THE DRAIN UGH
Rhymes with puck off
This app: Give us your email address and then we’ll show you how the app works and whether it even uses IR to communicate with wired devices. Me:Ugh. Fine here. But I’m not actually logged in so don’t mail it. This app: Great. Now give us $90 and then we’ll show you how the app works and whether it even uses IR to communicate with wired devices. Me: …
Once again it has broken my setup
Who runs this product? I cringe every time there is an update, and this one is no exception. My volume controls for my denon receivers have all stopped working. Please for the love of the universe, stop making unnecessary changes. You are not going to replace HomeKit or google, pick your product area and your key customer and make them love your product. I expect that your goal is to to retain customers like me who have complex av systems and multi person families who benefit from ease of use of tech. If this is the case, you should be looking at existing configuration to find the most common components, setups, and integrations and then regression test simulated versions of them before you release new software. Seems to me you are testing new setups from scratch, and maybe that works fine, but you are always breaking your more tenured customers setups. I have managed to simplify my life in one system down to an appletv running everything, including on/off and volume - motivated by being able to stop using roomie. So for that system I have achieved a roomie-free situation that is perfect. For my theater, there is a lot more going on and it helps to have roomies ability to integrate and automation controls. Unfortunately instead of being excited about roomie, I spend time like a clever squirrel trying to find another path and look forward to the day I can finally fire you, and stop paying hundreds of dollars a year.
App seems cool buttt
The app seems cool but it’s to expensive for what it is and limited for what it’s worth unless you have upwards of 100-300 bucks for the unlocked app I had hopes for this but was let down by options price and consumer connections like google home and budget friendly devices
Not reliable
Constantly having to restore home. Room devices keep disappearing or functions change for activities. To top it off, the subscription keeps getting higher and higher. Will be forced to look elsewhere for more reasonable options… More and more of my devices use the FREE Home Assistant… Greed is pricing them out of range…
