Universal Remote – Roomie

Impossible to use without signing up and giving your credit card number for a trial. Too many ads. Didn’t work. Use another app. This one isn’t worth it.

Great quality, love that this app can control a whole house or an apartment. Great for being able to have one of your basic things(a phone) be your remote. No more looking for the remote in the couch cushions! Love the app and love the other apps made my the company-GREAT quality and user interface

Stop stop stop making changes that break things. Every time this app automatically updates it breaks something. Please learn how to qa software. You have decided to make a solution for integrating disparate a/v systems. Please learn how to be excellent at that. You are not a replacement for homekit, home assistant, etc. supremely frustrating. I can’t imagine how frustrated a professional would be using this software for hundreds of clients. I’m just a diyer, and even though I am down to a single super simple theater room setup on roomie it’s broken at least 2-3 times a year. I dread seeing the new feature walkthrough, I know my weekend is shot at that point. Disappointed as usual.

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.

What happened to the lifetime subscription?

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

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: …

For the home automation enthusiast that loves DIY this is the app for you.

I've read some negative reviews about the MacOS version of this app and I think it should be clarified that the Mac App is really meant to be a companion app to the IOS and iPadOS apps. Roomie is really intended to be used with a touch screen like an iPhone or an iPad, but I've give a lot of props to the developer for taking the time to develop a Mac dedicated app. The Mac version of the App works exactly like it's iOS and iPadOS counterparts and can also be used as an always-on "hub", which isn't necessary for most features, but a nice option for more advanced features. While I understand that some people may be turned off by the subscription model/fee, I find it to be worth the money because a) I can control all of my TVs and media players throughout my house without any additonal hardware, b) the developer is consistently updating the app and adding new features (and is also very active on the forum and c) there aren't any better options in the market that do what this app does now that Harmony has shut down. I really wish the developer would consider developing a physical remote that other family members could use, but I'm assured this will never happen. Nevertheless, I can't criticize the app or the developer for this since that's not the business model here and the product is really solid on its own. The front-end/UI of the app is an absolute gem. I have a hard time finding any room for improvement. The setup/backend process, however, leaves a bit to be desired. While not horrible, it's not as straight forward and easy to use as say the Harmony Hub setup process. I will admit, however, once you figure out the activity setup process you'll find that it's a bit more powerful than the Harmony Hub. I've been an Apple user for years and while I hate subscription models, this is one I can support because the developer is constantly improving this app, adding features and keeping it awesome. And the subscription model is much more reasonable than it once was. Now, if you're household has TVs and Audio devices that are older and not network connected or compatible with Roomie, than I suggest looking elsewhere. But for those that are looking for perhaps a Harmony replacement or a new toy to play with, this app is polished and supports a wide range of devices, so it's not some cheap fly by night app that supports only one brand. This app is legit with a very acrive developer.

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
