TouchControl Universal Remote App Reviews

Love everything about it but please work on a Apple Watch app. Id like to create my own menus sliders buttons and swiped screens.

I dont know what is wrong with this. It dos t work at all and a huge waste of time and money

Dont waste your money. It does not work.

I have installed this program and it is a fantastic creation of programming........I have used a digital photo of my actual remote and through the support of the company who created this app and who went beyond the call of duty in many direct emails to me to get this app fine tuned and working perfectly, I now have an exact clone of my remote on my iPhone that works perfect!! I cant say enough about the quality and speed of support from Dave.......I highly recomend this app !!!! I am using it without Infrared at the moment,using it to control Windows Media Center on my computer to watch TV and Videos... I will be cloning all of my other remotes into this App..........

Quite simply, this is the best remote control software out there. The ability to Create custom screens is awesome. I have been able to import a floorplan of my house with the ability to tap a room and the lights go on. Tap another button to zoom into the room and close the curtains. Screens can be setup to go to other screens as you need. Click station logos instead of numbers to change channels. Complex macros can be setup when interfacing with IRCommand2. Your iPhone becomes the central command of all your IR and X-10 devices, comparable to the more expensive home control systems going for thousands of dollars. (Put this on an iPad and it could totally mirror thier functionality) Admittedly there is a learning curve to getting it to interface with IRCommand2, but I understand the developer has plans to port over a lot of this functionality directly as well as being able to interface with Auto Hot Key! (awesome macro program) I had to contact support for a configuration issue and the response was much better than my expectations. This app will get your mind spinning with all the possibilities and things you will be able to control from your iPhone. Even after buying the dongle it is still inexpensive and a much lower cost than the other options out there. This App is a game changer for low cost automation solutions.

This solution is by far the best all around. I still have a Harmony 1100 BUT I find that I use this more and use this for all control around the house now! Cant wait for V.3

Version 4.3...thanks for continuing to pump out the features! The new mouse and keyboard fills all the gaps in the old mouse pad, and then some...use it all the time. Thanks for posting the sample on the web site. Also use full screen on my iPhone and getting feedback from event ghost. Great update! Getting an iPad and this will be one of the first apps I put on it. Cant wait to see whats next...! ------version 2.0------ Agree with the other 5-star reviews here. The best feature set of any universal remote app in the App Store. A quality app that would be a steal at twice the price. Glad somebody finally got it right.

Ive been looking at IR remote control applications for quite some time. This app along with IR Server is a great functional remote. I can program all my remotes plus macros while using either custom made screens or pictures of my real remotes. The support has been very very good as well. This app does what it says. Happy customer here!

Extremely impressive app. Very intuitive and easy to program. Strong implementation of Eventghost and Autohotkey. Running this program with Windows Media Center and its making my $1500 URC MX-6000 obsolete. The program does need to be refined a bit (it crashes occasionally and they need to implement a grid for aligning buttons). However, the program is must for any Media Center users that own an Ipad. Well worth the money.

Dosnt work and freezes a lot

Ive tested a bunch of the remote app software out there - this one has the most potential to give you that true custom experience. Like any system that translates wifi to a command on your pc, it takes time to get the end to end system setup. Im running a laptop with the touch-ir server on it and blasting my ir commands out to my home theater system via LM gestion blaster (lmgestion.net) because that library works with my mce ir blaster. The developer is really responsive to requests and suggestions. If there is something you want (that isnt crazy or super niche and actually enhances the app) odds are hell add it as a feature.

Excellent program for ir control. Design is limited only by your imagination. Screen shots do not do justice to the full capability of this app.

This is by far the best remote control app all around for the iPhone/iPad. I use it to inject keys into my gaming PC and make custom gaming keypads and it works great even for all-day gaming sessions. The server is awesome and very easy to use and create your own cool keypad layouts. Get it now!

The Touch IR+ app and PC server program are an excellent way to automate and integrate your house all from your iPhone/iPad/iPod devices. For those PC home automation enthusiast , Touch IR+ integrates seamlessly with Girder, EventGhost and other PC based automation programs. As well as IR remote for PC IR transmitter and receiver to allow Touch IR+ to learn other remote control codes!!! The support is excellent!! Worth every penny!

I was looking at the controls they have for Photoshop and the other Adobe products when I thought about AutoHotkey and just using something to call commands from it. I figured there had to be some app on the app store that did that, but I was surprised to find one and only one. This is at the moment, the only remote app that does that. Plus it does so much more. If I get around to getting or building a IR connector for my PC then Ill be able to control my entertainment system. As an owner of a Pronto TSU3000, Im already used to playing with the creation of an interface and this one is top notch for that. It could use some fine tuning (aspect ratio lock for buttons, easier import of image sets (maybe drag and drop or something), maybe a screen capture feature to grab an image for use and autoimport it into the program. All nit-picky things though, nothing major or deal breaking, the current system works just fine. Overall, an awesome program. It also supports EventGhost now, which is a pretty powerful automation app. I messed with it a long time ago, but stuck with AutoHotkey, may look at it again now. --Update-- I wanted to update my review. This continues to be an impressive app constantly adding new features and capability. The developer rolls out feature rich updates fairly often and listens well to his users. Keep up the great work :-)

Top-notch program. Well designed interface. Most user friendly remote layout creation mode Ive seen on the app store so far. Easy for beginners. Flexible enough to keep HTPC enthusiasts tweaking for hours. Must have for all you USB-UIRT owners. V2.0 Keeps getting better and better! V3.0 Now Touch-IR is a must have for all HTPC owners. This is no minor upgrade. With full AutoHotKeys integration, you now have one of the most powerful scripting languages in the palm of your hand . Worth ever penny. V4.0 Eventghost, Wow! If you do not know what it is, do yourself a favor and Google it. Nice work Dave. Thanks for the iOS4 update. Touch-IR is always there when I need it. I just cant keep up with the updates. This app does it all.

I have been using this application for a few days and so far things are working very well. It is highly customizable and with support for AutoHotKey, Global Cache and EventTrigger (which I use for Eventghost) it seems like it can act as a front end for doing almost anything related to remote control. Although the add-ins are an extra cost, they are very reasonably priced for what they allow you to do. I had a few questions on using the product and the support for the product by the developer was perhaps the best that I have ever run into. Questions were answered within a few hours or by the next day, at the latest. Truly amazing. I highly recommend this product.

I just wasted 5 bucks. Be prepared to get a worthless hunk of nothing and feel completely cheated when nothing in this worthless app does anything without additional in-app purchases. Signed, A sucker who actually believed the screen shots shown for this app was what I was buying

Been using this app since about version 2.x, and Ill have to say its still the most useful app I have. Period. What I can do with this app continues to amaze me. I control everything from my TV to lights to blinds to sprinklers. And continue to be amazed at the updates to this app. 5.5 filled some holes I had in controlling a couple of things, so now its near perfect. This app should really sell for 10x the price based on its features/usefulness. I even bought an iPad mostly because of this app alone. To mattc463 - its unfortunate that you dont understand what you have and what this app does. Of course it takes some time to get it set up and learn all of its features. And probably 80% of what I use it for doesnt require any in-app purchases. Ive tried many of the other remote apps out there. Dont expect any of them to control your world out of the box. But this one actually comes the closest Ive found. Give it a shot. U wont be disappointed. And have to give a shout out to the developer. Got to be among the best supported apps out there. Actually listens and responds, and some of my suggestions have actually made it into the app! Count me as an extremely happy customer!

This is the best app I have ever used at any cost. I have been working on my home automation system for 3 years and the heart of the system is Touch Control. It does about anything you can think of. This App is a shell for you to make your own Home Automation system. If you want a turn key product this may not be your cup of tea. Any negative feed back is simply a person looking for a turn key product. I have never found any product with the support this has. When you realize the power you have with this program you will be amazed it is so inexpensive. A product like this does not come along very often. No I am not related or employed by Touch Control !! Just a person who really appreciates a great product and support when I see it. Al Wassmer
