Are you tired that all your ip-controllable devices like your tv, your lights or your sound system have to be controlled with different apps? ulreco fixes this problem for you. With only one button you can turn on your tv, turn off your music, dim your lights, zap to your favorite tv channel and if you are crazy enough, you can also let down the shutter.

Latest reviews of Ulreco - Ultimate Remote Control app for iPhone and iPad
This app is very well designed and very customisable. You follow a short wizard to add buttons to the page, and these buttons can be customised to do just about anything with the supported devices. There are some minor bugs, but this is far better than the WeMo app for manual control. This app is a breath of fresh air; it is effective and efficient, and it does what it says on the tin. -M
This is for people who want a fully customizable app and is willing to take time to set it up. Great job.
I have a couple of Wemo switches. It costs $0.99 to unlock the Wemo component, which also hides the ads. Then, with some fiddling, you can set up buttons to toggle your hardware switches. This works. But this stops working when the app is restarted (eg, after a reboot, or after being forced-quit in the iOS multi-tasking control). You have to edit each button and re-associate its action with the relevant device. This app could be faster and more stable than Belkins, so two stars for encouragement. But right now its not particularly useful.
Did you seriously demand that we "DONT" give you a bad rating for problems? Thats the most ridiculous thing Ive ever read on here. Your ability to solve the problem has no baring on the rating we give... The rating is based off the current status of your app, not the potential future status because you might have the ability to fix it! Id give you a bad rating just for being dumb, but youre app is horrible as well. It has one of the worst UIs for an app that Ive ever seen.
I want to like this app, I think its something Id really use. Sadly, it would crash whenever I tried to set it to use my Philips Smart TV...interesting that my TV shows up when I pick a different manufacturer, but selecting Philips LED TV makes it crash. For some reason theres no re-scan button either. Also, its strange that the menu slides from the right side, almost every app ever has the menu slide from the left. And theres no indication that its there, so the only way to learn about it is to watch the intro video. I hope to see some updates for the app soon.
