Ulreco - Ultimate Remote Control App Reviews

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.

Who would invent this stupid app!! I went to devices and none showed up. They dont have the TV I have in my room or living room. Dont get this app! ITS A THUMB DOWN!!!!! TWO THUMBS DOWN!!!! ALL MY THUMBS DOWN!!!!!

Its like the makers of this app decided to stop halfway through the process and didnt finish it completely. When I go on my device page, theres nothing there although the app found most of my other devices. If I dont find my device, I cant use the remote. Absolutely frustrating and annoying. Can I get one good tv remote app around here?

Good overall

Ok, first off - let me elaborate where Im coming from with my review as this app may or may not do what you want it to do. I currently have a Logtech Harmony Hub. Logitechs iPhone app is garbage as far as Im concerned as it practically forces you to group things into macros and makes it difficult to customize them. Ulreco on the other hand lets you mix and match controls from various remotely controlled devices on one page - meaning I can have the TV power, A/V receiver volume and hue light controls all on the same page. Its not the nicest looking app nor the easiest to set up - but its the ONLY one that will let you do this (and do a good job of it). Its not necessarily intuitive to set up but the end result is spectacular and FINALLY lets me use my iPhone the way I want it - as a replacement universal remote where I dont have to be herded into creating useless macros/activities.

I bought to work with my WeMo switches, outlets, and bulbs. It works only with the outlets, making it useless.

Okay but wish it had a restore purchases button cause I want my money back

Detected my tv but wont do anything further on.

Doesnt work for Toshiba tv. I even paid the $.99 still no luck.

This app dose not work at all do not download this app it is junk

Rip off. It says works with Toshiba LCDs but you dont find out until you spend $0.99 for a controller that it is only for 1 specific model.
