" ... does not work with ifttt. ... "
" ... I could not get it to work on the the tv that I bought it for (I think it is because the tv requires a small cable box to work). ... "
" ... Does not work with Alexa. ... "
" ... So far does not work for Amazon Echo for us. ... "
" ... Also says it works with Alexa, but it is clunky and Alexa is not able to find the commands. ... At this point I don't really use Blumoo, why have my phone act as a remote with bluetooth draining my battery and still have to use the tv remote. ... "
" ... Does not currently work with android with Alexa! ... "
" ... Bought it for the Echo integration, but it just doesn't work well. ... "
" ... Yes, you can control it from multiple devices, but only one at a time. ... I can't connect to the unit with my phone because her phone is still connected . ... Perhaps different hardware doesn't have this limitation, but the unit could not connect to more than one of my Android phones at the same time. ... "

" ... This is not conjecture - it is posted in the blog on Blumoo's website (I believe citing this URL caused a previous version of this review to be rejected). ... "
" ... Does not work with Alexa. ... According to a review of the skill, an update broke the voice control which was only supported by iOS and not Android. ... "
" ... We all have a zillion apps on our iPhones and iPads, and developers must know that keeping up with iOS updates/upgrades is a fact of life in their world. ... "

" ... I was very excited about this remote. ... I always have my phone handy so using it to control my devices in place of all the other remotes was ideal. ... "
" ... This is the best Smart Remote Control for your iPhone and others phones. ... if you are looking to turn your phone into a smart universal Remote Control this is what you need very easy to setup and easy to use ... "
" ... I paide $50 for it (and it's now $35) and so it's about 1/3 the price of a harmony and to me, far friendlier and more versatile. ... I found that ALL the functions of the Dish remote were supported, including the menu functions that I had to drill down to get to (editing favorite channels, for example). ... The remotes are presented to you as a screen for each device. ... "
" ... I have programmed a custom remote with features from four separate remotes and hope to add an AV receiver functionality soon. ... "
" ... Better off just buying a free app from the App Store that works as a remote control. ... "
" ... So if you need a relatively inexpensive gizmo that can operate your IR devices with your iPhone or iPad (Blumoo's ability to bounce IR signals around so you can place it in a convenient spot is cool, and is the reason for my second star) this will work fine for you, but if you want Alexa voice control buy something else. ... "
" ... I stashed away all of the remotes last night and hopefully will never need them again. ... My iPad (and iPhone) are now my universal remote controls. ... If you're frustrated by the number of remotes you have and want a reliable, low cost, easy-to-set up solution, blumoo is it. ... "
" ... I’ve tried over the years to setup various Harmony remotes and ALL of them ... "
