I don't seem to have the problems others are having with this. I lost the physical remote for my WD TV Live box, so this APP was very useful and works fine for me. Tip = If you lose your "proper" remote and need to set up your WD TV live box, simply plug a normal USB computer keyboard into it = it works and allows you to enter your network details etc.

Requires wifi, rather than using onboard irda (infrared, like on remotes), from device, Android has a class or function call for this, please use it? Cannot even choose device without being attached to wifi. If I have a few of these in different rooms, all on same network, I'd like each to signal different ones based on where I point my phone. I'd also like for friends/guest-networked phones to work without adding them to a more secure side of my networks where things like media shares may lay vulnerable.

It is snappy and does the job for we TV live device. One thing bugs me - cannot find subtitles option which is a must for me.

This app does exactly what I needed, a remote for my old WD Live TV box. Works great for what I need!

I guess it works better on ios. It works fine on my ipad and iphone but not on my android devices. Hope you can resolve this issue.
