Best Remote Overall hands down

The Simple Control remote app is a superior remote in nearly every way to any of the Logitech products or other universal remotes out there.

I would strongly suggest that if youre going to buy the "Simple Service" so you can control more than three devices, that you NOT purchase it through the in-app purchase thats available in this "Simple Control" app. I bought mine right through their website. Long story short the in-app purchase was messed up by apple and I requested a refund. I contacted the Simple Control support, WHICH IS TOP NOTCH (thanks WILL), and they suggested I try to purchase the Simple Service option from their online store. THIS WORKED LIKE A CHARM!

Nearly all new A/V products are supporting wireless network connections, which makes this App, with IP commands that much better. It will control my home theater by simply opening the App and selecting "Home Theater" and pressing the "ON" button. The Sharp AQUOS Q+ Smart TV, Marantz 5010 A/V receiver, and either Blu-Ray player, HD Cable or Apple TV 4th generation all turn on with that one press of a button. Ive configured it to select the video source with another "one button" select.

Now, I want to tell you that you will be required to spend some time setting this remote up for all your devices. It will control all of your devices on your wireless network through IP commands right away. For devices that use the IR remote controls (a little older equipment), you will need to purchase additional equipment such as IR "blasters/repeaters" AND a subscription to the "SIMPLE SERVICE" product offered as an In-App purchase.

I subscribed to the 20 device "simple service" for thirty bucks a year. So for the first year, this FULL functionality whole home controller cost me forty bucks.

A Logitech Harmony higher end remote is three hundred bucks, yet still lacks functionality and simplicity of the Simple Control app.

My comparison is like comparing the graceful appearance and simple to use architecture of an Apple computer, to that of a PC running Windows Vista. Simple Control is the Apple Mac product of Remote control. Logitech is the Windows Vista PC.
