Does not work at all
I downloaded the Lite version of this app and it worked. Unfortunately, it only allows control of one DTv box at a time. I downloaded this app to control multiple DTv boxes, and this app does not scan the network successfully. I tried to manually add the addresses and although it seems to connect (no errors), no remote appears. I went to app settings to select “allow manual”, and that makes the “manual” tab disappear entirely!! I will rewrite a review if the problems are fixed.

New version needs old remote option
It works but I miss the option to flip the phone in a 16x9 display and the remote would flip with it giving you more techy look. I’d prefer the tech look than the “DUMB” genie remote look.

Frustrating
I’ve had this app, off and on, for a few years now, in the beginning it worked great! Found all of my DirecTv boxes then there was an Apple update, think it was the iOs11 or ?? and it stopped working completely, so I deleted it and after a few months, guess they fixed the issue and again, worked great, seamlessly. BUT here we are again, another Apple update, what are we on now iOs 14?? But again, app stopped connecting and can’t find ANY receivers no matter how many times I delete and reinstall or try to manually connect, still says I’m not on “network” but clearly I am. Gonna delete and hope

Big Step Backwards
Used to work fabulous with only hardcoded ip addresses. Now it is terrible. Discovery doesn’t usually work. App forgets my hardcoded ip addresses. If the system is off and I try to add back a hard coded address, it doesn’t work. Because of all this, the app is worthless unless the directv Box is already turned on. This was a great alternative to DirecTV’s uselessly bloated app. Please put it back the way it was!

More Bugs Than A Jungle Swamp
Version 5.0 is a bug’s paradise. It may or may not work on any given day. Don’t be fooled into thinking that if the free version works then this paid version will work. While the free version has limited functionality, at least it actually works. This paid version is at best a crap shoot not worth the gamble. It may accept manual entry of a reciever’s IP address when auto-discovery doesn’t work, however it usually fails to retain the address. The app’s HELP menu is currently a blank page that doesn’t even provide an email address to contact the developer to report issues. How convenient! Re

Update is flawed
Had used the previous version for over 5 years and worked flawlessly (over multiple networks in different locations). Now, when it actually connects to receivers it works great. If you manually enter ip addresses it will forget them (aggravating to have to enter all ip addresses every time I open the app) especially if you leave the network and get on another network (work vs home). It never “discovers” more than a couple of receivers, most of the time only one. I keep waiting for a fix because I used to love this app!

No longer works - wait it works, manual setup makes it work again
App worked flawlessly. The latest updates makes it useless. 3 Directv receivers in my house, all online. The app on my iPhone discovers 0. The app on my iPad Pro finds 1 and the remote has now been changed to resemble nothing close to my DirectV remote Thanks for the updates]. You should have left it alone. Useless now. Update: Never could find the settings link. Finally read a review. Go into your Settings> Find the app and select ‘allow manual setup’. Now set up your Directv receivers. Great. It works again.

New version (5) is not functional, usable, nor reliable
Waste of time to down this version (5) of this program until they fix it. Old version worked great. Used it all the time without much fail. This version try’s to do it all you but fails miserably. Takes forever to find my units and when it finds them. It does not save them. Sometimes, I have to go and turn unit on for it to find it. Manual adding unit works, unless you close the app, then you have to manually add the back. What is the logic in this. I understand that there are people that my have a clue about what an IP address is, but to ruin a program that worked fine. I don’t g

Horrible!!! Do NOT upgrade!!
This was with out a doubt one of the most used apps on my phone. Since the upgrade it is the least used app on my phone. I, like many others, was use to the actual remote layout on the app, now I have no idea what their trying to do. The button configuration is completely different, features on the old app have been removed. They took a perfectly good app and SCREWED IT UP! way to go! Someone should be fired for this mistake!

Latest Update Killed a Great App
I’ve used this app for years and highly recommended. The latest update works well once it “discovers” your receivers but often struggles to find them, frequently never discovering. Also has to rediscover receivers if app is closed and reopened. Highly prefer app when it remembered the receiver IP addresses. I use FING to find those addresses.

Broken in latest update
This app used to work flawlessly, instantly connecting to my online DTV receivers. Now the app never finds my receiver upon opening. It seems to find them after 3 or 4 “refreshes,” but this is a marked and unwelcome change from the prior version. Yes it now looks like the newest generation of DTV remote, but, honestly, who cares? Function trumps form every time and the app no longer works nearly as well as prior versions. I can not recommend it until functionality is restored.

Great before the 5.0 update
The app used to work great. If you had an old version, DON’T update it. The app now keeps deleting the receivers i manually add and doesn’t discover all of my receivers automatically leaving some receivers not on the list and making changing the channel very time consuming.

New version doesn’t work for me
Worked just fine before the new version. I had the IP addresses of the receivers on my network set to static so I never had any problem. The new version will not find my receivers 99% of the time and it won’t remember them for next time when it does manage to find them. I used to use it on a regular basis, but now it is worthless. Update: I just discovered you can go into the settings in the settings app and enable manual configuration. Now I can enter my IP address and use the app.

Great before the 5.0 update
I am a commercial AV installer and have downloaded this app over a hundred times at different locations. It is ideal when you have multiple receivers in a rack for a switcher system or want to control multiple receivers in a venue from one central location. The key is to connect the receivers to your network with Ethernet cables or a deca unit via coax, and make sure your iPhone/iPad is on the same network WiFi. I also suggest that you assign static IP addresses to your receivers by going to advanced IP settings and typing over the receivers last IP address digits (with the same or new digits)

App works great
This app works great I knock off one star because no volume control , the say they can't put it in the app but I downloaded the Samsung Remote TV app from the app store and that app does volume control by the Tv IP addresses so it can be done. It's possible. Otherwise the app is great!!

Works great even without remote
Some reviews seem to think you can't use this without a remote bc you need to get the IP address of your receiver to set it up. You can easily look at your router for a list of IPs connected to it. Just go down the list. I tried the first 2. 3rd time was a charm. Simple setup. Was exactly what I needed to watch DirecTV without my remote.

Pointless
The reason that most people will spend $0.99 on this app is because they can’t find their remote so buying it is the only alternative. The problem is that you need to have your other remote on hand in order to even use the virtual remote, so it begs the question of what the point of the app even is.

DirectVR okay but missing what should be an obvious feature
That being it doesn't remember which recurved you last selected. If one leaves the app having previously selected a secondary recurved receivever and then go back to the app? You have to re-select the receiver you had previously selected again. What a pain. Other than that, works as advertised.

Hangs!
Current version is hanging my Genie-mini when I go into setup and try to change anything. Works fine on my Genie but has this issue on the mini. I am able to use Exit on the real remote to clear this. Please fix.

It works!
My DirecTV remote has been acting up as of late, and, out of frustration, I checked out the App Store, and came across the Lite version of this App. A few steps later, I'm buying the full version, and it works great!
