Works great as a replacement for lost remote

Must have lost my thin Apple remote a million times. This took care of it with no problem. I always know where my phone is so I dont even bother looking for the old remote.

It does not work

I want to do it for free and I do not know what too do!!!!

Best feature

Convinient easy to set up and good back up if you ever loose your apple tvs remote.

Its good.

So far this app is great. Easy to use on the iPhone and the Apple Watch design is sleek and useful. Give it a try!

Doing this for free app

Requests you write a review instead of paying for pairing a device

Its good

Best Apple TV remote

Cool!

Works great. Apple TV Remote doesnt always reach so it isnt very convenient. This app lets me use the remote and the gestures allows me to use it without looking. Love it!

Free & Great

I never expected a free app to be so efficient!! Greatly recommend!!

Great!

Cider is great. Lost my apple remote half a year ago and havent looked back. Extremely easy to use, I recommend it.

App Stopped Working...

Well I loved it until it stopped working. I have a single AppleTV and the app was listed as free for single AppleTV. Why was the free app pulled?

Works as a workaround when remote is lost or broken

I accidentally placed my ATV3 remote in a partially water filled tumbler. I downloaded this app, paired it with my ATV with a second remote that has a broken left direction. The app works great over wifi. I was able to navigate the menus and resume normal use.

Great

I have Apple TV 4 and it work perfectly. Love the Notification Center widget feature!

Apl tv remote!?!

Oh its way more than that let me come on were free the pro version goes for nine dollars and you have to pay every month I mean come on its got a built-in keyboard I hate the remote without the keyboard Im going to throw my Apple TV remote way and just use this app. Keyboard thats right fives does for a keyboard you know what I mean frustrate Chin go along when you cant get your pin right or your password for your email or whatever it is with Apple

Finally!

Paired instantly with my Apple TV and picked up my BRAVIA TV without any pairing - works great. wasn’t instantly clear how to control Apple TV with gestures, but after 2 minutes picked up fast. Not that “Back/Menu” function here is double tap

That`s a bomb!

For me this app is definetely more user friendly than native Remote app ^_^ And not so sensitive - very easy to navigate - now I can select the menu item I want at 1st attempt =) Also it even allows to control my AppleTV volume right from iPhone. Weehoo I was looking for such kind of app for a long time. Get my 5 stars! Good start!

Stuck up with set up

This app works fine, but the setup is not user-friendly. One should have a lot of patience to connect AppleTV to your app. Only after nearly 3 attempts I guessed that I shouldn`t press "Cancel" on the pop-up screen although it was the only button on it. Guys it is not obvious that this step is necessary! Purhaps if you will rename the button to "Not now" or "Later" or/and at least add an alert that I need to perform the step first to start using the app, you`ll get more stars. Cheers!

Really bad

I got it to use with my Apple TV, but it never worked! I would try to open it and it would just shut down on its own...

Read before purchase

I will like to say: I just got this app yesterday and some difficultys happened with me clicking the TV it did take a little while to find my Apple TV but when It did it was so easy and useful you could swipe pause and you can change the volume but that requires finding a TV and I personally didnt care to do to be honest so if you want to do that do it for yourself I dont believe there is a way for turning the Apple TV on which kinda gave me a doubt only because if I lose the real remote I wont be able to turn it on. So I would need to get the Apple TV anyways for that reason and thats partially why I didnt want to get this app. But it does work really good for lazy people!!! So if your a couch potatoe and on ur phone 24/7 this is the app for you!!

Non-functional

While the app was able to detect my Apple TV, it was unable to pair despite following the directions. Restarting the devices doesnt appear to make a difference either. Bummer.

Perfect!

This app worked perfectly. After it synced with my Apple TV I was able to control it easily. Love it!
