Comments on MyAV Universal Remote Control for Android
★★★★★Albert Mojica, Jr.· Aug 9, 2025
Easy to use. Connects to the Sony Blu-ray Streaming DLNA Player quickly (reason for purchase *no funded app necessary) illuminates and doesn't get misplaced (original remote works fine but is quite small) Reliable connections too.
★★★★★Skyla Kennett· Jul 16, 2019
Great app works a treat with my tv. I keep losing the remote so provided I don't lose my phone aswell I'm all good.
★★★★★Lesley Matthew· Jul 26, 2023
This is by far the best app for a universal remote. I can control my Sky worth smart tv, Playstation 3 and my Sony AV receiver all from my phone. Thanks for this Amazing app
★★★★★Joe Bananas· Feb 24, 2024
Setup not required. It connected to my onkyo amp straight away and didn't require and config or searching for amp. Amazing. I've been using for 3 weeks mainly to control outdoor Speaker on zone 2 & 3 and this app hasn't let me down yet. User interface is fugly but works well enough.

Could not find any of my older radios/ receivers it seems to struggle with older equipment and the infrared scanner does not work
★☆☆☆☆Alex Medinski· Apr 9, 2023

To anyone who is reading this: Do not download anything by the so-called company "Pocket wood"!!! My attorney is diligently going through their Licensing agreement, and she thinks that this company/developer is a scam. If she finds what she is searching for, she feels that we have enough grounds to start a civil suit against them. I will be posting on here to keep everyone updated. Thanks

Tried the free trial as my son destroys remotes. Paid for a years' subscription, but it stopped working a day after. Sent an email but got nothing back. It's a shame as when the app was working it was ideal. Very disappointed
★☆☆☆☆It's a Noice Neil Diaz:D· Mar 4, 2020
It is a scam... I rather buy another blue ray than paying $8.99 a year to use this app to control my blue ray. In my opinion this app is only worth $1 or $2 in total. I would rate this app to a negative 5 stars if I could.
