Universal TV Remote-ZaZa Remot

Tucker Willenborg

This was once an absolutely wonderful TV remote - the only good one I ever found (still is a rare working one), and one that saved quite a bit of money on replacement remotes. Over the past two years or so, however, I've watched it be renamed (bought out?), adopt substantially more aggressive ads, and in general, rapidly deteriorate in quality. I suspect this is a causality of the decline of IR, but it is quite disappointing - two years ago, this was probably the most useful app on my phone.

Lots of codes, it found my devices easily. Remote works well with external ir blaster. When you try to customize the remote it does not save the changes and reverts back to the default, which is really annoying because it keeps the non functioning buttons on the screen. Code capture is a cool feature but there needs to be a "custom remote section" that let's you build one from scratch instead of using a preloaded template. And please please please add a feature to edit the names of the buttons.

The app is getting better, but the big problem is it will not properly save the remote configuration to either local or the cloud. Every time I exit the app I have to start over. This bug was supposed to be fixed in the 2.27.19 version, but it is still present. However, the developers are very responsive to email, that earns 4 stars.

Works perfectly! Just plug in the IR blaster. So far, I have it connected to my Insignia TV and Xfinity cable box. All of the functions on the ZaZa app work great... Channel, volume, power, TV input, menu, etc. This is the app/product every spouse needs so they don't need to ask their significant other for the remote to turn the volume up or down constantly. Since no new cellphones offer an IR blaster available anymore, this is the product to use. Literally every option at your fingertips!

After I manually entered the brand and model of the tv (and watched the video in order to get the remote code😒) everything seemed to be going okay as my phone screen changed to a remote. Thats as far as the proper functioning went. If I hit ANY of the buttons on the screen to control the television, the app crashes, and nothing happens on the television.

Does not close permanently, may make phone unstable. I use Greenify, and it won't even close it permanently without an early development Island app. Likely means it's doing shady things like gathering your info for selling. Worked with my phone's built-in IR port, then mysteriously stopped almost immediately, and refuses to work without an adaptor. It doesn't work without internet access, very inefficient! I should be able to use it in airplane mode and save my battery! Uninstalled.
