Missing the most important function
The developers did a pretty decent job with this app, however it absolutely should have included a function to find the remote for remotes equipped with this feature. Honestly, if I could find my remote, my phone could be back on the charger.

Doesn’t work
This app used to work, not perfectly, but good enough. but it stopped working and won’t connect. no amount of troubleshooting has helped. Waste of time.
