Honestly, this is almost a briliant product. Its well made and doesn't have a million buttons like most universal remotes. It has a lot of different compatible products, and macro functions for those it doesn't know. It even has a backlight, which is not very common these days. Unfortunately, the app which you are required to set the remote up with is terribly unreliable. I never managed to get all of the programmable buttons to work. I ended up returning the remote.

I have a BB gift card that I needed to use and I have been searching for a remote to improve on the remote that came along my new NVIDIA Shield Pro. Because of the reviews I initially overlooked this 7945 remote and that was a mistake. This remote is much more than a replacement remote for streaming devices. It is actually a fairly capable universal remote.
I agree with the reviews on two issues. The remote is sluggish to make a Bluetooth connection (it eventually does) and the available documation is really poor. The available specs for this remote don't come close to properly describing what this remote is capable of.
Once connected to your phone the app quides you through the setup. It makes sense and is surprisingly easy to use. It properly controls my LG OLED TV, DirecTV satellite receiver, NVIDIA Shield Pro, Roku Ultra and Sonos Soundbar. It allows you to easily set up activities (macros) that make it very simple to switch between sources.
If you are looking for a replacement or upgrade remote for streaming devices give this one a chance. Once you get past the slow connecting and poor documentation it is easy to program and offers many more features than it appears to offer.
It's no replacement for my Harmony remotes but I like this remote.

The instructions were useless
You then scan the QR code and it gives you directions to sync a remote that's not the one we bought. When I did finally get to sync the remote we need the old remote to move forward. If the old remote is dead why else would we need a new one. How does this step help or make any sense. So if you're in the market for a back up emergency remote be something goes wrong this is the product for you. Otherwise don't waste your time or money.

Dear Pete, thanks for sharing your experience of our URC 7945. We are sorry to hear that the setup did not work as intended. The app should of course give you the option to choose your remote model. Also, there should not be any need for your original remote as the setup works only through the app. We would be more than happy to assist you in the setup and answer all of your questions. You can contact us anytime via the following link: https://www.oneforall.com/en-us/webform or via our Facebook messenger. Best regards, Viktor, Your One For All team

I have used Logitech Harmony remotes and because of the app-guided setup, I assumed this would act similarly.
It's good if you are in my case, where I wanted one remote for my TV and Reciever, so the volume would control the receiver instead of the TV.
However, for more in-depth AV systems, I don't recommend this. As it's not as controllable as a Logitech Harmony.

First things first, you have to download an app to attempt to make this remote work. After $38 and 2 hours of messing with it, I finally gave up, went to target and got one for $15 and 15 minutes later everything is working as it should. With this One for All Remote, one thing is fixed and another falls apart. I got most things working but no way to turn the tv set off. Got the tv to turn on and off and other things would not work. A tv and a dvd player should not be this difficult.

Advertise that it would operate my fire stick, and TV both. Very disappointing, I could not turn the TV on with the remote, but it would turn it off and the home button would not function properly for the fire stick.

I don't have cable or satellite so most of my viewing is done streaming on UtubeTV. Overall this is a good remote for streaming. I hate the Samsung remote that came with my TV and this one is much easier to use. Also controls my DVD player.

I have purchased a few other options online that have worked - "Universal" Remotes that have been successfull. For some reason, my daughters FireTV is really hard to find a good match for. The remote it came with was going through batteries so quickly and then disconnecting. This is my third try to find a remote and it works perfectly! It stays connected and my daughter can now control her FireTV

I bought this to control a 250 HD cable box from Cox. It is a pretty standard receiver in our area. I also wanted to control an LG TV. It picked up the TV just fine and works with it, but it does not consistently work with the Cox cable box. In particular, keys that you would expect to bring up the menu or other functions, do not do that function. I tried contacting support, but never heard back. Disappointing product. Wish I could still return it.

I love the features, if only they worked.
The TV power seems to be very hit or miss if it works. If I use the top right red to turn it all off, that works. But more often than not, cannot turn on the TV with this remote.
The 3 buttons I have programmed for Youtube, Netflix and Amazon Prime. I would have preferred Vudu as an option but it was not.
Again, more often than not, they do not work either. I have been trying to get it to work, then realized I was past the return deadline.
The remote (if it worked) would be great. I do wish it had a button for Apple TV, Hulu and others, but then it would just be bigger.
If it worked, this would be a top notch remote.
