iPhone App: DVPRemote

= 4 stars
![]()
Remote control app that lets your iPhone control a Netflix / Roku Box.
The Good
- The iPhone has to be on the same WiFi network as the Netflix / Roku Box, which is kind of a given if you’re at home in front of your television ready to watch a Watch Instantly flick. The app found our Netflix / Roku Box automatically on first launch.
The Bad
- The buttons don’t auto-repeat when held down, which would be useful in the case of scrolling through movie titles. So you have to tap the next button repeatedly to get to a movie you like.
Conclusion
Performs as advertised, and brings the iPhone one step closer to replacing my universal remote.
Thanks for the post. Despite all disadvantages, I still love my iPHone.
