About Octopus Universal IR Remote

Octopus Universal IR is a simple IR remote control app for Samsung Galaxy S4s that allows you to download and use IR remotes from an extensive online database. This app may or may not work for other Android devices with IR blasters. Please let me know if you give it a try on any other devices with built in IR transmitters.

• Custom buttons for remotes
- Tap on a unused, grayed out button to assign a remote code to that button.
- Press and hold an assigned button to reassign the button.
• Enter custom codes in either the ProntoHex or GlobalCache format.
• Access your saved remotes from the collapsible sidebar.
• Common buttons are automatically mapped to a simple user interface. Unmapped buttons will be grayed out.
• The "list all" button for each remote shows a list of all available buttons for the selected remote. Press any entry in this list to send its IR code.
• Delete saved remotes from "Manage Devices" menu option.
• Screen rotation enabled for devices with IR blasters on the side of the device.

Works like a charm! As long as your TV IR codes are listed or if you know the coded you're going to be fine. This app makes a great prancing tool. Just go into a room with your friends, take notice of the TV`s company name, and look up the codes. Have fun missing with your friends. Love this app.

Huge selection of devices in their database. Found codes for all my electronics. I just wish that we could program commands in the custom remote, but that's a lot to ask for. Great app!!

It use to work very well, however it no longer does. I updated my Galaxy 5 OS and it stopped working.

Using samsung S5. The was excellent until the android lollipop update. The app is not working now. The built in smart remote app by peel technologies is functional so the ir blaster is working fine.

This was the best way to control my tv after the remote was lost, and I could turn on projectors, most any device, with the right settings. But it doesn't work on lollipop.

Used this app for a little over a year now. Updated my note 4 to lollipop, and it just stopped working. Please fix this for us who have the newer version of android. I really wish to continue using this app.

Hopes there's a feature to backup my custom codes. Great app! Saved me some $$ from buying a new remote.

This remote doesn't suck like the default Samsung one. Its not complicated and once your device is setup it stays setup unlike other apps that I have to reprogram certain TVs all the time. I highly recommend this for anyone that has an IR blaster on their phone.

Update: no longer works on my phone, it crashes. Have reached out to dev, waiting to hear back. Original review: Works on my Mitsubishi and Polaroid tvs (had to remap a few buttons, but it's great we have that feature). Only thing I noticed, it turns brightness up, and it would be nice if it left the screen alone. Otherwise, if you have an IR device, this is the app for you ! !
