    Easy to use and to Learn how to use but how do you make it so that the volume goes up or down more than one digit?

    Comes unpaired with my logitech revue pretty frequently. The only way to get it to pair back up is clearing the app's data.

    This app opens the playstore to the "Locale" app and that's it. Obviously a major problem. Uninstalling.

    Perfect execution. No bugs encountered yet. I've been waiting for this ever since I bought my Sony Internet TV.
