[w/Silicone Cover] aarooGo [w/Home & Volume] Control for Apple TV 4K HD A2169 A1842 A1625 A1427 A1469 A1378 A1218 (Ivory)

This is a great "spare" remote for my Apple TV. It's a little bit on the large side, because it uses AAA batteries rather than more expensive button batteries, but that is fine with me. My Apple remote still works fine, but this one gives me a mute button and a better advance feature, so I grab it a lot. It works great.

Great deal great value

My Apple TV Remote died so I was on the hunt for some thing that would work with it. I settled on this because people said in the reviews that it was super easy to connect and I like the fact that it was white so it wasn’t gonna get lost in my bed. I literally didn’t have to do anything to connect it to my TV or Apple TV. It just worked when it arrived which was awesome. The buttons do make a bit noise when you click on them, but I think my biggest complaint is the fact that you can’t get to the Background app menu , which means you have to do a lot of backing out to get to anything that you wanna see. Aside from that it works well. It’s super responsive and lightweight and works. What more do you want? OK maybe to be able to access your apps running in the background

So our original Apple remote stopped being able to control volume when I had CEC on to automatically turn on and off the tv with the Apple Remote. I literally tried everything as well as contacted Apple but they were clueless. It was either control volume with the Apple Remote but not be able to turn off the tv or be able to turn the tv off and not be able to control volume. I just refused to have to use two remotes to control the tv!! I had melt downs trying to fix this and as a last ditch effort said what the hell and ordered this remote. I even have a sceptre tv which isn’t listed as compatible but bought it anyway and emailed their customer service to see how to program. I received an answer the same day and what do you know the remote works perfectly and took less than 1 minute to program. Buy this remote!!

Bought this for our AppleTV 4K. My husband and I use this one for the bedroom tv, where we often fall asleep with the tv on and the remote falls off to the side. It’s how we ended up stepping on the original and cracked the glass.So with this one broken, in our quest to be circles with eyelashes (as Ali Wong so gracefully put it) we used the app remote for a bit, but we both agreed it was utter garbage. It is the opposite of relaxing when using the remote app. In the quest for proper blobbage we decided to spend less in the case that we step on it again.As expected, it’s cheap-o plastic. It feels like a toy, is rather light and hollow, but it works. We don’t use the Siri option, so that’s not missed. I personally find how the button at the top flashes when you press other buttons a tad annoying, but you pay for what you get. Doesn’t bother my husband though, he blobs using this without any concern.I believe it’s supposed to work with other Apple TVs, but being that we’re a pair of extra sprouted spuds when we use this tv, we haven’t tested it in the living room. The living room is for being semi-people so we haven’t ventured that far with it. Until we lose the other original remote, I guess it’s Shroedinger’s cat.Worked with the Apple TV out of the box (batteries not included, takes two AAA, you’re not spending $60+ so adjust expectations accordingly!) then we synced it to our TV for power and volume control. Lists a lot of tv brands it can sync to - didn’t realize it would be a universal remote also. Nice. Sweet added bonus! We don’t even have to get up to look for the tv remote now! Thanks to this product, potatoes will continue to potate.

Worked instantly on my Apple TV HD A1625. No programming needed. To connect to my tv, it was just a 5 second hold on two buttons, then boom, connected. Couldn’t be simpler than that.

The media could not be loaded. Overall, I’m fairly satisfied with this remote in silicone cover. It’s much more comfortable to grip than the remote that comes with your Apple TV or even an aftermarket remote without a cover. Sometimes it glows though, and sometimes it doesn’t.

My 3-year-old is at the point where he really wants to do things himself, and now that extends to being able to start and stop the shows that he gets to watch. After watching him throw the rather expensive to replace Apple TV remote, I decided that maybe he needed something of his own that would be much cheaper to replace, if at all. This remote has done the trick. The buttons are responsive, the power button lights up when you press any button, and it's easy for his little fingers to use. This is an IR remote, not bluetooth or RF, so you do have to point it at the Apple TV, unlike with the bluetooth Apple TV remote.The remote also can control power on the Apple TV, but has to be programmed to control power and volume on your TV. This was a bonus feature for me, since I didn't want to give my child control over the TV volume anyway. The remote has buttons only, with no touchpad, but that was also a plus in my case.
