I have an Apply TV 4k. The Original Apple Remote stopped working after a system update. I purchased this compatible remote to replace it. It worked. No issues. Note: The Unlock button does not work for Apple 4K and is not needed to use this remote. Remote requires 2 AAA batteries. Once batteries were in, remote worked automatically. No Learn Remote required. Easy. Only thing noted was that the On/Off/Power button only turned my Sony TV On & Off ( it did not turn on the Apple 4K receiver box). The Menu button on the remote turned on my Sony TV and the Apple 4K receiver box. So, to turn on my Sony TV and Apple Receiver box, we use the Menu button and to turn off the TV and Apple Receiver box, we use the On/Off (Power button on remote). Other than that, it works great! Cheap Alternative for an Apple TV remote!

The Apple Remote for Apple HD TV stopped working. A new one was $99. This remote had over 8,000 reviews, and a customer rating of around 4.5 so I figured that even if there are fake/paid reviews, somewhere in there lots of people like the remote. Plus, as a bonus, it was inexpensive. We love this remote. We actually hate Apple’s sliding, flat, multiple function push thing that never works correctly (goes too far L or R, fast forward is wonky, all that typical unreliable Apple weird design stuff). So the click (no noise) button almost made me cry with joy. Plus other functions that Apple doesn’t provide or maybe they are like “double secret probation” options I’ve never been able to figure out. It was pre-paired to the Samsung TV & Apple unit, and I am really enjoying its ease of use and common sense functions. This isn’t a criticism, but I didn’t think to see if it is rechargeable, vs. the 2 AAA required batteries. Not a biggie. The instructions were very user friendly, but somewhat sparse. I sometimes get a pop up on the screen about an HDMI connection (my Denon receiver) and I need to figure out if it can be controlled by this remote. There is nothing to indicate where I can find “Help” online. Still, a great remote at a fabulous price. I plan to buy two more.

After seeing the high number of positive reviews I figured I’d take a chance and was glad I did. This remote works great, no pairing needed- worked right away and also controls my Samsung tv. I really didn’t want to spend $100 on an Apple TV remote. This remote does everything needed and no issues with it. Highly recommend it as a replacement to the Apple TV remote.

Works perfectly after our Apple TV remote randomly stopped working one day! Great value for $10 vs. the price of a new Apple Remote

I bought this because my Apple TV remote broke so I needed something to replace it. I wish I would have bought this years ago! It’s way easier to use than the Apple Remote and INSTANTLY connects. It blew my mind how well it worked for being so cheap.

My kids damaged the OEM remote and I had to purchase one. When I browsed, I immediately found this one and placed an order. This one is fantastic. It's like an all-in-one. I don't even have to use my TV remote. I hope this lasts long. I will come back and update my review if something happens within a year. After one year, I probably won't update my reviews given its price. I'll just tell myself "you get what you paid for".

Worked well for little more than 2 years and the main center button didn't work. So bought another one hoping it to last for another 2 years, but it hardly lasted for 2 weeks. Couldn't return as we missed the return timeline. Bought another one and its working perfectly. So unless you don't get a defective item , this is a good remote to buy, worth the cost.
