Customer Reviews & Ratings for Apple Remote

Good Lord why is this thing so small? Clearly whoever designed it does not have small children!!!! Countless times this thing has been lost!!! Even without kids why so small? Make it big!!! Make it visible!!! Make it easier to use!!! We don't care about how "cool" you think it looks!!! It's impractical and ridiculous!!!! Listen to the people!!!

althouigh it looks very good this remore is hard to use if you have big hands and it is so small it is extremely easy to loose specialy idf you have kids that love to hide stuff in their special spot that changes. I just wish there was an app for my phone (not an Iphone) it would make it easier

I just set up are new Apple TV worst remote I have ever used. I’ am so disscused with the whole thing when you want to watch tv you don’t want to navagate thru everything you do.
If Steve was around you would see heads rolls
If Apple can not do better than this GET OUT OF THE TV BUSNESS

Very disappointed in Apple I have too give it one star because it will not let me give it a 0 plus

The Apple TV remote is arguably the worst piece of hardware Apple has ever created. It is virtually impossible to fast-forward or rewind media in anything other than a clunky, slow manner. Responsiveness to commands is totally inconsistent and often the remote fails to work at all. The overall user experience is non-intuitive and frustrating. This half-baked device would never have been so prematurely released if Jobs were still around.

From the start, the directional ring functioned inconsistently. After 15 months of intermittent use, both the direction and menu buttons have failed completely. It seems the warranty may be the most highly refined design aspect of this device.

I have a 2nd and a 3rd generation AppleTV and I hate both of the remotes. This remote gets lost all the time. I’ve lost two of them in the house and can’t find one of them. I just had to order another one, because I threw back the covers on my bed and it flew somewhere. Now, can’t find it. They should make it so that you can locate it with an app or something. Geez!

I do think it would be nice if Apple included an extra remote for backup; like others, i have had to go hunting for mine a number of times (and haven't been able to get the app to work).

I like the sleek design and simplicity.
What i don't llke: the left arrow is really a rewind; the 'MENU' is more of a back button.
I would like a real MENU, for, say, turning subtitles off and on. i can never remember how to do it.
Other than that, perfection.

It would seem Apple is very embarrassed by the reviews of the Apple TV "Touch" remote.

Every time I hit "PREVIEW" it responds with, "Some words in your review cannot be published. Please revise your review."

I have tried 7 times to post my review with no luck. This remote design is sooo bad maybe AppleCupertino also needs a ‘kink room’. So they can beat the guy who designed this useless "touch" remote

The "touch" Apple remote is actually the spawn of evil!!!! I have never seen such a disfunctional piece of garbage in all of my life. I am more than certain that Steve Jobs is rolling over in his grave over this colossal embarrassment to his company!!!! I am sure that if Steve were with us now, a lot of people would be fired over the design and lack of functionality of this product. Using this remote makes me so angry that I swear like trucker every single time I use it!!!! For the love of God and humanity....PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE fix this thing before total anarchy breaks out!!!!!! I gave it one star only because I feel sorry for Steve that he could not be here to ensure that the public receives quality Apple products.

Things I hate about the Apple remote:

1) you can turn your tv off with it but you can’t turn on the tv. Therefore I always have two remotes.
2) my tv faces my bed and the remote is sooo small and sensitive it falls into the crevices of either me my dogs or boyfriend. Because it’s so sensitive inevitably someone starts to rewind or fast forward. But we can’t find the tiny thing but it’s slide under someone. We always scramble to find it but it takes a good 10 minutes to search for.
3) you breath on it and it hits a key

APPLE PLEASE YOU DONT HAVE TO MAKE A SLICK REMOTE.
