I should have lost my Apple Remote earlier!!! This one is better than the original! I was almost upset it didn't come with instructions... but then I thought maybe it's so simple there doesn't need to be any... I laughed to myself, reallt feeing like maybe I just bought a piece of junk... but I aimed it at my tv and hit the power button. I almost fell out of my chair when it turned on. So simple and so much nicer feeling in your hand than the Apple remote was.I truly hated the mouse pad like feature of the Apple Remote, it was so overly sensitive. This one is so much better!!! Perfect!!!

It just works out of the box. The one odd thing is there is no way to turn the Apple TV off. There is a TV on/off button. And you can wake the Apple TV with the menu button. But no way to put back in sleep mode. I have the set Apple TV to auto sleep after 15 minutes, which works. Or you could select sleep mode in the menus (a pain). A minor oddity. But for the price and what it does, if you need a new remote for your Apple TV, gotta give this one 5 stars.

I received this remote yesterday (7/9/23), which promises compatibility with AppleTV. I'm returning it today (7/10); read on to find out why.On Apple's original remote, two buttons seem like they may do the same thing, but they don't. The attached image of the two buttons from the Apple remote shows the back button on the left (<), which takes you back to the last screen you were on. You can keep pressing it to go all the way back until you trigger the screen saver. The button on the right is unique to Apple TV in that it reveals a control panel that slides out from the right side of the TV screen to let you control several different important features:1. At the top, you can select between different user profiles. For example, we have three profiles: one for shows my wife and I like to watch together, one for shows I like but my wife doesn't, and a guest profile for people who may be house-sitting while we're away on vacation. The + button lets you create new user profiles as needed.2. You can quickly get to the search screen at the bottom right.3. At the middle bottom, you can select the sound output. For instance, you can send the AppleTV sound to your HomePods, your AirPods, or to your TV's sound output.4. At the bottom left, there's the HomeKit button, which lets you check home automation events like someone ringing your video doorbell to deliver your pizza for movie night.NONE of this is possible using the "New Universal Replacement Remote Fit for Apple TV."Worst of all, I tried using the "Learn Remote" feature in the AppleTV settings, and all it could learn from the remote was the up-arrow. Every other button I tried to add showed the message, "that button is already in use."If the manufacturer wants to make this remote truly compatible with AppleTV, then they must leave the back arrow (<) as it is and figure out a way to make the "MENU" button work like the TV screen button on Apple's remote. Otherwise, this remote is basically useless.

Bought this as a replacement for my Apple TV remote and I can honestly say I like it. I thought I wasn’t going cause of the price but I love how light it is and I like how the buttons feel. The only down side which is not a big deal at all is when I hit the volume buttons - when I use the volume buttons, on my tv screen it always says “not available” but the volume still can go up or down. Overall, it’s a great replacement for Apple TVs

Sets itself up! Seriously. I’m surprised it didn’t get out of the delivery box on its own… great replacement and reasonably priced

There’s no way to designate which Apple TV it controls so since we have 3 Apple tv’s it sometimes controls multiple Apple tv’s at the same time when you don’t want it to. This leads to one of our Apple tv’s to being controlled while watching a different Apple TV, even when the television is off because it’s an older television that doesn’t automatically turn on when Apple TV activates. Dangerous combination because this leads to unknown purchases, setting changes, etc. since the tv is off but the Apple TV is on and being randomly controlled by this remote.

I like that can work on my tv as well.

Opened package, inserted batteries, worked like a charm on my Sony TV with Apple TV. Alternative options 5 times the price.
