Very reliable, functional, configurable, yet easy to use. Robert (Developer) answered my questions in 1 day the three times I asked him anything. One of the best software purchases I have ever made. Sheesh ... sounds pretty sappy but being a bit of a geek I've tried 'em all and cant say enough about iRed and my irTrans Infra-Red Blaster. Great combination great tech support

If you love gadgets, toys and home automation, this app, along with the tranceiver, is amazingly useful and fun. I have it set up so that I can email my home and turn my air conditioner on, among other things. I do wish they had good integration with the Palm operating system. With iRed, EyeTV, Indigo, Automator, iListen, iTunes and Phone Valet my entire home it totally interactive. Another great aspect of iRed is that it is so easy to use. You can either create an awesome single remote pane, or you can use the more advanced features and create a level of interactivity with your home that you'd think you were in a Star Trek movie. The documentation is just html files and don't really grab your attention.

This review describes one practical application in the hope that it will inspire others to try & buy iRed, as I did.
I have 3 screens on my desk, one of which doubles as an AV monitor. But I don’t want to clutter my desk with remote controls for Satellite, DVD, VCR, CD and SCART switcher. Enter iRed - with a FileMaker front end.
Scanned images of my 5 remotes fill each of 5 layouts. Invisible buttons are placed of the images of the buttons, and run FileMaker scripts with AppleScript commands to operate iRed. A simple mouse click on a familiar-looking virtual remote control, and (via iRed and IRTrans) instant response!
But that’s not all. The FileMaker database has a 6th layout which is a list (with logos) of all the satellite channels. Click on a logo - change the channel. No more remembering channel numbers or drilling & scrolling through Sky channel menus.
Each layout has buttons to switch between remotes, and a button to toggle between life size and 50%, zooming the window appropriately. The FileMaker scripts couldn’t be simpler - they are all the same with just 2 identical steps. The name of each script is its function (eg PAUSE, MUTE, 7, 4 etc). One step sets a global field from the scriptname; the other runs a universal subscript which sends the command to iRed.
Go and have fun with iRed!
