Love this!!! Got it for my 85yr old father in-law because it was a huge daily struggle and phone call/visit to come and help him with his old remote. This remote has been a SAVIOR!!

I LOVE this remote!! My parents have dementia and this is sooo easy to use. The regular remotes look like the control dash of an airplane. This one has only a few buttons and they're able to use it. I can't thank this company enough!I will add one bit of advice. Take a photo of the remote so if you DO get a call asking for help, you can advise your loved one to press the green button, or the blue button etc. It's just so easy to use and so wonderful!

Wonderful product and amazing customer service. I tried to limit the channels for my mother and I was struggling with her TV. Customer service helped me with the process and responded to my questions very quickly. It was fixed in no time and now she doesn't have to scroll through 90 channels to find the one that she is looking for. The remote is easy to set up and very easy to use. She is very happy. Thank you

Easy set up also.

Perfect for elders

if you have a senior that just can't work a remote, this is the fix. Easy to program and easy to use, your senior won't inadvertantly change to a channel accidently and with on/off, volume big buttons, it's a perfect item

Bought this for my aging parents who grew increasing unhappy and unable to properly operate their satellite tv system remote. With this remote they can easily see and operate the on/off, volume and channel or - buttons and this is all they really used anyway. This has eliminated many emergency trips because their TV wasn't working! TIP: You'll definitely want to set-up a favorites list of just the handful of channels they actually watch either through the tv system (easiest) or on the remote.

The Flipper remote is life changing for my 87 year old mother who has macular degeneration. She can watch TV by sitting very close to a large screen. However, she cannot see well enough to use traditional remotes. Until we got the Flipper, she watched only one channel out of fear she would inadvertently mess up her TV settings with the remote. Now, with the Flipper, she can easily adjust the TV volume and navigate to all her favorite channels. The set-up instructions are accurate and clear, but it does take time to do. I recommend you first make a list of your favorite channels and also write down the codes for your television and cable box. We ran into a serious problem with set-up because Mom lives in an assisted living facility that has a commercial contract with Directv. Tech support for Directv told me their service could not be used with a universal remote like Flipper. I reached out to tech support at Flipper. Within the hour, they responded with a solution that allowed us to pair the Flipper remote without any trouble. The Flipper makes the world so much bigger for Mom. The product is great. The customer service is amazing!

An elderly relative was finding it difficult to use the regular remote. This one works perfectly for her.

I got this for my mom, because the universal remote was too complicated for her (or anyone really, if we admit it!).Quick notes:(1) When reading the configuration instructions, slide open the face plate to see all the controls and the instructions suddenly make a lot more sense. I'm not sure if they didn't say that or I didn't notice, but be sure to do that. :-)(2) I had to manually set the codes for our older Sony TV and Set Top Box (STB) and then the volume and channels (respectively) worked perfectly.(3) We have a sound bar, but as long as it was left ON and the TV was configured to use that as it's sound output, it continued to function perfectly.(4) They say this in the instructions, but if you have programmed the remote to cycle through favorite channels, be sure to train anyone using this to be patient when changing channels. If you mash the button it doesn't have time to send all the channel numbers and your results may be unexpected (as in, you'll land on channel 11, instead of on channel 1132).(5) I recommend following the instructions and make a list of your favorite channels before you start entering them because it will enter duplicates, which lead to a sub-optimal experience. They were easy enough to delete, but having the list up front is a great tip.(6) If you get the favorites messed up you can reset back to default settings, but if you do that you DO have to reconfig the TV and STB again. But I found it to be the fastest way of starting over with the favorites rather than deleting them one by one.Overall, I love this thing. I can slide down the cover and enter any channel I want to jump to, but otherwise, it will just cycle through our favorites, including premium channels and music channels and it means Mom can channel surf through her favorites without help from anyone.

My mom moved into an assisted living facility and the Directv remote buttons were way too small for her fingers. So I found this remote and easily programmed her tv and STB. Works great and now she can easily change channels. Even easy to program her favorite channels. She loves it!

Great for seniors! Only 5 large buttons to deal with.

Alzheimers patient who has the TV on 24/7. This remote is ideal, but she manages to confuse the volume and channel buttons anyway and now uses both this and the old remote, thereby defeating the purpose. But that's not this remote's fault. It's easy to use and since the other buttons are hidden- it should help.Suggestions: 1. Make it light up. At nighttime- the only light she wants is from the TV, which makes it difficult for her to see which button to use. 2. Bigger bolder font. Eldery have difficutly seeing some print, making it easier for them to hit the wrong button.

Got this Flipper Big button for my elderly Mom who has limited mobility and she depends on it because she LOVES her TV and panics without it. The Flipper was easy to set up with first two TVs but we ran into issues with a new Smart TV this week. Flipper’s phenomenal and patient tech support helped me get it working in 5 minutes. My Mom was so happy to have her remote and TV back and I was so happy she was happy!! My Mom and I highly recommend Flipper to everyone that needs a simple easy to use TV remote.

Purchase this for my mother who has Parkinson's and dementia. The Direct TV remote was very confusing for her and she would constantly record shows accidentally, get into the sub-screens and other things. Having a remote that her most watched channels can be easily programmed into is great. The remote was extremely easy to set up and program. I'm very happy with this product.

It is perfect for my mom to control and know there are only buttons she needs to use showing. All other remotes show all the small set up buttons that would confuse her

Has helped my mom be able to use the TV control again. Color especially great on the white remote! Thank you!

My Mother-in-law, has dementia and was unable to work the remote supplied by Direct TV. We tried a couple of other Universal remotes and she still had trouble working them. My wife found the Flipper and it's the only remote that's easy for her to work. We setup specific favorites and bypassed all the shopping channels to make it easier for Mom. It synced up easily with her Samsung TV and the DirecTV set top box. My Mother-in-law can finally change channels and TV volume easily.

I have a family member with dementia. The remote that comes with the satellite just has to many buttons. We spent so much time trying to figure out what was done. How to get the channels back to where they needed to be. All the buttons were there for pushing.This remote had all the buttons locked away. She just has access to volume and channels, on and off. Much simpler to operate.Would buy again.

Not only is the Flipper exactly what I have been looking for to help my 90 year old Mom, but customer service was above and beyond ANYTHING I've experienced. Set up of the remote was easy and straight forward, but Mom's smart TV was still requiring a choice when the Flipper turned both the cable box and the TV on. I called the customer support number on a Sunday morning and as expected, they were closed and I was directed to the website for chat assistance. No problem.....Mom would just have to wait until Monday to be up and running when I'd call again. I fiddled around a bit more when I received a call from a California number, and thinking it was spam, ignored it. BUT...there was a message left. Dan from FLIPPER was offering help on SUNDAY! Dan guided me in this last step, and when we hit a roadblock, he said he would do some research and get back to me. Within an hour, Dan solved the problem and Mom's Flipper was in perfect control of the TV/Cable Box. ALL OF THIS ON A SUNDAY MORNING ...UNBELIEVABLE!! Thank you, Dan, and the great folks at Flipper for helping senior children help their more senior parents. Truly appreciated.
