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!

This remote has helped out a lot when it comes to dealing with my elderly mom. She always got confused using two remote. I would recommend this for anybody who is struggling with an older person who does not understand technology. I would have gave five stars but the reason I didn't is because it's not a quick acting remote. But the customer support was fantastic.

Although the Flipper big button remote is not perfect, I really am very hopeful that this will solve the problems my husband has had while trying to use the regular DIRECTV remote. I have to credit the tech-support from Dan. I had gotten so frustrated trying to get the sound bar to work and to get the cable box and TV to both go on. The frustration really truly would have totally interfered with my being able to set this remote up. Thank goodness for good tech-support. I am really hopeful that this new big button remote will relieve a lot of stress for my husband and subsequently for me. 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.

Let me start by saying all my aging parent has is a TV and a Motorola cable top box.The BIG BIG feature with this remote is that you can program it to strictly turn off the TV and not the cable box. Every other remote I tried would turn off the cable box and it went down hill from there.This was a game changer for me. My 92 year old mother who is going blind and has severe memory problems was constantly calling me because her TV(s) didn't work. She couldn't turn them on, worse she couldn't turn them off. I would have to go to her care center 2-3 times per week to set everything back to usable. She was constantly filling up her DVR with random shoes. Tried everything including high end programable remotes. I bought 2 of these and no more calls. There isn't anything she do to change TV settings.

If you have an elderly person who struggles to control their tv with a normal remote, this is the one. It is a bit complicated to program at first. Once you get it sync to your tv, it's a breeze to use. I made sure to tape the battery compartment and front of the remote to eliminate opening and revealing un-needed buttons.

This simple remote has been so helpful for my husband who has dementia and has been unable to use a TV remote for several years now. The number of channels we have with Dish Network satellite is mind-boggling for him. Now he has his favorite 10 channels to choose from that are programmed into his remote. And when I have to leave him alone for a couple of hours he has the option of watching television. It gives him some independence and he loves it.From the reviews, I assumed I would probably have to get tech support involved to set the remote up for our Sony TV with the Dish Network Joey. Fortunately, I did not have to do so. I have a tech savvy son who was able to figure it out after about a half hour. Apparently, once the code for the TV is put in, you have to switch to the IR setting for the remote. That means little to me, but the Flipper won't work without doing so. The regular remote works as well, so you're not limited to the Flipper. That one needs to be switched to IR also.

Didn't come with batteries but was easy to setup and seems to be working fine.

My 98 year old mother would press the wrong button on the remote provided by the cable company and it would be all down hill from there. More often than not, she would have changed the input so the only thing on the screen was a message saying No Signal. She would then pull out every wire and cable from the back of the tv. This went on at least twice a week. With the FLIPPER, those days are done. There are 6 buttons, none of which change the input. If the mute button gets pushed, the tv can be unmuted either by pushing the mute button again or a volume button. I initially had trouble programing the FLIPPER to run her off-brand tv but Customer Service walked me through the learning process over the phone and it worked like a charm. You have to submit a written customer service request but they get back with you very quickly and will provide you with a phone number if needed. I can't say enough about this remote. It should be made available by every cable company and should be provided in every assisted living community. Thank you! Thank you!

Super Easy set up and works great for elderly trying to use complicated cable remotes. Highly recommend!

This was a godsend. Mother is in a memory care facility, Charter Spectrum was our only option for TV. There equipment is antiquated to say the least, you can't set a favorites list that is the default, so way too complicated for her. This remote allowed me to limit her to a few channels she likes. Thank you...

Great remote if you have elderly parents who have trouble with a many-button remote. Easy to use and set up. I got two and they both work great!

Simplicity of use. No visible numbers although they are available. Can program desired channels.

Our parent has mid-stage dementia. Got this remote to replace the standard one. She is able to use this with ease.

My mother has Alzheimer's and she started messing up the TV with the standard cable remote (tv out of sync, upgrading TV packages unknowingly, etc). I was having to go over to her house at least once a day to “fix” the TV. I asked the cable company if they had a “simple” remote for seniors and they said no. I ordered this remote and I was able to program specific channels, program it to only turn the TV off but keep the cable box on. I can't say enough good about this remote. No more phone calls during the day about the TV being “broken” or my mother just sitting looking at a blank screen because she gave up trying to fix it herself. Whoever created this definitely knows the struggles of people with cognitive disabilities and seniors that want simplicity. This is money well spent! Thank you!

This remote was easy to connect to my dad's television. The only thing to be careful is there is a code for the TV and another code for the set-top box (his was xfinity) You will need the numbers for both, but they are included in the instructions that come with the remote. Easy to install and everything worked as intended.
