Would not connect to my cable box
The Flipper looked great and was easy to program, but unfortunately my Cable Company uses an exclusive Cisco box with their own remotes. Which means none of the codes worked to program Flipper. I called the cable company and they won't give the code that will work. They say that we can only use their remote. I tried to explain to them about the need for a senior remote, but they didn't care. So before you purchase a Flipper or any remote, check with your cable company to see if they will give you the 4 digit code to program into the new remote.
I gave the device a 5 star because it is a great remote,. I just can't use it because of my cable company. MetroNet IncRead full review

Great for dementia!!!!
Only allows two devices.
Because two of my equipment codes are the same I was able to get the sound bar, tv and cable box to work. Mom needs a sound bar since she is deaf and most flat screens put the speaker in the back which is bad for hearing aides. The channel memory is a bit Persnickety in that change the batteries and you lose all the stations programmed. Royal pain. Also sometimes what you programmed for channels doesn’t always take right so make sure you scroll through it before turning it over to your parent. Still this is the best option out there for a parent with dementia. Ideally the up-and-down for channel and the up-and-down for volume should be displayed vertically as up-and-down because a dementia patient does get confused. Unfortunately the designer of the remote did it left and right for up and down volume and up and down channel. Hopefully maybe the designer will see this comment and in a later version release it so that other dementia patients may find it easier. still this is the BEST Dementia tv remote out there. Kudos.Read full review

Great remote for the elderly
I purchase this remote for my father who is in a assisted living home. He kept having issues with hitting the wrong button on his cable remote and then not knowing how fix what he did. This remote was really simple to program and so far has been working great. No more getting called over to fix his tv. Would definitely recommend. Read full review

Wonderfully, beautifully simplistic
A wonderful product for folks who struggle with the million buttons on most remotes, or, heaven forbid, have to use TWO remotes, one for cable and one for tv. I bought it for my 91 year old mom and am now seriously thinking about getting one for myself.Read full review

Senior saver.
Remote works verry well, My Mother is 90 years old and hits the wrong button at times and i have to go to her house to fix the goof up, So far no calls from her. Only thing is i am 72 and it was a bit confusing for me to get the remote set up, The directions could be a little easier to understand and on larger paper, Over all i am satisfied.Read full review

Flipper remote
I can not get the remote to change channels. On and off and volume. I get a message that text to talk does not work. I looked up everything I can on our ROKU tv, and can not make it work

Good for those suffering with dementia
Great product if you know someone with mild to moderate dementia. But don't wait too long, get them use to it and part of a routine before the disease progresses too far.
