“Fantastic product. My mum was really struggling to operate her 3 remotes and I was forever travelling across town to fix the tv. This remote has made a huge difference. You need to be patient in getting it programmed as the instructions could be more user friendly but there are a number of good videos on you tube that step you through it.”

“Flipper remote control really easy for mum to use. Well worth spending the extra time making sure you use the right code for your model TV and limiting the number of channels to flick through (use the TV channel selection features if possible). All you need now is one with simple DVD commands - play pause eject.”

“Buttons difficult to use for memory compromised elderly person. Tend to stick down if pressed too hard with resultant skipping of channels. If you don’t press hard enough nothing happens and a memory compromised elderly person thinks it’s not working. Odd button moulding as well which doesn’t help.”

We are sorry for the issue you faced with the buttons being difficult to use and tending to stick down. This isn't a problem we're aware of with this remote control, it may be a faulty controller or it might be liquid that has been spilled on the remote. If you continue to experience this issue with the remote and it's not due to liquid then please contact our customer service team who'll be happy to help investigate this further and look at replacing the remote if needed.

“I bought this for my 95 year old mother, who is severely sight impaired,and her hand also shakes. It was fairly easy for me to set up for her, and although she struggles with anything different at first, it was very easy to operate.”

“This has changed my dad’s ability to use the tv. What an excellent device. It’s not 100% perfect. Every week or so, he manages to do something he’s not supposed to, but I’ll happily take that over how it was before.”

“Bought for dementia sufferer who lost previous remote. The big and simple buttons and controls give her important autonomy over her tv, a major source of company and entertainment.”

“Awesome concept and once set up a game changer -IF bought in time for a dementia sufferer to learn a new skill… sadly even 5 buttons have proven a challenge but I can see the benefits . General feedback would be slightly bigger button and writing for on /off. The buttons to be placed vertically so volume UP is up ⬆️ and down ⬇️ and not to the right etc which also causes confusion . Let the buttons say what they do . Amazing product though and wish had bought it sooner !”
