All my receivers are connected to my network and have control apps. They are ok for certain things but unless you have one app that controls every device in your system it doesn't make much sense. You are basically just replacing your receiver remote with your phone or tablet. Still have to use another remote to turn other devices on or switch to another app.

Harmony had that little circular universal remote device out a while ago that worked exclusively off of an app with your phone or tablet, but it sounds like it was pretty crappy.
