iGadget Reviews the Rē

May 13th, 2010

“The Rē from NewKinetix is equally good for replacing defective or worn remote controls, as well as a universal remote for all household appliances supplied. Whether in the office, university, or at a friends, with the Rē you can control almost anything that has a remote control.”

GeeksRoom Review

May 12th, 2010

“El NewKinetix Rē es un dispositivo liviano y cuando lo agregamos al Iphone, además de que su peso es casi imperceptible, no hace que el smartphone no hace que se vea muy grande. Con solo 69 dólares podemos tener un control remoto que nos evita comprar esos grandes y costosos remotos que nos permiten tener todos los dispositivos de audio y video de un cuarto en un solo control.” Full Review

TrulyObscure Reviews the Rē

May 12th, 2010

“What sets the Rē apart from other iPhone remotes is that it has a fully populated IR code database chip (415 to be exact) for instantaneous, no-hassle support of almost all the home entertainment and AV devices. We were pleased that more brand codes were included for cable and satellite users as well as for DVD, Blu-ray, and HD radio. If we happened to lose our remote, we could easily replace it by making a copy from Rē.” Full Review

  • recent quotes

  • “Ordered, paid and the package arrived in one week. Great software with the ability to copy by bumping devices together. It can learn Bang & Olufsen remote codes which are typically out of frequency of most universal remotes.”

    Satisfied Rē Customer

  • “The last thing iPhone owners need is anything to make them feel even more smug, but a new generation of apps with their own plug-in gadget is in danger of doing just that. One of the best is the Re Universal Remote, which plugs in to the end of your handset and turns into a magic wand that controls almost anything electronic.”

    Live Magazine Reviews the Rē

  • “When I got home it took only moments to program the TV and DVD player in my bedroom. I eliminated the buttons I didn’t need, moved a few around and, Voila!”

    Mike’s Review – Early purchaser of the Rē

  • The Rē worked great with my PS3. I just plugged in the Schmartz BT to IR converter and selected the Schmartz brand when I set up the PS3. It has all the functions I need.

    Brooks K. Beta Tester

  • The product works AWESOME…!! Hell YEAH!!! The TV Samsung its tamed by the Re. The Cable box –ditto.

    Johann V. Beta Tester

  • To sum up the Re, I think that it is as intuitive as the iPhone itself. It does everything the several $100 to $1000 remotes do.
