This app turns the iPhone into a remote for controlling a Sharp Aquos LCD TV. The app requires the iWavit hardware. It will not work without it!! See www.thinkoptics.com for more details.
This app emulates a real IR Remote for controlling a Sharp Aquos LCD TV Model LC60LE830 60" LED Quattron, although it will also control many other Sharp TVs. The layout of the buttons should be familiar, as it is similar to the remote that ships with newer model Sharp TVs. Swipe left-right between 4 screens to get to all the buttons.
There are a few notable benefits of iWavit Virtual Remotes over traditional remotes:
1. Reduce Remote Control clutter. Put all your Remotes inside your iPhone as “Virtual Remotes”.
2. Have large and easy to hit buttons,
2. Have buttons that are easily seen in the dark. No need to turn on the lights just to adjust the volume, and
4. Use the (optional) iWavit USB Dongle & IR Lightbar as a wireless IR Extender, allowing you to be over 300 ft. away from the device you want to control.
When you press the buttons on the iWavit Sharp app, IR signals will be emitted from the front of the iWavit Attachment or from the IR Lightbar. You will be able to use this app much as you would a regular Sharp TV IR Remote. Although this app comes with pre-stored IR functions, all buttons are also e-programmable. You might, for example, prefer to have certain buttons control your surround sound system instead of the TV volume.
On the iWavit Sharp app you can choose to have IR signals blasted from the USB Dongle & IR Lightbar instead of the iPhone. These are available in the iWavit Premium or BLUETOOTH Smart iWavit Blast! products.
The IR Lightbar is a very powerful IR blaster with 6 LEDs. This means that the Sharp TV does not even have to be in direct line of sight to the IR Lightbar because the Lightbar will light up the room with invisible IR signals when it blasts. So now you will be able to be lean back in your couch a press any button without even pointing the remote and still be able to control your TV.
The "iWavit Sharp" app is part of a family of iWavit Virtual Remotes for Major-Brand electronic devices. For those who wish to create their own custom Remote Controls, we have created the Ultimate Remote Control app called "Tabula Rasa." With this app you can create your own remotes, download remotes, upload remotes to share them, use the Remote Control Wizard, or learn IR codes directly from your old IR remotes. You can even create macros for embedding multiple functions inside a single button. Another unique feature, is that you can use the app to control computers using USB Keyboard strokes or through the patented DirectPointing air-mouse technology built into the iWavit.

Latest reviews of iWavit Sharp app for iPhone and iPad
app crashes every time I try and open it. Lame
$60 for the gizmo that attaches to the iPhone? I dont think so.
This app is worthless
Buy a $70 useless accessory? This app is piece of garbage.
This app is totally useless. You cant use it unless you go out and buy a $75 attachment. You can buy a brand new remote thats much better quality than this stupid app for much less. A rating of one star is too good for this garbage.
