Total nightmare setting it up. Two carers tried to do it for my Dad, both techy people. Really struggled, booked a tech support call, they didn’t call as arranged, messages left via Facebook etc. No response, the damn thing still isn’t working. Ivectried to set it up too as has my nephew who is studying IT st Uni....still can’t get it to work. Quite how this is designed for someone with dementia beats me. Very disappointed as still having to make a forty five minute round trip to turn on tv for my Dad! Feel quite ripped off.

We're sorry to hear that our customer is unhappy with their Flipper remote control. We've contacted the customer directly to resolve this and get the device working for them. Regarding the lack of returned calls and messages, we have checked our customer service system and have no logged correspondence with this customer and believe that they may have contacted the manufacturer directly instead of the AlzProducts team, which sometimes happens. We'll update this review with further information after we've resolved this for the customer.

Bought this for my father who has severe Vascular Dementia. Very easy to programme (once I stopped being obstinate and read the instructions) but perhaps someone older will certainly require it to be done for them. My fathers Ztv Is a Panasonic and the remote was recognised using th3 second code on the list. It certainly makes the remote much simpler to use. Heartily recommend this product. (All we need now is to stop him losing the remote...)

The control is really simple for people with dementia. However, it does take a while to set it up especially if your TV has 10 different codes and you do not know which code the remote will accept.
