Very impressed with the service, the website is clear and the ordering process straightforward. The product, the Flipper remote control, arrived promptly and we are very satisfied. My Mother-in-Law finds it easy to use and it is such an improvement on the remote she was using enabling her to watch TV without getting lost.

Product works very well and my mother of 81 suffering from Dementia is slowly getting to grips with it. My only problem was it took me an hour to set it up! The TV is only 2 yrs old but I had to go the long way round to get it to recognise the signal. Very frustrating for me.

Bought a 7" digital day clock. Very grateful that time and date was set before dispatch so just had to plug it in for Mum - no fuss. She's much happier knowing what day it is and she's not getting mixed up with her tablets. Also ordered simple remote control - keyboard hidden so just on/off, volume, and channel changing arrows visible to avoid confusion. Great idea to be able to save just favourite channels then lock it so it can't be messed about with. Haven't set it up for Mum to use yet, but it looks like such a good idea I might get one for myself!

An excellent product for those with failing eyesight.The instructions however leave one somewhat frustrated if you have to venture into the dark depths of "learning the button codes".I spent quite a lot of time trying to reason what was required intuitively rather than glean same from the written Chinglish. Eventually I set out with a plan to learn 16 of the original button box "buttons" and enter the TV channels as required,in my case just four were required. Having done all this I tried the Flipper out and it worked exactly as required. So after an adventure into the unknown I came back with the job done and my poorly sighted neighbour delighted. The team at Alz products were encouraging and helpful - my thanks to them. Overall a great product that is a little let down by instructions that could be clearer.

Purchased the flipper remote for my aunt who is 94 years old and suffers from dementia. It was easy to set up and use. All in all a great product.

The control was set up in learning mode, the TV code wasn't available. Mother now can control the TV
