Thanks for the info, but Hardware devices in that thread are being compared to what remote control ships with the Box. Like for like.
WeTek for example also has an App that mirrors the screen and provides extra functions too. That is also not included in that thread.

Then there are a bunch of users that simply want One single remote control in one Hand (myself included), Beer in the other, and don't want to stuff around with Phones or Tablets, draining batteries, and dropping into annoying sleep modes just to simply control a Android media player properly.

This is the exact reason Android TV OS was invented, for simple sensible big screen TV Apps control.

The Hicontrol remote app is excellent, free, and widely used. I think you are wrong to focus purely on the IR remote (which is also pretty good, albeit not a combined keyboard/pointing device).

Went searching for "Hicontrol remote app iPhone"...as I wanted to see what was available..

The best way to control the Q5 (or Q10, M3 or any Android box) is a wireless mouse or other pointing device. Unless you plan on doing a lot of typing a mouse works great. Most mice are compatible and we sell a few airmice/trackpads. The Rii Mini i8+ is a great product. http://www.futeko.com/browse.php?cat=rem

There is no iPhone app for the Q5. If you had an Android device then the HiControl app (http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php...104#msg104) does exactly what you require, but HiMedia have no plans for an iOS version.

There are various Kodi remotes available for iOS which will work with Kodi on the Q5. e.g. this official one: http://kodi.wiki/view/Official_Kodi_Remote/iOS

So no Hicontrol iPhone App, no RF Air Mouse / Keyboard, that should be included in a relatively expensive Q10 media player package and you want to upsell airmice/trackpads to HiMedia purchasers due to this essential, missing remote control functionality.
I don't think I need to take this any further.

Don't feel singled out here as WeTek have no iOS WeControl App either, despite repeated requests.
