NO! FLPR uses a negligible amount of power when it is connected. Only when you hit command keys does FLPR use a brief amount of power form your Apple iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and then for such a brief moment (1/10 of a second) that the drain on the battery is not significant compared to the display energy usage, WiFi, Bluetooth or other services active on your device. Most conventional remotes will work for one to two years on a couple of disposable batteries and FLPR Programmable Universal Remote Control does not use any more energy than a typical remote control.
Yes, FLPR will work with Apple iPad. For iPhone-based apps that run on iPad, you can either run them in an iPhone-sized screen or expanded to fit the full iPad screen. In the near future, we will be releasing a HD version for iPad that takes advantage of the larger screen area and provides some new cool features.
On average, FLPR Universal Remote Control can operate devices up to 45 feet away. This figure may be shorter or longer depending on several factors, including the remote protocol used. Some examples of situations in which the range might be shorter include a blocked or altered IR receiver, bright sunlight or certain types of fluorescent lighting, or incomplete custom device training (command key learning).
