What do people use this for?

I get this question every once in a while on forums. Here are a few responses that were posted

Here are my usecases:

• my physical remote is out of possession of my toddlers
• if I'm watching tv in the dark, I definitely know where my phone is, unlike the remote
• no need in batteries (well, it's minor, but still).

Here’s my most recent use case: I’m laying in bed, but I’m hearing machine guns from the boy playing Call of Duty in the basement.

Two screen taps, and I’m looking at a virtual remote to turn his tv volume down.
