Though, when we reviewed the device, we did notice some of its limitations. It can only launch apps, so it can&rsquo;t play a specific movie or TV show. And because it&rsquo;s not compatible with any of the Apple TV or Roku voice commands, you still need to keep your Apple or Roku remotes handy. It&rsquo;s unclear exactly why Logitech is dropping Harmony Express, but those limitations may have been a factor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2019-04-16-logitech-harmony-express-alexa-universal-remote.html\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2019-04-16-logitech-harmony-express-alexa-universal-remote.html<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Christine Fisher<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Christine Fisher<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/4001-logo.png\" alt=\"\">Harmony Express remotes will stop working on September 30th.
