Apple Remote App for iOS6?

Hello,


I today bought a Apple TV 3, and now I wanna use the "Remote" App on my iPhone or iPad...


The Problem is:

I still use iOS6 and don't wanna update to iOS7 (because I hate this ugly new "Design")...


Now I have tried to download the "Remote" App on App Store,

but there comes up a message "You need iOS7"...


Where I can download the old version 3.0.1 for iOS6?


Can someone help me?


best regards

Christian :-)

Apple TV, iOS 6.1.4

Good news!

I finally found the solution!


Open iTunes on Mac/PC and sign in to the Apple-Store with your Apple-ID/Password...

Now search in iTunes under "Apps" for the Remote-App and download it (it downloads it to the HDD)...


Now you can also download the App in App-Store on your iPhone/iPad and it will ask if you would like to download the last compatible Version! :-)

Hi :-)

The Problem is, if I send you the file, it doesnt work! Because the App is signed to my Apple-ID...


But I again have tried it with another App and it works!!!


Sign in on iTunes and search the App in iTunes and Download the latest ios7 Version to hdd!

Then go to App Store in iPhone and Download the latest compatible ios6 Version!

It should work!!

iPhone 4 running iOS 6.0.1 and iTunes 11.1.3 on my Macbook Air...


I can confirm that downloading the "Remote" app in the app store in iTunes on my Macbook Air then going to the app store on my iPhone to download the Remote app there (you will now see a little iCloud download link next to the app instead of the 'Free' button), will prompt the installation of a previous version compatible with iOS 6.


Thanks for the tip.


Apple - this could be simpler! Let the app store check iPhone model as well as iOS version and allow anything below iPhone 4s to access previous compatible versions without having to jump through hoops.
