I hope they continue to develop it.

I guess what I mean to say is for now I think the Harmony is the better device overall for usability.
I have the RF/IR Harmony since my components are hidden. So I still need a power/volume remote, plus a remote to switch activities.
So I could just use the Harmony app and the Shaw app I guess, and switch. However, I have never found myself keeping my phone with me at all times TV watching. So a stand alone device does have its benefits.
I too hope they keep developing the app, I really do not hope they think this is it, and just do incremental bug fixes like they did with the Gateway system. They promised so much at launch with the Gateway (DLNA, WiFi for example) and delivered a partially useful guide app 4 years later.
So we will see, but for now I am keeping my Harmony, it has been totally worth the investment, and will be for the near future.
