useless app. Can not do anything with this app. Absolute waste of time, energy, money and band width. Except the mouse function nothing works.
Don't waste your time on this one. Followed the instructions and when I connect it to the Andoid TV box with the USB cable it doesn't do anything. Total garbage.
This does not work. The same developer's Mouse Toggle used to work, but does not now. I use it for a 2nd gen firestick.
Doesn't work on chromecast
Not sure why the bad rating. This is the only remote woking with mouse mode. We should encourage the dev. I can now Click on those apps I sideloaded from my phone to my Android TV. This is relly cool. No need for a bluetooth mouth. Jus grab my phone and I can Click. I still use the physicall remote for some things. The only thin is the keyboard typing is very slow compared to other apps. I just switched to other remote for typing. But this one give me the mouse click which no other app has implemented. Great job. Love it. Save me money for multiple bluetooth mouses in the house.
Great as a mouse but like others have said, the other inputs are a bit slow. I switch from the stock Android Remote App to this if I need a mouse app. Would give five stars if the dev can fix the speed issue of the regular remote
Amazing app and one of a kind! Works perfectly on my shield (where you can already enable adb over wifi from the developer settings). It's a huge advantage to have a cursor controlled by my phone on the TV. Your app is also very useful to enable adb over wifi on any device via just a cable (you should consider putting this ability in a seperate app especially for this, would be useful for my (no shame) self-made adb shell Tasker plugin to activate adb over wifi from another phone instead of having to grab a pc). I do still have request, the dpad seems a bit slow (the mouse is faster) and I would very much like air-mouse support, where pointing and moving your phone would moving the cursor on the screen.
There is quite a bit of delay when using the remote. Hopefully you can fix this.
Installed and setup as the guide but just the mouse works and cant click on anything nothing works recommend not to buy this app its waste of money and time. Try to install on Nvidia shield. unless the app developer gives me a salution then ill maybe give this a good review Note: there is no refund
Awesome AndroidTV remote works perfectly on NexusPlayer with my Nexus6p
Tried pairing my Nexus 5x to the Xiaomi mi box. I followed instructions to connect phone to box with USB cable and USB debugging on but the client ago wouldn't sync.
Aside from some initial set up issues, this had been the only remote app to effectively give me a mouse for my Android TV boxes and my Nvidia shield. Despite having not been updated in 3 years, it still seems to work fine for me.
