Use your Infrared-enabled Android device as a remote for the Apple TV!
ONLY DEVICES WITH AN INFRARED TRANSMITTER WILL WORK!
Please read this in its entirety before commenting! If you have any troubles, please email me first before leaving a negative review and I'll do my best to address your issue. To enable infrared support on your Apple TV, you MUST first unpair your original Apple TV remote.
Same icon, same app, different name. Google took down the previous one due to the name. For users who paid to remove the ads, please email me with your transaction/order number in the subject line from the Google email address you use to log into Google Play and the ads will be disabled for you (sorry there's no other way of doing this).
Features:
- Control your Apple TV via infrared (IR) without having to jailbreak your Apple TV
- Keyboard support that lets you type on your device and it sends the infrared codes either after every letter or all at once
- Holding directional and menu buttons down will keep sending those codes across
How to enable infrared support on your Apple TV:
- On your Apple TV, go to General > Remote
- Select 'Unpair Apple Remote'
How to use the keyboard:
- First open the on-screen keyboard on the Apple TV
- Then click the A button on the app to show the keyboard on your Android device
- Keep the device aimed at the Apple TV and start typing
- If you want to send codes all at once (for example when entering an email address), hit the toggle button labeled Letter to change it to Word(s) after which you'll need to click Send to send the codes at once (make sure your device is pointed at the Apple TV throughout the entire send)
