Comments on Google TV Remote for Android

★★★★★ Remote for the media cube My mom just got the new media cube which is awesome but the remote it came with sucks but when we read the guide for the media cube it told us about this app and it is useful and saves a lot of time with navigation and batteries.

★★★★★ Excellent Now I can control my android tv box without any glitch :)

★★★★★ Great app! This app for the Sony Google TV. I'm not sure if this app works with other smart televisions. But it works very well with my tv. Thanks.

★★★★★ Not bad Works great with my Allwinner A20 Android TV box being controlled by my HTC M7 running Android 5.0.2 . Only complaint, seems to lose connection with the box sometimes randomly. Overall, decent remote app and exactly what I've been looking for.

★★☆☆☆ Vizio Costar Does not recognize my vizio costar google TV device!

★★☆☆☆ Didn't even work.

★★☆☆☆ Please fix The control that came with the Sony GoohleTV was draining our batteries. We had to change the batteries every other day. Our only control that we depended on was this app and now this app is not working please fix

★★☆☆☆ Use to be a great app! Now it SUCKS! Updated the app, now it sucks! What a surprise. What is the point in having a button that shows a Keyboard but no Keyboard opens up. Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't find a keyboard anywhere when it use to be there. Uninstalling until you get it fixed. Hopefully I can find another remote!

★★☆☆☆ Hit & miss on my 1st gen gtv To often the app does not detect gtv on wifi network. Sometimes the manual ip setup works but usually it's like pulling teeth. But when it does work I like it--which is about 1 out of the 5 times I try to fire up this app. Disappoints the most because this was one of the best original gtv apps.
