Comments on atvTools for Android

★★★★★ Darren English · May 18, 2026

Excellent app for managing android TV/Google TV devices at home.

★★★★☆ Pri Mož · Nov 21, 2025

Awesome stuff but the keyboard doesn't work on kodi, but it works in other apps. Not sure why.

★★★★★ Jaro · Jul 17, 2025

So smart and helpful. Just like tvQuickActions. I can't find any flaws. Connection with ADB is instant. That price of coffee is really worth to unlock of premium features. This app actually helped me from making another factory reset of my buggy device. Thanks, Mr. Developer! 🙂 P.S. An option to clear data in multiple apps at once would be amazing (same as it's possible with disable and uninstall).

★★★★★ Dan Kelly · Nov 7, 2025

I have just tried out the free version, and it's great for sending files/ photos etc. I Just paid for premium and even better features. Highly recommend this app. So easy to use. And dev is responsive to any questions.

★☆☆☆☆ Rob Rausch · Apr 19, 2026

I've tried for 2 days to get this to work, and it can't even install an app. It is connected to the Google TV Streamer, I can control the remote functions but install doesn't work. I get multiple different errors on every app I've tried to install. I did find the website for DevTools, but there's no detailed guides and every "get started" link takes me to the Apple app store? I kind of like the app and would buy the premium version but installing apps was my main reason to use the app.

★☆☆☆☆ Micah S. · Feb 25, 2025

I would love if this worked, but it will not connect with the new Google TV Streamer. I have enabled debugging enter IP and port and pair code fails to connect every time.
