Fantastic app! It's made my life so much easier when transferring files to and when populating text boxes on my Nvidia Shield. Simply upload files to designated folders or use the built-in keyboard. Many more uses but just want to say the developer is great and the app receives regular updates and improvements. Recommend 10/10.

I used this for less than a minute then purchased. I've got other similar apps, but this one is better in nearly every way and the channels feature is unique and utterly awesome. This and TVA make using ATV/Google TV devices more pleasurable.

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.
