Underrated but extremely powerful app for Android TV. Using it on a TCL C7K, it easily replaces my remote app, file transfer app, and app manager. Sending APKs, installing them, and disabling unnecessary apps is simple and fast — no PC needed. Clean, lightweight, and works reliably. Note: You have to install this app on your mobile (not tv) and enable Developer mode and USB debugging options in your TV (not mobile)... Highly recommended for Android TV users

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).

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.

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.
