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.

The app works but with a keyboard problem. Tested it with TV Bro and works half the time. Sometimes it just doesn't respond to what I'm typing at all. I think it's having conflict with DevTools. Since there's a keyboard button on this app, the on-screen keyboard should not appear on Android TV to prevent confusion. Please fix this because I'm starting to like this app. 4 stars for now.

It's a Swiss knife of a smart TV. it does everything that you expect from multiple apps. I really loved the app, and I'm happy to purchase this app.

I really wanted to like this app. I thought I would base on the tvQuickActions app by the same developer, but I was surprised to see this app immediately crash every time I opened it on my Google Pixel Fold.

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.
