Ratings and reviews

I used to love this app. now it doesn't work at all each and every update my phone is not compatible my phone is always compatible I tried uninstall reinstall try everything and it still does not work

Why would I want this? At least allow me to choose - don't believe this will be used on my TV. Am already running out of space and Google continues adding mandatory apps.

A nice to have for using a phone as a full keyboard but sucks since it's started forcing me to use it all the time. I don't carry a phone with me all over the house and especially not at night. I eventually had to install a third-party keyboard. I replaced my original Chromecasts with A-TVs mostly to have remote control without having to unlock and open phones apps first.
