Universal remote app

Unlike other universal IR remote controls and apps, Cider TV works via WiFi, so it is compatible with many Android devices even without built-in Infrared blaster (receiver) and with no infrared support (ex. Google Nexus, Sony Xperia, Motorola Droid, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Huawei, some Samsung Galaxy phones, Meizu, Lenovo, ASUS ZenFone etc). No need to jailbreak Apple TV.

Easy to Set Up. Pleasant to Use.

No special requirements - you just need active WiFi connection, Android OS v. 4.0.3 or above and non-jailbroken Apple TV to start. Pairing is needed only for first step. No additional hardware needed. We peel all the superfluous features of other universal remote analogues from the app to create best smart AppleTV remote for your Android device.

Our smart remote comes with intuitive gesture navigation so you can search for best TV shows, photos, music, games and movie episodes on your Apple TV in seconds. Please note that the app doesn`t support AirPlay, so you can't use CiderTV to stream, cast or share content from your Android device to your Apple TV via Air Play.

Find something good to watch

CiderTV Wi-Fi remote app comes with free built-in keyboard. It lets you to send texts to your Apple TV screen, rapidly type login and password on it from your phone and tablet.

Hate juggling between remotes? Always losing your TV remote?

CiderTV app saves you from this pain. Cider TV is the only remote for AppleTV that can also control your TV volume (via IP)! No need to change between remotes. Navigate menus, enjoy watching favorite movies and adjust your IP-enabled TV volume with all-in-one elegant solution. Almost all modern smart TVs support DLNA volume control from the box.

Good remote, could be amazing This has been my favorite apple TV remote for android but I just wish the play/pause button and slide would work. Such a pain without it and the only reason I keep thinking about using a different app.

Drew Nicholas

One cannot use this as a 'replacement remote' for apple tv unless one has the original Apple TV remote top connect this asp.... ... um yeah.... I'm no rocket scientist but doesn't the 'original remote' requirement completely negate the entire point of utilizing this remote? I mean isn't that why we're ALL downloading it to begin with.......to replace another dysfunctional or missing Apple TV remote.... no?

Samantha Bucklin

When it works it's perfect for my apple tv. Problem is, it only connects about 20% of the time. Otherwise I just get the same error over and over no matter how many times I restart the application or my devices.

Brett Villar

Slow and doesn't always control Buttons are poorly done. Apple TV doesn't respond at time and when it does, it's very delayed. No "back" option to exit screens and menus

Douglas Stevens

Finally got it to connect to my Apple TV via iTunes, but then it just sits there and loads.. It will not load the remote control, so I can't get the Apple TV to work without iTunes.. Laaame. I was willing to buy the full version if this worked.

Worked once. The app worked for 2 days then for some unknown reason could not find the apple tv. Bought the pro app hoping it would work. It didnt. The lite app and pro app support screen is completely blank. Don't waste your time or money on this hoax. Its a rip off X

Amazing! Upset since my IPad broke and I liked using the remote. This app is awesome. Once I figured out how to work it it's been great. Hint: read directions. Took me forever to figure out how to go back.

Santiago Alfaro January 20, 2017

The remote works reliably but the interface is not the best. If I was able to control the sensitivity of the swipes and the taps and double taps it would be much better. As it is, my double taps get mixed with swipe + select and it makes navigating very frustrating.

Truth Shines January 23, 2017

Very Frustrating! Have to hit a very exact micro center for selecting. If u don't hit just right, u will go up, down, right, or left. Am so glad I found my Apple remote. Just in time for receiving a Firestick for Christmas!

Francisco Flores December 9, 2016

LOVE IT IT WORKS SO MUCH!! 😄😄😄😄 So, I lost my Apple TV controller and then I was looking for an app to control my Apple TV, and I found this app and it works sooooo...... much!! Download it guys now it may look like it doesn't work, but it actually does DOWNLOAD IT RIGHT NOW!! 😂😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

LetsGo Low October 24, 2016

Very Bad It doesnt work at all. And it will give you a hard time to uninstall it. Unistall it in google play coz it wont let you uninstall in your system.

SWX34750 OZQ19268 February 7, 2017

Worked for a while but now it doesn't. Cannot get it to work on other phone either. Too bad. Good while it lasted.

WAYD LLC February 22, 2017

Hi. Apparently some problem with your Apple TV's connectivity. What is your phone model & OS version?

Katrina M.B November 10, 2016

Wtf is the point?! In order to use this app for the first time u need ur apple TV remote. I downloaded this app cause I lost my remote. Ugh going back to the other remote app.

Chin Young Chee November 7, 2016

Even better than iOS remote app! This app is more stable in response. My iOS app tends to miss signals & words when typed. This app's multiple text sending is ingenious!

Chris Shepherd December 19, 2016

Useless You need a remote to set it up. I don't have one that's why I'm using this app. Well thought out... not.

Alecia Burford March 26, 2017

So glad I don't have to download anything Apple related to be able to use this app. Thanks team great work

Joseph OA August 13, 2016

Has potential but not at the moment This app is really good in working as a touch apple remote, the only problem is that in most cases the app will hang and you have to restart the app to get it to work. I hope they fix it soon.

Gary bolinsky November 22, 2016

Apple TV. Need remote to setup. Derrr whole point is if you don't have remote. Genius apple. Fail as usual.

Rod Kerr October 11, 2016

Works perfectly Really happy with this app. Easy to use and being wifi based doesn't need to be pointed at the Apple TV to work. No problems with setting up, took a few seconds.

Darwin Kang October 18, 2016

Great app but can't get volume working Only because it promises volume control I can't give it a perfect score. I don't know how to sync my TV with it does anyone know how?

SK32ExplodingCreeps August 18, 2016

Not very good The menu button dosent work and the buttons arent easy to press

Tatiana Popescu December 31, 2016

I pay and still can't add a second apple tv I have tried many times to ad second control and it won't let me. You can't rewind or fast forward all the time.

Daniel Hackett May 7, 2017

I've paid my subscription, it didn't work. I bought an extra slot, that didn't work. The, app is stuck in "processing my payment". So it took my money and jammed itself. Worked well until I tried to show support and purchase it.

Jasper Edwards September 26, 2016

Awesome Works perfectly, and love being able to type things in on my phone keyboard (like Android TV remote for Android TV) rather than have to individually select each character with the Apple TV remote that it came with.

Jade Harley February 23, 2017

Requires you to enter a passcode from the Apple device. Which you have to get to via Apple remote. Which makes no sense because why would I be using this app if I still had my Apple remote? Other apps don't require me to put in a passcode... EDIT- Dev Null's Apple Remote was the one I used to use that didn't ask me for a passcode. It isn't compatible with my new phone.

WAYD LLC February 22, 2017

Yes, we always wanted this pairing to be seamless and totally without native remote from day #1. But this isn't possible currently. Can you please tell what other app doesn't require you to put in a passcode?

March 18, 2017

Waste of time to download. Does not work as advertised. Article at XDA must have been posted by dev as it is just false advertising

Steve Wynne January 22, 2017

Every button, whatever i press, is sent to my Apple TV as "enter". I try to go sideways, back, up, whatever. Always just clicks whatever button/title i am on. No functionality. Crap.

WAYD LLC February 22, 2017

Sorry to hear that. Do you mean you are in Native mode and any button tap makes "Enter"?

Andrea Mejia November 10, 2016

The only reason i downloaded this app was because i lost my apple remote, and when you open the app it says take your apple remote and put in some code... im pretty sure the main reason why people download this app is because they lost their apple remote DUHH...😡

E L February 27, 2017

The keyboard doesn't work with my Apple TV 4th gen. Plus voice feature would be a bonus to have.

Mario Ventura January 12, 2017

Requires working apple remote If my apple TV control worked I wouldn't be downloading this app... Waste of time

Fred Johnston May 10, 2017

Doesn't have + and - To turn volume up and down on Bluetooth, for example. Works a bit, but not great!

Rahul Krishna August 13, 2016

I don't get all the negative reviews. This remote is awesome!

March 14, 2017

Needs a back button, overall feels uncompleted. I'll stick to the remote that came with my Apple TV.

Eli Porter February 1, 2017

DOESN'T WORK! This app doesn't even detect my Apple TV. Can't connect to it, can't do anything.

WAYD LLC February 22, 2017

Is your Apple TV connected to Ethernet/WiFi? Check this troubleshooting portal: http://blog.ezzi.com/cider-tv-faq-directory/

Suzie Kim December 17, 2016

Bestttt remote app Ive tried a lot of apps and this onr is rrslly nice, especially bc you can swipe directions so you dont havr to look at the buttons to press.

Jeff VanDellen February 2, 2017

Worked once bought subscription to remove ads and limitations, still ads and doesn't work now.

WAYD LLC February 22, 2017

Hey Jeff. Sorry to hear that. Please post me an email and we'll figure out what happened in the logs. almas@ezzi.com

Tyson Pyles October 2, 2016

Great app for a recent android convert Simply, it works perfect. Better than the apple version on iphone.

Kristi Wilson December 5, 2016

Saves My sanity My 18 year old doesn't want her iPhone as the kids apple tv remote. This was a 10 second set up. Works great. Thank you Cider.

Zhi Zheng September 4, 2016

Delays Good app but everytime I type something it delay like 10 seconds to let my Apple TV receive!

Natissa K April 29, 2017

Did'nt work as I needed it to,but that was on me. However, when I tried to delete it, the app blocks the screen and makes itself hard to uninstall. Would've given 4 stars if not for that.

What's New

Hey folks! In order to further support development of CiderTV we had to make this choice: now CiderTV has ads and Apple TV slots limit. In order to remove ads and upgrade slot limits, you can purchase Pro subscription or just buy additional slots. We are also releasing CiderTV Pro - the good-old fully functional CiderTV that you can buy forever for $4.99.

CiderTV wouldn’t be possible without your support and now we need it as never before.

Love!

CiderTV Team.
