Ratings and reviews

Overall, this is a good app. My primary complaint is with the remote. There is a scenario (which happens frequently) where I leave the remote open until the screen locks. When I unlock the screen, the unlock pattern and/or fingerprint reader is in the same place as the remote. My finger is on the screen as the phone unlocks and I inadvertently, yet unavoidably, press a button on the remote (usually the home button), interrupting whatever is playing on the TV.

I love this app, but the latest update has absolutely ruined my Google TV Remote functionality. It's become horrendously unreliable. Edit: I have provided this feedback. Thank you. I was having the issue on my pixel fold, and it continues on my pixel 8 pro. Hopefully this is fixed soon. Thanks! I've provided feedback in the app for weeks. The issue still occurs and had made the software remote worthless.

This app is supposed to let you use your phone as a chromecast remote when the remote it comes with breaks (it will). It will not pair effectively unless you uninstall and then reinstall, and even then, it took a few tries to show the screen to enter the pairing code. The chromecast itself is okay, but everything you have to use to interact with it is defective in some way.
