Showed my TV as findable until I had to do a factory reset. I've reactivated USB debugging, it's on the same network, now won't find it at all. Not a great first impression so I just deleted it. I'd heard great things so I'm a little disappointed. It has troubles staying connected forcing me to restart my TV to reconnect. Pretty much guaranteed to happen every time I use it unless I use it for a couple minutes max. Edit: it happens so much, I'm lowering my rating

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 atvTools 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.

Just send me screenshots with errors to tvdevv@gmail.com, I’m sure that it is not the app’s trouble, maybe you are trying to install file with wrong architecture or another signature

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
