## What is Chill Remote?

Chill Remote gives you a remote control for Netflix, Amazon Prime, iPlayer, YouTube, Vimeo, Hulu, Twitch, ITV, Disney+ and Britbox

- If you watch on your computer
- If you use Chrome
- If you'd like a remote control

Then Chill Remote is for you.

It's incredibly easy to set up - you can control any computer. It is perfect for your media center, or if you plug your computer into a TV or Projector.

You get all the controls you expect; Play Pause, Seeking, Volume, Fullscreen, plus you can browse on your iDevice.
You can even control what is playing from a Today Widget on your lockscreen

Now with speed controls so you can watch content faster (or slower!)

We add the 'What was that?' control. It winds back 20 seconds, turns on the subtitles, plays on and then disables the subtitles after 20 seconds. Perfect for checking unclear dialogue.

Browse Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, iPlayer, Vimeo, Amazon Prime, Disney+ and BritBox on your iDevice and when you find what you want to watch - just click play. It will start playing on your computer as if by magic :)

The Netflix browsing functionality even includes easy access to Neflix's 'secret' content codes to make it even easier to find something new to watch.

Vimeo gives you easy category browsing, and iPlayer gives you quick access to channels, categories and even radio stations.

Supported Devices

### 5/5 — Neat app

*2020-03-30, version 2.20*

Let’s you control your computer from afar. We have it hooked up to a projector, makes it easy to browse Netflix without having to touch the laptop.

### 1/5 — Faulity app

*2020-02-12, version 2.20*

Full screen button doesn’t work, puts chrome app in full screen mode not Netflix or Hulu etc..

### 1/5 — Cannot get code

*2020-01-26, version 2.20*

Not worth my time or trouble

### 1/5 — The code

*2019-06-11, version 1.95*

It won't even let me get the code I have tried so many times and it won't work.

**Developer response:** Hi Danielle, feel free to email me (you can email from within the app) for help. 
Or you can watch the video tutorial here: https://chillremote.tv/help/get_code_video

### 1/5 — Chill Remote

*2018-10-14, version 1.85*

This app should not be $1.99, it’s not worth it. It worked twice for me when I first downloaded it and after that it stopped working. Also, you have to subscribe to get some features. Would not recommend.

**Developer response:** Hi Sonja - I'll be happy to help you figure out what is up. 
You can email me directly from within the app.
