The app is only as good as the support
First issue is having only a lean list of troubleshooting FAQs
My particular issue is I see my TVs , I try to add them. When I tap to open it successfully triggers tv tv display PIN code on the tv. However there is no pop up , no option on the app to enter the pin. It says accept on your tv. But there is no option to accept. Only the pin and a cancel option.
I guess if the developers see this then they might put an option easily found to ask an out of FAQ option . Otherwise it’s on to the next app.

Great app — just a few additions would make it perfect
I really like Smart Remote+. Being able to control my Google TV Streamer and the other Google TVs around my house from a Mini Remote widget stack on the second page of my Home Screen has honestly been a game changer. The app already offers a lot of great functionality, but it could be even better if some of its existing features were also made available in the widgets and remote controls.
There are just a few things I’d love to see added:
* Color buttons in the Home Screen Mini Remote widget. The full remote already has Red, Green, Yellow, and Blue buttons, and I’ve mapped those buttons to custom actions on my Google TV. Being able to add a color-button row to the Mini Remote widget would make the widget much more useful.
* Fix the Apps button for Google TV Streamer. Right now, pressing Apps opens the app launcher inside Smart Remote+ rather than sending an actual Apps button command to the Google TV. Because of that, it can’t be detected or remapped by apps like tvQuickActions.
* Add a Favorites/Star button. The physical Google TV remote has a Favorites button, and mine is mapped to a custom action. It would be great if Smart Remote+ included that button and sent the same command to the Google TV so custom mappings would work.
* Add a keyboard button for phone typing. It would be extremely useful to tap a keyboard button in the remote and type directly from the iPhone when searching, entering usernames, or filling in text fields on Google TV.
Overall, excellent app and easily one of the best remote replacements I’ve used. These additions would make it almost perfect for people who customize their Google TV controls.

Smart and powerful
This is easily the best alternative to the bloated official remote apps and all of the expensive and overcomplicated alternatives on the store. It has tons of features but is still easy to use with a nice clean interface. Lots of great first-class platform features like widget and shortcut support.
The developer has been adding tons of new features and fixing issues introduced by new TV firmware versions. He even worked with me directly on resolving an issue. Can't say enough good things about the app!

Cant change inputs once app isnpurchased
Bought app for its shortcut integration but as soon as i purchased app the input selection ability stopped working. Very disappointed.
Response from developer
Hello, I am very sorry about this. It occurred due to an LG TV update which happened around the same time. This should now be resolved in the latest version. If you could confirm this is the case, otherwise, could you please reach out via support and I will get this resolved for you.
Great remote app
Way better than the lg app that disconnects every 2 seconds. I have had solid connection and slightly faster input.
Awesome Remote App
Works amazingly with my smart lg tv. only thing i wish it had was a. umber pad for entering the pin lock number for streaming apps!!! thanks so much. purchased the pro version to support as well :D
Response from developer
Hi, if you email me at gary@bouncingball.mobi and explain what apps and a bit more about what you need I'll get it added if possible.
Smart remote for tv
Wish it can do more then just lg tv I use google/andorid tv more but nice app to use on any device for apple iOS and Mac devices.
Response from developer
Hi, Android TV has been added since the last update. If you have any issues or feature requests then email me at gary@bouncingball.mobi and I'll get them fixed or added.
Simple but smart
This is a great alternative to the bloated official remote apps and all of the expensive and overcomplicated alternatives on the store. It's easy to add your TV and the main interface is simple and to the point with no distractions. The widgets and Watch app are fantastic features. I can just swipe to my widgets page on my phone and control my TV without even needing to open the app. Don't waste your time with the other apps, just get this one and be happy.
