Whether your physical remote is missing, out of battery, or simply out of reach, Pultio keeps your TV controls in your pocket. ## Features * Easy setup and pairing * Automatic detection of compatible TVs * Remote control buttons for everyday use * Touchpad with swipe and tap gestures * Phone keyboard for fast text entry * Keyboard history for recently entered text * Quick reconnection to paired devices * Clear connection status * Works with Android TV and Google TV ## Easy to use Connect your iPhone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network, open Pultio, select your TV, confirm the pairing code, and start controlling your device. If your TV is not detected automatically, you can connect manually by entering its local IP address. ## Comfortable TV control Access the Home screen, go back, confirm selections, navigate menus, adjust the volume, mute audio, change channels, and control playback without reaching for the physical remote. The simple interface is designed for quick one-handed use. ## Faster text input Typing on a TV can be slow. Pultio lets you use your iPhone keyboard instead.

Available features depend on your TV model, software version, and the currently running app. Please note: * The power button may not wake every device. * Text input works only when the TV supports remote text entry. * Some remote functions may vary depending on the device. For best results: * Connect your phone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network. * Avoid guest networks that isolate devices. * Allow the app to access devices on your local network.
