Swipe to move and tap to select without repeatedly pressing directional buttons. ## Local connection Commands are sent directly between your iPhone and TV over your local Wi-Fi network. No additional servers or developer settings are required for normal operation. The app clearly displays whether your TV is connecting, connected, or disconnected, making it easy to reconnect whenever necessary. ## Compatibility Pultio is designed for compatible Android TV and Google TV televisions, streaming devices, and media boxes that support remote pairing. 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. Pultio is an independent application and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google or any TV manufacturer.
