What the Android TV remote app does
Android TV Remote Control turns your smartphone into a remote for televisions. The listing names Android TV, Google TV, Roku TV, LG, Fire TV, Samsung and Xiaomi sets, plus insignia TVs, so one app is meant to cover several brands. It suits people who want to run a TV from their phone in place of the physical handset.
The phone then covers the usual handset jobs: volume, power on and off, switching channels and moving around the menus. The listing presents these as a single remote for a mixed set of TVs, not one app per brand.
Touchpad, volume and power controls
A touchpad screen lets you move the cursor or focus around the TV interface using finger movements on the phone. This takes the place of pressing directional buttons on a handset.
Power on and off and volume controls are also on the phone. Together with channel switching, they cover basic control of playback without the original remote.
Voice search and casting media to the TV
Voice search lets you speak a query into the phone rather than typing it with the TV's on-screen keyboard. The listing also describes smart voice control for Android TV.
Screen mirroring sends videos, photos and music from the phone to the TV screen. This is the feature for playing your own media on the television.
Channel store and private listening
The app includes a TV app and channel store. You can browse channels there and install them on the TV from the phone.
Private listening sends the TV's sound to headphones, so the audio can be heard without playing it through the room speakers.
