Smart Remote is an Android app that functions both as a visual TV guide and virtual remote.
Honestly, this app doesn't do anything that hasn't been done already. However, it's the first to pack in so many features that are so integrated and readily available. As a universal remote, it lets the user control almost any modern TV. It actually is more universal than many physical versions of this product. The visual TV guide allows the user to instantly parse through the available shows and even select a TV channel by clicking on the guide.
The universal remote option has a huge array of options. Essentially, if there's a menu option on the TV, you can now do it through your phone. The TV guide functionality is also always up to date. The user can select what TV provider they use so they can tune directly to a channel from one tap on a TV guide option. Smart Remote also lets the user record shows (use it as a DVR). This feature will only work if your hardware is equipped to handle it.
The interface is particularly astounding on this app. It's professionally done and is very responsive. The app itself functions well, and the options are very clear. There's a lot of feedback, so in the event that there's an error, you'll be able to trace it back to either the app or your TV. Overall, it's a great product for any "Smart TV" owner.
Pros:
- Very fast and responsive app
- Innovative product bundling, never done before
- Works with most new TVs
Cons:
- Individual functions available in other apps
- Requires a large amount of pre-use configuration
numerous bugfixes and enhancements
