what's the best android tv remote app put there right now? (free and paid)

by throwaway2so4

Edit 1: Google home app can only control the volume and cast my screen, that's it. Do not suggest it.

Edit 2: Unfortunately Android Tv Remote Service probably have some bad issues and thats why some apps, including the official Xiaomi remote app, cant recognize and see my Mi Box.

Edit 3: Zank Remote App works, without a bunch of annoying ads. the app is kinda unintuitive, but hey, it works, despite all other apps that I tried :))

Edit 4: for the love of god this is so weird, I tried installing and checking google home app(that the majority is suggesting) and found no controls or remote button, and after I tried to install and check it for the fifth time, it suddenly worked, giving me the remote button and all the controls, although the keyboard option once was there and now is gone. what?

Edit 5: Apparantly I have gone back to Zank remote app, installed it, then i reopened Google Home, and the keyboard was there.... help, this is misery

I have a Mi Box S 4K and the Mi Remote App can't see my Mi Box (thanks Xiaomi). so I am looking for an actually usefull and well made tv remote app for an android phone. If all free ones are bad then you can suggest paid apps too.

thank you!

I use one just called Android TV. Couldn't find the dev's name, but it's version 1.1.0.387### (387 something, couldn't copy it). I don't use it often, and mostly for the keyboard (text to screen). But I'm picky about these things and it works alright.

CetusPlay might be worth a try.

If you can't use the Google TV app/remote, try this one...

This one works great for me via Bluetooth. Also comes in handy if you use the internet browser often. Custom remotes are a nice addition as well

Just found this on Google search. I found the soft droid one, in the app store. It's able to control my tv and cable box separately. Samsung for the tv and comcast stb for the cable box.
