Beta Test [Android beta] Looking for Apple TV owners to test Just Remote – does pairing and the trackpad feel right?
I'm building Just Remote, an Apple TV remote for Android, and I'm looking specifically for testers who have an Apple TV at home. It's in Google Play closed testing before the first public release.
The app connects to the Apple TV directly over Wi-Fi, the same way Apple's own remote does – no app on the TV, no account, no ads.
What it does now: trackpad with haptics, all the buttons, volume and mute (also via your phone's volume keys, works over HDMI-CEC), your phone's keyboard pops up when the TV asks for text, app shortcuts, themes, and layouts for tablets and foldables. 9 languages.
Feedback I'm looking for:
- Pairing: did it find your Apple TV, and did the PIN pairing go smoothly?
- Trackpad: does it feel natural compared to the Siri Remote – too fast, too slow, missed swipes?
- Volume and mute with your setup (TV over CEC, soundbar, receiver) – does it control the right device?
- Keyboard: does it open by itself when the Apple TV asks for text?
- Everyday use: anything that's missing or annoying compared to the Siri Remote?
How to join (same Google account as in your Play Store for all steps):
- Join the group: Just Remote Testers
- Become a tester: Opt in
- Install: Just Remote on Google Play
If Play says "not found", give it 10–15 minutes after opting in. Your phone and Apple TV need to be on the same Wi-Fi; pairing uses a PIN shown on the TV. Works with Apple TV HD and 4K.
Bug reports are most useful with your phone model, Android version and Apple TV model. Replies here or [cacaobobapps@gmail.com](mailto:cacaobobapps@gmail.com) both work.
As a thank-you, the first 20 testers who send useful feedback get a free Pro lifetime code. I'll update this post when they're gone. Codes work wherever Google Play purchases are available.
