Google has released a new app for the Apple iPhone, the Google TV remote, which will let you control your Google TV or Google TV set-top box from your Apple iPhone.
The app has been available on Google’s Android platform since last December, and iPhone users can now download it for free from iTunes. It will also work on the iPod Touch and the iPad, basically any iOS device that is running iOS 3 or higher.
Features of the Google TV iPhone App
The Google TV iPhone app has a range of features that lets you control all the functions of your Google TV device. One of the standout features is the ability to use voice search to find your favorite TV shows. This can be particularly useful when you are not in the mood to type out long show titles or navigate through multiple menus. Simply speak the name of the show, and the app will do the rest.
In addition to voice search, the app offers a full-function remote control interface. This means you can navigate through your Google TV’s menus, adjust the volume, and even control playback with ease. The app also supports gesture-based controls, allowing you to swipe and tap your way through the interface, making it a more intuitive experience compared to traditional remote controls.
Compatibility and User Experience
The app is designed to be compatible with a wide range of iOS devices, including the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. As long as your device is running iOS 3 or higher, you should be able to download and use the app without any issues. This broad compatibility ensures that a large number of users can take advantage of the app’s features.
User reviews have generally been positive, with many praising the app’s ease of use and the convenience of having a remote control on their phone. Some users have noted that the voice search feature is particularly accurate, making it a standout feature of the app. Others have appreciated the gesture-based controls, which they find to be more intuitive than traditional button-based remotes.
Another useful feature is the ability to browse the web directly from the app. This can be particularly handy if you want to look up information about a show or movie while you are watching it. The app also integrates with other Google services, such as YouTube, allowing you to easily find and play videos from your favorite channels.
