A must have app when using an Apple TV
I’ve never understood why so many people have negative reviews about this app. My family and I have been using this application since around 2011 with our first Apple TV (2nd generation) using multiple iPhone 4’s. Through the years we’ve upgraded to new iPhone hardware (4S, 5, 6, 6S, 7, XS) and new iOS software as follows as well as newer Apple TV models (3rd gen, 4th gen, 4K) and still use multiple on our home network. I (We) have never had a single issue with performance or operation of how this app works- period. Most of the negative reviews that I’ve seen are in relation to what sounds as potential networking related issues as this application uses your network to communicate, hardware limitations as to what is wanted out of the application or user error... take it for what it’s worth everyone in my family uses this app for a remote to control multiple Apple TV units throughout are home and none of us have ever had any issues.

Works perfectly for me.
I’m honestly not sure what all the negative reviews are about. I just got my Apple TV and this app connected immediately and works flawlessly. Very easy to use. It actually solved a huge problem of mine which was difficulty of typing out email addresses and passwords when signing in to apps. When using the Apple TV remote app and you go to fill out an email or password, it pops up on your phone and you can easily type it out using your phones keyboard like a text message. Huge time savor. That alone made me love the app. Navigating is just as easy as on the remote. Honestly not sure what all the complaints are about.

Volume Control!
A little tip for those of you who want to control volume on your Apple TV with the app. It’s not obvious but very intuitive once you figure it out. When the app is open, manipulating the volume buttons on your iPhone manipulates the volume on the TV. There aren’t any onscreen buttons, but I’d rather have hardware buttons anyway for something like volume. Other than that, I’ve always loved this app and have never had any issues. It’s super clutch when I can’t find that Apple TV remote (at least half the time)
