How to install Android TV Remote Control APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download Android TV Remote Control APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.google.android.tv.remote-v1.1.0.3876957-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

1 ★A very good move. It should not work when your mobile tethers hotspot to TV. Bluetooth connectivity, it is just a dumb one. Never use this app if you tether hotspot from your phone to provide internet to your TV.
4 ★Works most of the time, but it never lets me use the keyboard on my phone option. It gets very annoying having to move over to each letter instead of just typing it out on my phone.
3 ★Works fine, with two major issues. 1. Should default to device selection. The app usually turns on a random Android TV device when it launches, which is not helpful. 2. Mouse support (with scrolling) would be very useful. Some apps really benefit from having that capability.
5 ★Works best Except the keypad feature does not work on my tablet I use this app on my Lenovo tab 4 10 The app would be a lot better if there was a joystick so that we can play games on Android TV without the need of an actual joystick Overall the app is very good . The developer just needs to fix the keyboard feature of the app.
5 ★Fantastic this made my life so easy I don't have the remote with touch control which is so easy to use as compared to tactile button remote, also for those who don't know know to control volume go to this app connect and use volume rocker on your phone I also wanna tell that I use the slide keyboard very much and this made my life very easy
5 ★Best remote app, and even the best remote available, period. Very smooth, precise, and no latency or lag at all. By far the best way to operate an Android TV.
1 ★I downloaded this app for my streaming box and kodi system. The app is useless I've granted it all permissions ; location and microphone, phone and storage, however it does nothing. The app has no settings so there is nothing to adjust, I open the app on my tablet then I open my streaming box and nothing happens. I open the app on my streaming box the only thing in can check besides granting permissions is the apps open source licenses. Force stop - nothing.
2 ★I have 3 high-end Sony Android TVs in the house and one entry class Vizio. The app for the Vizio is light years ahead of this app. Where is the Power button? Where are the volume buttons? Where are the app-direct buttons? I LOVE Android TV, but this app needs a serious top to bottom upgrade.
1 ★Why would someone use this app. There is no power button which is the key feature of a remote control. Everytime I have to turn my TV on I need to find my TVs remote control. And we don't have any smart features for Android TVs like remote touch functionality. please update this app.
3 ★Works mostly. But honestly that's not good enough for an app from Google. This should be an app that should work better and have more features than it does. And the fact that the last time it was updated was 3 years ago but they're still putting out new Android TVs is ridiculous
3 ★Reason for 3 start rating is this remote doesn't have switch on and switch off option. Quiet surprised to see this is not available. So u need to reach the actual tv remote to on ur tv.
3 ★It's good but whenever you use this you always need to look on your phone to see where the buttons are which is so frustrating So I will recommend to provide some gestures support on this to make it easier
