Aside from some initial set up issues, this had been the only remote app to effectively give me a mouse for my Android TV boxes and my Nvidia shield. Despite having not been updated in 3 years, it still seems to work fine for me.

Don't waste your time on this one. Followed the instructions and when I connect it to the Andoid TV box with the USB cable it doesn't do anything. Total garbage.

This does not work. The same developer's Mouse Toggle used to work, but does not now. I use it for a 2nd gen firestick.

useless app. Can not do anything with this app. Absolute waste of time, energy, money and band width. Except the mouse function nothing works.

Not sure why the bad rating. This is the only remote woking with mouse mode. We should encourage the dev. I can now Click on those apps I sideloaded from my phone to my Android TV. This is relly cool. No need for a bluetooth mouth. Jus grab my phone and I can Click. I still use the physicall remote for some things. The only thin is the keyboard typing is very slow compared to other apps. I just switched to other remote for typing. But this one give me the mouse click which no other app has implemented. Great job. Love it. Save me money for multiple bluetooth mouses in the house.

Amazing app and one of a kind! Works perfectly on my shield (where you can already enable adb over wifi from the developer settings). It's a huge advantage to have a cursor controlled by my phone on the TV. Your app is also very useful to enable adb over wifi on any device via just a cable (you should consider putting this ability in a seperate app especially for this, would be useful for my (no shame) self-made adb shell Tasker plugin to activate adb over wifi from another phone instead of having to grab a pc). I do still have request, the dpad seems a bit slow (the mouse is faster) and I would very much like air-mouse support, where pointing and moving your phone would moving the cursor on the screen.
