Boost Your Gaming Experience

The all new Apple TV app is best suited for the gamers as it gives you a marvelous gaming experience by virtue of its Tilt Gaming Support. This feature makes it even better than the physical remote. With Tilt Gaming functionality, it lets you play popular motion control games like Asphalt 8 Airborne. Playing Asphalt 8 on your iPhone or iPad is one thing but when you can play it on a gigantic TV screen with even better tilt controls, it is really something that you don’t wanna miss.

How To Use The Remote App?

First of all, you need to pair the remote app with your Apple TV box. You can do so by means of default bluetooth pairing, the same process that is used to pair the previous remote app version. Once you are successfully paired to the Apple TV, you can then use your iPhone to control your Apple TV enabled television set via the new remote app.

With the new remote app, you can do almost anything that Apple TV allows with touch gestures. Besides, typing is very easy since you are using iPhone for the purpose instead of the physical remote. The remote app also lets you switch to the gaming mode with simplified gaming controls.

The new remote app for Apple TV is specially designed for iOS 10 devices and is compatible with all the iOS 9 and later versions. This means that the iPhone devices with older operating systems won’t support the app. Similarly, your apple TV needs to have tvOS 6.2.1 or later versions.
