@adigold1 This looks interesting in the fact that it works on the Mac as well. Otherwise, it seems a little better than the current Remote app but likely won't be as good when the one shown at WWDC is available.
@kenyarmosh @adigold1 with CiderTV for Mac you can pair version for iOS and Android without remote at all =) (for Apple TV 3) so you will never be afraid to lose the native remote or whatever ))
@adigold1 If you will need help - we have tutorial here - http://blog.ezzi.com/apple-tv-re... or you can contact anyone from our team or our support manager inside the app =) Enjoy!
@kenyarmosh @adigold1 it has OS X and Android version too, yes. But curious, how exactly updated Apple Remote app will be better?

CiderTV app is a unique and smooth alternative to Apple TV / Siri Remote. It is available for iOS, Android, Mac OS and Apple Watch. It works via WiFi and behaves like native Remote app by Apple, but more accurate and responsive. And no Apple TV jailbreak is needed.
This app has one killer feature. The remote pops up in the notification window after you add it as a widget. I use it daily to control my Apple TV without unlocking my phone. Super handy. 📺
Been using the Mac app for a few days never and it rarely works. Went through the pairing process (adding a BT keyboard to the Apple TV) and it worked for a bit, but it just doesn't seem to work over long periods of time. Any tips?
The screenshot implies CiderTV can control volume - how does this work? I was under the impression the AppleTV remote used IR to control TV volume.
@andrewjamesford Interesting, thanks. I don't think it helps me since my tv sound is routed through a Sonos Playbar. The AppleTV Remote works really nicely with my setup and required no configuration or programming.
@mvboeke @andrewjamesford yes, CiderTV can link to Smart TVs and control their volume via DLNA, although compatibility with sound bars and playbars is under development (may not work well now)
Thanks guys. I broke my remote a couple months ago and couldn't find any alternatives since I don't use Siri.
@seanpetersdotca glad to hear =) If you will leave a review in the AppStore, we will be totally happy =)
@ourielohayon hi! You are right, CiderTV works like native Remote app by Apple, but it is more accurate, responsive, stable, lets you to control multiple Apple TVs and linked Smart TV volume at the same time and - what is most convenient - you can control your Apple TV even without unlocking your iOS device. Besides that, if you lost your native Apple TV / Siri remote - you can pair manage without it (just take a look on CiderTV version for Mac)
Typing my Netflix email and password with the Apple TV remote is such a pain. Upvoted!
Cool app. Unfortunately will be unnecessary once tvOS10 comes out with the new apple remote app
@rohitd21 glad to hear =) If you will leave a review in the AppStore, we will be totally happy =)
