Full remote screen is provided by default, and three tabs are provided at the bottom of the screen to help you control connected devices with ease. Onscreen keyboard shows up automatically when you need to enter text.
-Game Controller - With this feature, your mobile device can control games on TV. Full and Simple modes are available. Turn on Gyro function on your mobile device, and control games by tilting your mobile device.
-Settings - You can fine-tune control for TV and BD by adjusting gesture sensitivity in your mobile device.
The application would also work as Wi-Fi remote control for Samsung Smart TV, as long as the mobile phone is connected to the same wireless Router as the TV.
The software was designed to work with D7000, D8000, and D9500 series Smart TVs, and can be downloaded and installed on the Galaxy S II at the moment, though it should be released on more devices later this year.
