Swipe Remote: A Convenient Streaming Device Replacement Remote
Swipe Remote is a user-friendly app designed to function as a replacement remote for popular streaming devices. Say goodbye to the constant search for lost remotes with this convenient solution. Unlike traditional remotes, Swipe Remote employs a touch pad interface on your iPhone, offering a more intuitive control experience. By translating 9 common buttons into gestures, it simplifies navigation without the need to divert your attention from the screen. Noteworthy is its compatibility with iOS13's dark mode, ensuring comfortable usage even in dimly lit environments.
The app not only supports gesture-based control but also provides a widget remote accessible directly from the iOS Today screen. While gestures are disabled in this mode, it grants quick access to essential functions of your streaming device. Moreover, Swipe Remote features a user-friendly channels screen, enabling easy browsing and launching of installed channels without cumbersome on-screen navigation. Simplifying text input, the app includes a keyboard feature, streamlining the process of entering text on your streaming device. Additionally, for users with multiple devices, Swipe Remote offers device switching and personalized device naming for effortless identification. Setting up the app is straightforward, requiring your iOS device to be on the same network as your streaming device.
