Hello and Welcome to another TV box stop review.
On today's presentation, I'm featuring a cool new app that's going to change the way you
control your TV box or fire stick, and give you the answer to replacing your stock infrared
remote.
This app, is the Cetusplay Android TV box remote control app.
After the break I'll do a full review of its features along with a live demonstration,
so stay tuned, because that's coming up next.
Welcome back.
By now most of us have either heard about, or have already purchased an Android TV box.
And if you are a subscriber to my channel you would already know the many different
things you can do on your box.
However, each one of these functions can sometimes require a different controller.
For example.
You can use this stock infrared remote to navigate the launcher and to stream movies
and TV shows via Kodi and other streaming APKs without problems.
The same can not be said if you use this remote to browse the web that requires fast mouse
and keyboard functions, Hence why they created the omni directional Bluetooth air mouse and
mini touchpad keyboard like the one I have here.
This covers both the function of the infrared remote, your online browsing and social media
functions, and more.
Then you have the gamepad controller that we use to play Android games that the infrared
remote and the mini touchpad keyboard cannot cover as well as this gamepad can.
This is even more troubling especially when it comes to key mapping applications that
assign gamepad keys to specific game commands.
What if there was a way to control every basic and advanced function of your TV box using
a single device without purchasing any new hardware.
Well actually there is.
This is where the Cetusplay app comes in.
With only your smart phone and the Cetusplay app, you can control the launcher, browse
the web and use social media apps, and play Android games in full gamepad mode without
switching to another device.
Let's take an in-depth review of this application.
First lets start with installing the app.
Using your smartphone or tablet, open the play store and type in Cetusplay into the
search field.
Here you will see two versions of the application, the Cetusplay Remote, and the Cetusplay receiver.
The one you would want to install on your smartphone or tablet is the Cetusplay Remote,
simply because you'll be using your mobile device to control your TV box.
And the other version which is the receiver version is to be installed on the box.
Let's now configure the app.
To configure the Cetusplay app, you must ensure that both the TV box and your mobile device
are connected on the same WiFi network.
If this is not done the app will not work.
Once you're connected to the same network, and the correct apps are installed respectively
, its time for the magic to happen.
To start using the app.
First you must open the receiver application on the TV box until you see this screen.
Then you have to open the remote app on your mobile device.
When the app starts it will scan the network for any device that has the Cetusplay receiver
running on it and it will display that device on the radar for you to select.
Simply click on the device in the radar and once you see a remote appear on the screen
you are ready to go.
As I mentioned earlier, the Cetusplay app is the one app to deliver all your navigation
needs on your box, So let's see what this app can do.
The app has a total of 5 modes to cover any function.
First, I'll perform some basic functions on the launcher simulating the stock infrared
remote using the Dpad mode.
On the screen what you'll see is a replica of what looks like the remote used in the
Nvidia shield.
And watch as I navigate the launcher.
As you can see the controls are quick and responsive, and is a direct replica of the
stock remote, and even better because it's omni directional on your mobile device.
The second mode is the touchpad mode.
In this mode, the Cetusplay app simulates a fully functional touchscreen controller,
just as you have on your smartphone or tablet.
And again, I'll perform some basic function on the launcher.
Beautiful.
This mode too is quick and responsive with swipe and double tap functions.
The third mode is my favorite.
And this is the mouse mode.
The Cetusplay app takes control of your box with a fully functional mouse cursor, it comes
with tap and two finger swipe scrolling functions.
I will just browse the web for a second to show how is works.
As you can see you have full mouse capability and the ability to browse the web and use
social media sites.
The forth mode is the numeric keyboard mode.
This mode is a combination between the Dpad mode and the numeric keyboard which allows
you to enter numbers into search fields and text fields.
Watch as I enter numbers into the search box.
So this mode also performs OK, and if you'd like to enter text into the field simply select
this option here and click send.
The fifth and final mode is the gamepad mode.
The gamepad mode uses a virtual gamepad on your screen and it allows you to play Android
games using your mobile device as a game controller.
Let's give it a try and see how it works.
The Gamepad mode ran quite well, and this covers the final function of a gamepad control.
So viewers, there you have it.
This was a review of the Cetusplay app, one of the coolest apps specifically developed
as a one stop solution to all your TV box navigation needs.
To get your copy of the Cetusplay app, download it for free on the Google Play store and on
the Apple store, and install it as directed in my video, available for Android phones
and tablets, Amazon fire sticks, and Apple IOS iphone and ipad devices.
Also, there is an ads free version which is the version used in this video, where you
can pay a small fee to remove all the ads which I highly recommend.
