It used to work more, but recently the app doesn't communicate with my shield properly (I cannot use directions, select, go back etc but the page with icons I can open netflix for example). I've tried making sure everything updated, rebooting, uninstall-reinstall. Last time this happened it magically started working a week later. If you want a NVDIA shield do not lose the remote because the app is unreliable and you will be left unable to watch anything.

App works great, I love it. WHEN IT WORKS. It only works on first launch. As soon as you lock your phone or multi-task to another app, the app looks like it is still connected, but none of the buttons work until you kill the app and re-open it. I've tried turning off battery optimization and stuff, it's not related to that. The app is broken. TERRIBLE bug for a remote control where I quickly want to pause or change volume, and I need to kill and re-open.

Either the app is flawed or the shield doesn't work properly with the app. In any case the app persistently drops it's connection to the box. If you want to quickly pause or change volume during viewing you can't. The app needs to be restarted. The only reason im using the app now is because of the remote always telling me my batteries are drained even though they were changed just several weeks prior. Shield is no longer the best option, better and cheaper options exist & im dtiching my shield
