WOW! Ultra TV Android App Now Available

I know I've been asked by countless people for this app. It is now officially released on Google Play. You can download the app here.

Tried it out on my Samsung Note 3.

It's ok. Little bit of lag from when I push the button to when it finally does it.

I like the channel guide though

Amazon doesn't seem to have it in the kindle app store. Is the apk available to download somewhere?

It says:
'This app is incompatible with all of your devices.'
So my evo phone must be too old, and kindle fires and google play don't know about each other.

Amazon doesn't use Android, they use Fire OS for their operating system. While a fork of the Android OS, Fire OS devices are exclusively tied to Amazon's software and content ecosystems; they do not offer any access to Google Play

Yes, you can't access google play, but if you can download the .apk file for an app it should install and run on the fire.

It's pretty simple really. Go to the play store on your computer, look up the app, then replace the "play.google.com" in the address bar with "apk-dl.com". Easy peasy...

You can not watch content on your device. What you can do is control your media players with your device. Select show or recording and then use the device as a remote.

Speaking of remote functions my Samsung S3 works fine for selecting from the guide or recorded shows but the remote can not find the players. It says " not found on local network."

Why would I use this to control my device instead of the remote? What good is it if it cannot let me view recordings remotely?

Can I set a recording from it? Otherwise, I don't see the point.

But I can already do that from a web browser. Streaming from the gateway to my phone and tablet is what I have been waiting for.

The interface on the phone app is better/faster.

Was looking at the screen shots of this app and I can't wait to have Ultra TV in Rapid City to set recordings on my DVR when I'm on the road.

From what I understand is you can set and delete recordings with it. I think the real purpose of it is for when you're not physically in front of the TV.

I got the remote working. I had to connect via the gateways wifi to use it.

The app is inconsistent.

Via the internet I can manage/set/delete recordings. I can also start playback or a recording or tune to a channel via the internet.

I have to be connected to the gateways wifi to use the remote function. I can understand this requirement. What is inconsistent is the fact that I can play a recording via the internet. play and remote should follow the same rules.

I have mine working on my own AP. I have the gateway handling giving out IP addresses, not my AP.
