Game controller and motion remote

Two Pro extras for games and menus.

Game controller

A full-screen game pad: a big D-pad, A (OK) and B (Back), Start (play/pause) and Home. Open it from the More menu (on iPad and Mac, the sidebar) and turn your iPhone sideways for the best grip.

Have a real game controller? Connect it to your iPhone or iPad in Settings > Bluetooth, then turn on Game Controllers in TVkip's settings. Its D-pad and buttons control the TV.

Motion remote

On TVs with an on-screen pointer, like LG's Magic Remote cursor, the iPhone can be an air mouse.

  1. Open the touchpad and choose Motion.
  2. Hold the button and point: turning and tilting your iPhone moves the pointer. Release to stop.
  3. Tap to click.

Motion needs a gyroscope, so it isn't available on a Mac. TVkip uses the motion sensors only while you hold the button.
