Whether you misplaced your physical remote or just prefer using your phone, everything gets a whole lot more convenient.

App Features

  • GeForce NOW Game Controls: Got a GeForce NOW session coming up? Switch between games, log in, and manage your sessions easily using intuitive controls that sync between your phone and your SHIELD device.

  • SHIELD TV Remote Replacement: Don’t have your SHIELD remote nearby? No worries. Your phone can double as the remote with a D-pad for navigation, quick-select buttons, and full Android controls like Back, Home, Play, Pause, and Start. It’s all at your fingertips.

  • Volume at Your Command: Need to turn the sound up (or down) in a hurry? Just use your mobile device’s volume buttons—no need to hunt down extra remotes.

  • Easy Connection: Setup’s a breeze. Make sure your devices are on the same WiFi network, have your SHIELD updated (version 7.1 or later does the trick), and you’re set.
