Frequently asked questions
Do widgets work when the app is closed?
Yes. A press sends the command to your TV without opening the app. If the TV can't be reached, the widget tells you, and a tap opens the app.
Can I add widgets for two TVs?
Yes. Each widget controls the TV you chose when you added it, so you can add one for each TV.
