TELUS has released the Optik Smart Remote app for Android. The app, already available for Apple devices, allows you to control the TV and set or manage recordings on the go. Using this app you can ultimately ditch your remote, and even the traditional guide on the TV.
The Optik Smart Remote links with your digital box and offers you simple navigation through channels and TV guide. You can search everything using a simple swipe and easily track your favourite shows or see what is trending. All of this without even interrupting the show your watching, you can search for other shows, get more info from sources like IMDB and Wikipedia without even changing channels or obscuring your favourite show.
The Optik Smart Remote app for Apple and Android devices also contains new features. You can scroll through a channel list and quickly jump to different categories of the guide. To make it even easier you can sort shows by date, series or title.
Optik Smart Remote is available for free on the Play Store, so if you’re a TELUS customer feel free to download. You must have the Optik TV service to use this app, but if you’re not you can always use it to try to turn down the volume on your Optik using neighbour.
