• building a simple and fast synchronization procedure;
• testing and implementing additional capabilities that the app was going to deliver on top of the standard Smart-TV features;
• enabling the broad compatibility with numerous Android TV boxes;
• designing an intuitive interface that would both replicate existing feature sets of TVs and provide a touch-screen remote control.

The idea behind the Handy Smart TV was to simplify smart TV controls by synchronizing smartphones with Android television sets. Our role was to provide a vision on design solutions, build the app from scratch, and enable seamless integration with numerous Android TV devices.  

• Synchronization with TV box: via Wi-Fi;
• Synchronization modes: active and passive (the passive mode allows for operating television software via a phone simultaneously to watching TV);
• Supported features: text input, multi-touch, both text and voice search;
• Software and hardware compatibility: all Android versions from 4.0 and higher; Android-TV boxes based on the Rockchip RK 3288/3188/3066 processors;
• Design: replicating TV layout with use of the XML language; an integrated remote control tool;
• Database and data interchange: SQLite and JSON.

Today more than 100 thousand people are utilizing the app to operate their Android-based TVs. Handy Smart TV is one of the most efficient solutions on the market that allow users to avoid purchasing expensive additional control tools.
