Unified Remote
But Unified Remote is really easy to use and doesn't need you to go through boring setup processes as it only needs simple installation on both devices and then you're good to go.
Sleek design that's easy-to-use and works perfectly
The app doesn't really have a tutorial, but it doesn't need one since the only thing that you must do is install the software on your computer and your Android device.
Afterward, you're good to go, Unified Remote doesn't need users to log in with a password and doesn't leave open windows on your screen, it simply connects the two devices via WiFi, so make sure you use the same internet connection for both of them.
When you're done with the minimal setup, you can start using the app. You'll get instructions for each function that you wish to use and the app even comes with a whole set of settings that you can make to the interface.
Customize the app to your liking
Before you start using the app to its fullest, better check out the many neat customization options. You can access them from the side menu and change the theme of the app. You can also switch from different layouts, a list or a grid.
The app lets you select the remotes that you'd like to be featured on the home screen. You can also have the app automatically connect to the server in case the connection turns out.
Use your phone as a remote control for your PC
The app is filled with all sort of brilliant features, it lets you transform your phone's screen into a remote control and lets you do all the things you normally do within the app. Unified Remote can also be used to manage files on your computer. You can access them easily or turn your phone into a keyboard.
Other than that, you can use the app as a general media remote to pause or fast-forward when watching movies or listening to music. You can also shutdown, restart, lock or put your computer into sleep mode. Still, not all features are free of charge some of them can only be unlocked if you upgrade to the premium version for 2.99$.
