Boxee Thumb Remote (v. 20120806) Разработано Menny Even Danan |
**NOTE: This app has been retired! Which means that I will not provide updates, and Boxee.tv is not going to be supported.
This is the simplest WiFi remote for Boxee you'll find!
With only your thumb, you can control your Boxee. You don't even have to look at the remote app in your phone, just swipe away :)
Navigation with this remote is done by swipe gestures: swipe your thumb up, to navigate up in Boxee. Swipe down to navigate down, etc. Tap to select an item in Boxee.
Simple, ah?
There are other features too:
* Auto detection of a Boxee server.
* Physical BACK button is mapped to Boxee's BACK (set in app settings).
* Android soft-keyboard will send keys to Boxee, e.g., when there is a text-box open in Boxee.
* Seek to a specific time by tapping the progress bar.
* Automatically pauses a playing video upon a phone call!
* Support for password protected Boxee
* And more!
[2013-06-24] A Google User: Awesome The app found my Boxee as soon as I started it up. That was it fir setup, no fuss. Was blown away when my phone rang and it paused Boxee automatically! A must have even for those whose dog didn't chew the factory Boxee remote control! |

[2013-05-30] A Google User: The Best Boxee Remote For me this is by far the best mobile phone remote you can get; it is so easy to use. However, I can only comment as someone who has Boxes on an Iomega device. I wish the developer hadn't opted to stop developing the app, but my thanks to him for sharing it with us. |
|
[2013-05-19] A Google User: Love it This is a great app works great im using it on my s4 the only bad thing about the app is u cant turn your boxee on if you could do that it would be a 5 star |
|
[2013-05-07] A Google User: Great addition you boxee Thx much to dev for this Great remote. Works very well. Great job. |
|
[2013-04-29] A Google User: Awesome remote control The best part is that I can use it without looking at it! It's that simple. Oh, it also has a keyboard. Perfect app for my Boxee box. |
|
[2013-04-08] A Google User: Locks up the Boxee Screensaver The app is one of the best boxee remotes, but if your Boxee goes into screensaver mode while this remote app is running your Boxee will eventually freeze up requiring a hard reboot. This can burn your screen if you have a plasma. I think it may have something to do with all the extra information this app provides about the currently playing file. |
|
[2013-03-13] A Google User: awesome controls I know this app has been retired but it's still the best Boxee control out there. |
|
[2013-03-11] A Google User: Tushar Mohapatra cuttack india Just awesome app |

|
[2013-02-24] A Google User: Cool This is just wow |
|
[2013-02-15] A Google User: Works perfectly, even if Boxee doesn't! |
|
[2013-02-10] A Google User: Best boxee remote! Would there be anyway to browse the file to play on the phone? What i like the best is the pause on phone call! |
|
[2013-01-21] A Google User: Realos great Wotks a lot better than most of the other remote apps |
|
[2013-01-12] A Google User: Doesn't work anymore. I installed Boxee hack and and this remote will not work anymore. Not sure if anyone else has this problem but I will not get rid of the hack for this remote. |
|
[2013-01-06] A Google User: Great Love it, great for scrolling through long lists, rather than clicking the remote a billion times ;) 5 stars. |
|
[2012-12-28] A Google User: Excellent app! Amazing! Works as advertised. So simple to use. Very responsive way better than the boxee remote. Keep up the good work! |
|
[2012-12-18] A Google User: Amazing app! Works great with the boxes box. When a movie is playing the boxart is shown as well as in the notification bar. 100% recommend! |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Best Boxee app Its simple and just works. enough said! |
|
[2012-11-17] A Google User: Awesome! Don't use my boxee box remote anymore, thanks for developing this!!!!! |
|
[2012-11-17] A Google User: Wow Stunned by how good this app is. |
|
[2012-11-01] A Google User: Can't connect to my boxee All other apps seem to work but this one. |
|
[2012-10-31] A Google User: Awesome! Good bye clunky, creaky remote. This is so much better. |
|
[2012-10-22] A Google User: Love it This is incredibly useful. Even displays video title and images on the screen. Gives full access to all video controls and let's face it, typing on a mobile device is easier than typing on the Boxee's remote |
|
[2012-10-17] A Google User: Does not find server ever |
|
[2012-10-14] A Google User: Amazing almost magic like app If you have a boxee box and an android device this is fully with a play. Its almost as simple as point to do. Does flash up network connection lost a few times but it reconnects almost immediately. This has made my week with its ease of use. |
|
[2012-10-13] A Google User: Hard to manually input ip address Worked in the end tho :-) |
|
[2012-10-12] A Google User: Nice Good job dev like it... Thumb control nice and easy. |
|
[2012-10-07] A Google User: Takes a little experimenting, works great! My oroginal Boxee remote stopped working, I was very pleased to find several apps for android to replace it. This one is among the best. The auto-discover feature didn't work on my home network, but once I entered the address of the boxee manually, it was up and running in seconds. Great app! |
|
[2012-10-01] A Google User: great but security flaw love the app but when watching movie that has yet to be recognized by boxee, the app shows the filename with user name and password. |
|
[2012-10-01] A Google User: Great Works flawless with Boxee Box |
|
[2012-09-28] A Google User: AWESOME APP If you have a boxee you need this app! Enough said. |
|
[2012-09-25] A Google User: Great. Pauses media when on call Good thumb control. Great auto detection of boxee server. Pauses media on incoming call. |
|
[2012-09-12] A Google User: Good App on G2X My Boxee Box remote stopped working and I really wanted to watch a show. This app saved my bacon and is really nice to use. |
|
[2012-09-03] A Google User: Nice! |
|
[2012-09-03] A Google User: Great App! But.... Just one improvement, is it possible to make this app turn ON the Boxee Box instead of turning it ON from the hardware? |
|
[2012-09-01] A Google User: Love it |
|
[2012-08-30] A Google User: Works also on xbmc But slightly unstable. |
|
[2012-08-22] A Google User: Great app, gets the job done |
|
[2012-08-21] A Google User: Thanks Thanks for maintaining support! |
|
[2012-08-18] A Google User: Works very well on T10A ICS Took me a minute to figure out where the swipe zone was (the album art when in pandora app for example). Once I got the hang of it and adjusted the sensitivity, I was off and running! Was very impressed at how the app automatically detected my boxee box and how fluid and responsive it is. |
|
[2012-08-17] A Google User: App perfection Have this installed everywhere I can.Love this app. With two boxees in the house, the normal remotes play up but this app works everytime. |
|
[2012-08-17] A Google User: It works!!!!! I love how fast I can scroll through my media collection. Always connects to my boxee and the fast forward/rewind slider bar is great. Get this app!!! |
|
[2012-08-16] A Google User: Really is the best remote out there for any device This works incredibly well - and I was a skeptic to the "thumb remote". Turns out, it's the best way to get around Boxee and even puts their remote to shame. Very much worth the download for any Boxee owners. The two drawbacks are - the non-error errors (when Boxee is busy the remote flashes an error saying it can't connect, which is something I am sure is my fault for not changing the refresh rate); and Boxee's inability to deal with it as a mouse. The second is really Boxee's fault, not this app. |
|
[2012-08-07] A Google User: Love it Easy to use. Better than the boxee remote. |
|
[2012-08-07] A Google User: Best one yet. However, no mouse support like on iPhone (granular left right up down only... needs more fluid response for mouse) |
|
[2012-08-07] A Google User: Better than actual boxee remote Great app! Simple, straightforward and no flaws.addition of keyboard for android makes this five-star-worthy! |
|
[2012-08-06] A Google User: Brilliantly simple Means the developer put in many hours of thought and coding to keep it so simple. Well done. |
|
[2012-08-04] A Google User: Sweet! |
|
[2012-07-22] A Google User: Great remote Auto detection is a sweet feature. I've tried all the remote apps and this one is by far my favourite! |
|
[2012-07-19] A Google User: Awesome! Great app. Works like a charm on my Motorola Razr with a Boxee Box. |
|
[2012-07-19] A Google User: Plug & play Worked right away. One of those apps that make you laugh how awesome tech can be. |
|
[2012-07-14] A Google User: Excellent app but the underscore does not work on the Boxee |
|
[2012-07-14] A Google User: Excellent Works flawlessly with both my Boxee Box and Boxee on my media PC. Zero configuration required. |
|
[2012-07-14] A Google User: Best This app > stock remote |
|
[2012-07-13] A Google User: Great Only prob keeps saying server failed but might b my old laptops problem |
|
[2012-07-10] A Google User: Best app for boxee Broke my original boxee remote, but this is even better!! |
|
[2012-07-08] A Google User: Excellent app |
|
[2012-07-06] A Google User: Awesome app |
|
[2012-07-05] A Google User: Finally Finally a boxee app that plays nicely with the BB right out of the gate. Anxious to get a phone call to see how the playback pausing works! Galaxy Nexus on Android 4.1 |
|
[2012-07-04] A Google User: Works great Works great because in a dark room or with a person who can't see well the keyboard lights up; this makes it easy to use |
|
[2012-07-04] A Google User: Boxee Best app for boxee on the market. |
|
[2012-06-26] A Google User: Great remote control Better than the original remote. I run a universal remote for all other devices in my home theatre set up and this means I don't need to find the Boxee original when we decide to use the Boxee. |
|
[2012-06-25] A Google User: Awesome app! Works great and is so simple to use. |
|
[2012-06-25] A Google User: Perfect Exactly what I needed, and works flawlessly every time. HTC One X |
|
[2012-06-17] A Google User: Almost there Great app, but please make the seeking bar wider. |
|
[2012-06-14] A Google User: Cool app Works great. So easy and love the design layout. Also my phone volume buttons control the boxee volume (nexus s mobile) |
|
[2012-06-14] A Google User: Cool I like how this auto detected my boxee box but I'm not too happy about it displaying my username and password for SMB shares. |
|
[2012-06-10] A Google User: Good but could be better I would give it 5 stars but, I have 2 boxee boxes and there is no way to select between the boxes. It does an auto scan so I have to hope it finds the right box. Other than that great app. |
|
[2012-06-04] A Google User: Awesome |
|
[2012-06-03] A Google User: Great, but crushing after last update |
|
[2012-05-31] A Google User: Lies! He Lies it's not just the thumb I have to use my index and middle finger to control volume :p But never the less it's an awesome boxee remote and is the best of them all besides your not changing the volume THAT much :) major props to dev on this app and will be suggesting this to everyone I know!! |
|
[2012-05-27] A Google User: Awesome Pretty awesome. I wish it had more features... Like searching wikipedia or Amazon for whatever is currently playing. But as a remote, it works real well. |
|
[2012-05-27] A Google User: YaYuH U can control boxee from anywhere in the house! Killer app, now if u can get a remote desktop on boxee, holy awesome! Boxee box as a whole is slow, but will continue to remain loyal because it plays and recognizes mkv chapter names. |
|
[2012-05-25] A Google User: Returned boxee box Crashes all the time! |
|
[2012-05-19] A Google User: Does what it says |
|
[2012-05-12] A Google User: Better than official iOS app This is the best Boxee remote in the Android market. |
|
[2012-05-11] A Google User: Bad! This app really broke my boxee! It does not Power off via remote, can not Play .rar files anymore. If any one of you got a solution for this please tell me! |
|
[2012-05-07] A Google User: a good app....:)) |
|
[2012-05-03] A Google User: The easiest simplest remote Thank you Menny! Very pitty that Boxee team stopped supporting pc version |
|
[2012-05-03] A Google User: awesome So great. thanks! |
|
[2012-05-02] A Google User: Excellent |
|
[2012-04-27] A Google User: Best one yet Best boxee remote I have used but I can't get the skip forward and back buttons to work. Everything else works well. |
|
[2012-04-27] A Google User: Excellent Works great. No problems here. |
|
[2012-04-26] A Google User: Very handy My only criticism: when you use the phone keyboard it sends characters as capitals only, an issue for case-sensitive password entry fields |
|
[2012-04-23] A Google User: Great Does the job -very well |
|
[2012-04-22] A Google User: Best Boxee Remote App Clean and inspiring UI. Works like a charm, can auto-detect a running Boxee and connect automagickly. Light-weight app and can even be moved on SD. |
|
[2012-04-22] A Google User: Excellent Works perfectly as advertised, easy to learn and use, keyboard is very useful but would be perfect if one could switch to other languages. |
|
[2012-04-19] A Google User: Great! Really easy to use, very responsive and smooth |
|
[2012-04-17] A Google User: Amazing! Worked right off the bat, many cool features! |
|
[2012-04-09] A Google User: Can't login! All letters are caps. My password is lower case. Nice looking app though. |
|
[2012-04-02] A Google User: Great This is the best remote out there, but it can be a little buggy. Still very happy with it. |
|
[2012-03-31] A Google User: Best boxee remote by far Excellent. One with keyboard support. Any chance you could add a keyboard button that just brings up the number pad layout? |
|
[2012-03-25] A Google User: just works!!! |
|
[2012-03-24] A Google User: Work great on GNex.. Got a widget? Loving it but a bit too sensative |
|
[2012-03-24] A Google User: Very good It's not very easy to navigate |
|
[2012-03-23] A Google User: Wow I can't believe this is free, well done app. |
|
[2012-03-22] A Google User: 5/5 By far the best remote available. Very intuitive and can be used without ever looking at your phone. Just works. |
|
[2012-03-15] A Google User: Best one I've used so far. Excellent work. Super easy. Better than physical remote. |
|
[2012-03-14] A Google User: Does what it says on the tin I've been using this for 6 months and as long as the wifi signal is strong iron is great, with poor signal the actions get queued which can be frustrating when signal returns. Good job anyway dev! |
