North Vancouver, Canada, November 7, 2014 (Newswire.com) - TouchSquid Technology officially announces the release of the the new TouchSquid GR remote control app on Google Play. Now on its fifth generation, the new TouchSquid GR remote control app is a complete rewrite of the previous product and incorporates many new features and user-interface elements (mostly suggested by existing users).

We’re constantly racing to add support for new tablets/phones, to add new devices to our database, and to implement new features.

TouchSquid’s universal remote app has always been a high-end product, comparable in functionality to such physical remotes as those produced by Pronto and Crestron (except much easier to configure and requiring far less investment). TouchSquid GR adds syncing of Activities across multiple remotes, configurable popup menus (allowing more commands on a remote control screen without taking more space), and improved customization.
A free trial of the TouchSquid GR remote app is available in the Google Play Store.
TouchSquid Technology first introduced its universal remote app in December 2010, when it worked on TouchSquid’s own proprietary tablets with built-in IR blasters, as well as any generic Android tablet using external IR blasters such as those made by Global Cache, Keene, and IR Trans. It wasn’t until Samsung came out with the Tab Plus in April 2011 (so one could turn a Samsung tablet into a Samsung remote for a home theater system), that TouchSquid sales started to take off.
Today, TouchSquid supports the internal IR on several name-brand Android tablets and smartphones (as well as continuing to support external blasters). That support list now includes, but is not limited to, the Samsung Tab 2, Tab 3, Tab 4, Tab Plus, Samsung Note 3, Note 7, Note 8, Note 10, Samsung Galaxy S4, S5, Galaxy Mega, the LG G3, the HTC One, and the HTC One Max.
