Apps, typing and a calmer remote. • Samsung: your TV's apps (YouTube, Prime Video, Apple TV, Spotify and more) now appear as one-tap shortcuts on 2020 and newer models, and they show up instantly when you reopen the remote. • New: swipe pad. Turn it on in Settings to swipe on the pad to move and tap to select, like the Apple TV remote. • The TV list now shows which TVs are ready to control. • Clear, step-by-step help the first time you connect, and when a TV can't be reached. • Samsung keyboard: opens by itself when your TV asks for text, and tells you plainly when an app such as YouTube draws its own keyboard that a phone can't type into. • Less empty space above the keys on tall phones. • Settings: a "Feel it" row to test vibration.

Fixes and polish. • Fixed: buttons and switches in Settings didn't respond to taps. • Fixed: the Roku TV remote showed volume and channel keys twice. • Play/pause now pauses and resumes on LG and Samsung TVs. • "Turn on your TV" keeps trying while the TV starts up instead of giving up after four seconds. • The remote no longer shifts under your thumb right after connecting. • A press that can't reach your TV now says so instead of doing nothing. Still one purchase, no subscription, no ads, no account.

Zapp now answers back. • Every press shows: arrows light the edge of the pad, and OK sends a ring of light across it. • The OK key tells you when your TV is listening. It stays dim while Zapp connects and lights up the moment the TV answers. • Fixed: pressing near the inner edge of an arrow could send OK instead. Arrows now get every press meant for them. • LG: "Allow Zapp on your TV" now appears only once your TV is actually showing the prompt. • LG pointer: the trackpad lights up under your thumb and shows each click. • "Vibrate on press" off now means off everywhere, including app shortcuts, the pointer and the keyboard screen. • A more polished keyboard screen, TV list and first launch. Still one purchase, no subscription, no ads, no account.
