## Description

## Overview

Fochro - Remote for Chromecast lets you control Chromecast with Google TV from your phone or tablet. It provides a fully functional remote, a large touchpad for easy navigation, one-tap app launches (Netflix, YouTube, and more), and a dedicated tab listing installed apps. You can also type using a built-in keyboard to speed up searches and text entry.

How it works: connect your phone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network and follow the in-app setup. The app automatically connects to your Chromecast, and supports both Chromecast with Google TV (HD and 4K). Note: this is a third-party remote and is not an official Google product. For privacy and terms, see the linked pages.
