ViMovies for Android TV
ViMovies was designed for Android TV first, not squeezed onto it afterwards. Every screen is built for a D-pad remote: large focus states, a horizontal content rail layout, and playback controls you can operate without looking at the remote.

Setting It Up on Android TV
- Grab the APK from the download page using your TV's browser, or push it from your phone with Send Files to TV.
- Open the file, grant the one-time unknown-sources permission, and install.
- Launch ViMovies from your apps row and pick something to watch.
Tips for the Best Experience on a TV Box
- Wired Ethernet (or 5 GHz Wi-Fi) noticeably reduces buffering on HD streams.
- If your box has limited storage, point downloads at a USB drive in the app settings.
- Clear the app cache occasionally on low-RAM devices to keep browsing snappy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Android TV devices are supported?
Any device running Android TV 9 or newer works well — Nvidia Shield, Xiaomi Mi Box, TiVo Stream, and the Android TV software built into Sony, TCL, Hisense, and Philips TVs.
Does ViMovies appear in the Android TV app row?
Yes. After installation the app registers a proper TV launcher icon, so it sits in your apps row like any Play Store app.
Can I use a game controller or air mouse?
Yes, though you won't need one. The interface is fully navigable with the standard D-pad remote.
Does it support 4K TVs?
The app runs at your TV's native resolution. Stream quality depends on the source, with HD available for most titles.
