The list of benefits continues to grow longer by the day. In every few days, there is a new phone getting launched. Of course, it’s one of the reasons we change our phone and opt for an upgraded one.

Has it ever happened to you that you wanted to watch something good on TV without anything specific in mind, and you ended up spending a lot of time browsing channels to the least avail? Or maybe you had been looking forward to watching a fascinating documentary for a week and you totally forgot about it?

It’s quite a common occurrence especially in urban lives where we fail to make the most out of the time we intend to spend on entertainment. The good news is that you don’t have to face this issue anymore. You have certain smart remote apps in the market today with TV guide features that help you enjoy quality time with your TV.

And among them, the most popular is Peel smart remote app. It brings you an extraordinary TV watching assistance with its intelligent TV guide.

Before we explore the multiple benefits of this feature, let’s understand what Peel is.

Peel remote app lets you control various devices simply using your Android phone or tablet. It uses the IR-capabilities of your phone and enables it to work as a universal remote control. So, you don’t have to deal with many remotes at all. In the absence of IR-blaster, it leverages your Wi-fi network to deliver the same experience.

Now, let’s go back to the Peel TV guide.

Peel smart remote is an app which understands you.

It knows what kind of programmes you may like to watch and which ones you’re likely to skip. It’s able to do so by keeping a track of the TV shows you’ve been interested in since the first day of using the app. This includes the type of programmes like movies, daily soap, games, news, sports etc. Also, it observes the genre of your interest such as thriller, comedy, documentary and so on.

Every time you open the app, you can see colourful thumbnails of various TV programmes on its home screen. These thumbnails are actually the recommendations on the basis of the understanding Peel TVapp has acquired about your viewing behaviour. If you like a recommendation, you only have to long press it to get the details about the programme. This will help you decide whether or not you would like to watch it. If it interests you, just tap on the thumbnail and it’ll take you directly on the channel the programme is running on. Do you see how much time it helps you save there?

And interestingly, the more you interact with the app, the more precise will its recommendations become. What’s even more helpful here is that you explore these thumbnails without even changing the current channel or even turning on the TV.  

If you had a dedicated TV watching assistant, that would work like Peel.

You can use Peel remote app to see the trending shows, the most popular choices in specific genres and the shows you watched recently. The app also helps you find your favourite TV programmes easily. It lets you browse the channel guide and find out when specific programmes are scheduled. And under the videos section, you can see the short trailers and clips of the shows.

Besides this, you can always save programmes and set reminders for them so that you don’t forget their timings. And if you’re absolutely clear on what you’d want to watch for the next one week, you can even prepare a calendar of TV shows and set reminders for each of them. The app will keep reminding of the upcoming items on the calendar.

Therefore, if you’re using Peel smart remote, you don’t have to worry about missing you’re the shows you like. The TV guide feature enables you to set reminders for them and you don’t have to be around your TV to do that. Irrespective of where you are, your TV guide is always with you. Now, you don’t have to accidentally skip your all time favourite soccer match because you are occupied for a minute after a long, hectic day at work.
