Just after releasing version tvOS 10.2, Apple has updated the Apple TV Remote app with some notable new features. The app can act as a stand-in to the Siri Remote when needed.
An improved Now Playing

The biggest improvement in version 1.1 is full support for the iPad. Previously, the app was only designed for the smaller screen of the iPhone and had to be scaled up when running on the tablet.
Along with general performance and stability improvements, the Now Playing section has been improved. It now features lyrics and playlists for music and chapters, audio tracks, and captions for some TV shows and movies.
You can download the Apple TV Remote app now on the App Store for free.
