1. Remote Control Collection
Remote Control Collection is one
of the highest-rated and most popular remote applications on the Play
Store, and for good reason too.
This free PC remote application
for smartphones and tablets offers up a number of different remotes and
functions in a single chunky package. Whilst it's possible to control a
computer's keyboard and mouse through a remote device, Remote Control
Collection is also capable of managing media files, presentations and
more.
The Remote Control Collection is split into six categories,
consisting of Mouse, Keyboard, Live Screen (Pro), Media Player (Pro),
Slideshows (Pro) and Speech recognition. Heading to the Android
Remote configuration page on your PC will start the process of setting
up the app, which requires you to download remote software to your
computer, identify your IP address and then pair the app with your
handheld gadget. Whilst the process sounds a little dull, it doesn't
take much time at all to get up and running. Remote Control
Collection's start page on mobile is split into Remotes and Devices.
Using the mouse to control your computer screen is very simple and
there's app shortcuts to expand the keyboard so you can use the function
keys, copy and paste, zoom and so on. Simply put, Remote Control
Collection gets the job done without much fuss.

2. Remote Link (PC Remote)
The Remote Link app
arrives courtesy of Asus, which means you'll need a copy of Asus' own
Remote Link server software on your computer before you can get going.
Remote
Link supports all the features you'd expect and more, including handy
multi-pad gestures and Android Wear compatibility. Android Wear
functionality is a nice addition, because it means that Asus ZenWatch
owners can control a computer-based presentation entirely from the
screen of their wearable.
There's also a presentation remote and a media remote compatible with Windows Media Player thrown in for good measure.
If you're a fan of clean app design, then you'll feel right
at home exploring all that Remote Link has to offer. The Android remote
tool has a clean look to it, and all the menus and their functions are
very clearly labeled to avoid any confusion. Asus' remote app is
well-reviewed over on the Play Store, with plenty of downloaders
complimenting the app's straightforward design. We've spotted some
complaints about the ads built into the experience proving a nuisance,
but it's hard to complain too much when the app is free.

3. Chrome Remote Desktop
Google's answer to
controlling your PC with an Android smartphone requires a Chrome
extension to function, and once you've sorted out a PIN for the remote
computer you're ready to go.
Chrome Remote Desktop has been around
for a long time and continues to deliver a solid experience, arriving
with cross-platform features for both Windows and Mac users. An internet
browser running Google Chrome is naturally the only requirement.
As long as you're signed into the same Google account on
your smartphone as your computer, the Chrome Remote Desktop app will let
you control the PC wirelessly from the mobile's screen. Whilst there's a
slight delay while a connection is first established, for the most part
you can expect a lag-free experience. Rotating your smartphone to
landscape mode will give a clearer view of your PC desktop, and there's
a couple of commonly-used keyboard shortcuts built in to make typing
easy.

4. Unified Remote
Unified Remote is crammed with
features, coming preloaded with support for over 90 separate programs
including a useful file manager tool and media players for music and
video files.
This Android-compatible remote app is quick to configure,
starring automatic server detection to easily configure your home
network. Customizable server passwords are built in and multi-touch
mouse control is included. Meanwhile, Unified Remote has a variety
of different themes to choose from, and 18 remotes are bundled into the
free package. The full version adds some more tools including voice
commands, NFC commands, Android Wear support and more.
Music apps
supported by Unified Remote include Spotify, iTunes and Google Music,
and streaming addicts can control YouTube, Netflix and Hulu with the
remote app too.

5. TeamViewer for Remote Control
TeamViewer for Remote Control is fast and secure, capable of transferring files both to and from various devices. The
TeamViewer remote app is free to download and requires the TeamViewer
PC software to function. Download the software, enter your computer's
TeamViewer ID and password and then it's full speed ahead.
As
expected, full keyboard functionality is on offer, as is multi-monitor
support and the option to 'remotely administrate unattended computers'.
The folk behind TeamViewer say that the app can quite
easily become a valuable tool in the workplace, but there's enough
features included in the download for it to be useful at home too.
TeamViewer
for Remote Control is certainly the most business-orientated PC
remote app we've covered in our list, but it has many of the same
features as its competitors.
