Add Help Menu
Add haptic feedback
Add search suggestions/predictions
Arrow buttons always keep traditional position even when…
Most used buttons different layout and size
On-Screen Keyboard for Remote
Different positioning for adaptive layout
Differently label OK/Enter button
Give different buttons corresponding to functions on screen
Revert to previous adapted layout
Larger buttons
Media control buttons at the bottom
Remote extended to work for more information
Weak internet connection affects remote action execution
Text button labels
