Which app to use for Google TV?

Android TV or Android? Confused on this as both works.

Whatever works best for you at the moment.

I believe the plan is to eventually drop the Android TV app.  But I still prefer it when using a remote.

Yea the Android app is more performant, but the TV app is good for remote.

Hi, what do you mean by "good for remote" ?

I feel like the ui is a lot bigger and less of the things you really need when watching on TV on the old Google TV app. Which makes it easier to navigate using the tv remote.

One of the deal breakers for me on the universal android app currently the lack of fast forward/revarse on a remote. I can navigate to the progress bar, but it moves sooo slow and only moves in miliseconds. 
Also I  can't find the option for starting the app with profile selector.

In case you don't know, in the new(er) app, if you go to fast forward, once its fast forwarding slowly if you click the FF button again and again it gets faster and faster.

But I still prefer the old way in the old app where you just hold the button down and it gradually accelerates all by itself.
