TONY TIME / SETUP GUIDE
Get connected.
Step by step.
You’ll need an iPhone or iPad, an Android TV or box, and a shared local network.
Check your system and install the APK
Check for Android 7.0 or later in Settings → About. Download the ARM64 or 32-bit APK for your system. Download directly in the TV browser, or copy it from your computer to a USB drive and open it using the TV file manager. If prompted, allow Install unknown apps for that installation tool. Menu names vary by manufacturer.
Download for TVOpen the TV display
Launch Tony Time TV. It opens directly in display mode. If its icon is missing from the home screen, open it from Settings → Apps. Use the remote’s direction buttons to move focus and its select button to connect.
Enable pairing on your phone
Create or choose a template, set player numbers and start the timer. Tap the cast icon, complete the projection subscription if prompted, and enable display pairing. Note the six-digit match number. Only the controller needs a subscription.
Select the match on your TV
The TV lists discovered match numbers, names and controller IP addresses. Select the number shown on your phone. Choose Scan again if the list is empty, or enter the IP, port and match number from the pairing screen manually.
Manage multiple matches and TVs
Tap + on the phone to add independent matches and switch with the top dropdown. TVs can choose different matches, or several TVs can show the same match. Choose Switch tournament in TV settings to reconnect from the match list.
Keep the match running
Keep the phone app in the foreground to avoid system suspension. Enable pairing again after quitting the phone app. Disconnected TVs rediscover matches every 30 seconds. Switching matches on the phone keeps other timers running.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Troubleshooting
The TV cannot find my phone
Enable pairing for the intended match, use the same local network and allow Local Network permission on the phone. Guest Wi-Fi device isolation can block connections. Discovery covers common IPv4 /24 subnets; for other subnets enter the IP, port and match number manually.
The APK will not install
Check the Android version, system architecture and free storage. Use the correct architecture if installation reports incompatibility. A different signing key on an older version prevents an in-place update. Save needed data before uninstalling it. Uninstalling clears the TV’s local settings.
Does the TV need a camera or subscription?
No. The TV edition uses discovery or a manual address, with no camera requirement and no separate subscription.
How do I restore or cancel a subscription?
Open the subscription and restore option on the phone to restore active entitlements for the same Apple account. Monthly subscriptions renew automatically. Cancel through Apple at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.
