Re: Remote app

Welcome to iMore! The Remote app for iOS is compatible with 4th gen AppleTV provided you have the latest version of TvOS installed. Siri will not work with it, however.

The Siri functionality isn't working yet, but is planned for "first half of next year" but no idea when that will be.
