James,
Yes, you need to enter you backend ip address and port 6544 into the app.
BTW, the same app will work on your phone/tablet and Android TV.  You just
get a different view on the respective devices.

Also, you can enter http://<backend ip>:6544 in your browser and verify you
can see  details about recordings, the services api, etc.
