Comments on Insignia TV Remote for Android

★★★★★ Anissa Mabery · Jun 1, 2026

Probably one of the best free phone remotes

★★★★★ Dave VanHoecke · May 29, 2025

Wish it had a few more of the remote options, but when you set it up as insignia smart it works just fine. Recognize the TV allowed me to change channels power

★★★★★ Brian White · Apr 26, 2025

Worked instantly and exactly as a remote.

★★★★★ Henry Lederfeind · Aug 3, 2026

Plug and play app, worked pretty well on my old Insignia monitor.

★☆☆☆☆ Jody · Mar 26, 2025

Another app that won't find the Insignia TV, but found all the Roku ones.

★☆☆☆☆ Bell · Jul 26, 2026

App is malicious. The app took over my entire phone and npw its hiding on my phone. I am unable to uninstall it.

★☆☆☆☆ James Walden · Sep 24, 2026

The app found my device to connect to, but when I go to connect the device, it won't allow me to select it. So I didn't get past this part, not giving me app a chance to be used

★☆☆☆☆ James Crawford · Jan 29, 2026

Doesn't work. Odd how an Insignia TV remote app doesn't even detect my Insignia TV, but detects my roommate's Walmart brand TV in the other room.

★☆☆☆☆ Julio Perez · Oct 12, 2026

If I can go negative i would. Garbage app. don't bother.
