IR Remote: Universal TV Remote

IMPORTANT: This app uses your phone's built-in infrared (IR) blaster to control your TV. It does NOT work over WiFi and does NOT need an internet connection. Before installing, check that your phone has an IR blaster - most Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO phones have one; most Samsung, Huawei, Oppo and iPhone models do not. Look under Settings, or search "[your phone model] IR blaster" to check first.

If your phone has IR, this app turns it into a real universal remote control - even for TVs that are switched off, TVs with no WiFi, and old TVs in hotels, gyms or rentals where a WiFi remote app is useless.

KEY FEATURES
- Universal IR remote for 50+ TV brands
- Works fully offline - no WiFi, no internet, no account needed
- Turns on TVs that are completely powered off (a WiFi-only remote app cannot do this)
- Simple layout: power, volume, channel, numbers, menu and playback controls
- 100% free - no subscription, no premium plan, no button locked behind a paywall
- Fewer ads than most remote apps in this category - a short ad appears roughly once every 25 button presses, not on every tap

WORKS WITH THESE TV BRANDS
Acer, AOC, Apex, Bose, Bush, CCE, Changhong, Daewoo, Dynex, Elekta, Emerson, Funai, HIsense, Hitachi, Hyundai, Insignia, JVC, Kenwood, Kogan, LG, LG 2, Logik, Magnavox, Mitsubishi, OKI, Philco, Polytron, Proscan, Proton, RCA, Samsung Smart, Sansui, Sanyo, Seiki, Sinotech, Skyworth, Sony, Swisstec, Sylvania, Symphonic, TCL, Telefuken, Thomson, Tokai, TurboX, Upstar, Vizio, Voxson, WDlive, Westinghouse, Zenith

Some brands have more than one code set (for example LG and LG 2) because different TV models from the same brand respond to different remote signals. If the first set doesn't work, just try the next one listed for your brand.

Not currently supported: Toshiba, Panasonic, Sharp, Philips and Haier TVs.

WHO THIS APP IS FOR
- You lost your original remote and need a free replacement
- Your TV is old, has no WiFi, or isn't a "smart" TV at all
- You're in a hotel, gym or rental and can't use an app tied to a home WiFi network
- You own a Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO phone - today's most common IR-capable phones

HOW TO CHECK IF YOUR PHONE SUPPORTS IT
Open your phone's Settings and search "IR blaster" or "infrared", or search online for "[your phone model] IR blaster". If your phone doesn't have one, this app - and any other IR remote app - cannot send signals to your TV. The app shows a clear warning if no IR sensor is found, but checking first saves you a wasted install.

PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS
The app only needs access to your phone's IR transmitter to send remote signals. No account required.
