Comments on TV Remote for Samsung TV for Android

★★★★☆ IT Freelance · Oct 19, 2026
Finally, a simply superb experience ! Had to tap on "allow" four times on the Samsung smart TV. Twice for the LG7thinQ Phone Device and Android OS, then twice again for the App and then the first cast. No crashes experienced ! Too bad the built-in url or file casting fails to work with a message that says not supported, but the phone's built-in Screen sharing works fine. 😘

I have a samsung smart and this remote is awesome. I can get my streaming and everything with it easily and I have a sammy smartphone
★★★★★ Shannon Grauman · Jun 25, 2026
A really good app for when your remote doesn't work or when you can't find it.
★☆☆☆☆ Cindy · Jul 18, 2026
Seems like it's difficult to use you go through all that work to download it and add it, and then you have to pay 39.99. Well that's not happening you're very non-transparent with your stuff you can buy a brand-new remote for $3.99 at Walmart this one doesn't work
★☆☆☆☆ Aria · Jun 23, 2026
Ads now cover your entire phone screen, and there is no close tab anywhere in sight. The only way to close the ad is by closing the app. You're lucky if the ad doesn't direct you to whatever they're trying to advertise to you when you try to close the app.
★☆☆☆☆ Another Google User · Jul 11, 2026
This used to be an excellent Samsung tv remote app just like the original thing but better due to not having to change the batteries & if you lose it you can ring your phone however something has changed with the cookie rejection it's taking to long when a simple checkbox reject all cookies with 1 tick would do the job 100% fine get that changed 1 ☆ will go back to 5☆ with an excellent review still needs just a reject all cookies button.

Description by Backslash Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
This remote control app allows you to control your Samsung Smart TV over the local network on your phone or from your wrist with Wear OS watch. It is tested with Samsung K-series Tizen TVs (2016 and later) and C, D, E, F, H, J (manufactured between 2010 - 2015) TVs with network (LAN or WiFi) interface.

★ C-Series TV (2010) with Internet TV feature
The function "Remote Control" in the settings of the TV must be enabled)! It's usuallly located at Menu -> System Settings. If there is no such setting, then sadly your TV does not support remote control over network.
★ D-Series models (2011) with AllShare Smart TV feature
★ E(S/H)-Series (2012) with AllShare Smart TV feature
★ F-Series (2013) with AllShare Smart TV feature
App must be set as allowed remote application in the Allshare settings of the TV. If this app connects to your TV on the first time, then you have to accept the message that appears on your TV. If you have refused the confirmation message on your TV ("accept device"), it is possible later to change your selection by going to: Menu -> Network -> AllShare Settings or Menu/Tools -> Network -> Expert Settings -> Mobile Device Manager.

★ K-Series (2016+) Samsung Tizen models with MultiScreen Smart TV control feature your phone must be set as allowed device in Mobile Device Manager. If this app connects to your TV on the first time, then you have to accept the message that appears on your TV. If you have refused the confirmation message on your TV ("accept device"), it is possible later to change your selection by going to: Menu -> Network -> Expert Settings -> Mobile Device Manager.

NB! Make sure your television and phone or tablet are connected to the same local network. This app will work only then when your phone and TV are both on the same local network!

Thanks for downloading this app. If this app doesn't work with your phone or TV then feel free to e-mail me.
