Perfect for Home theater all you need is to study it very well and anything Samsung Av receiver, Samsung DVD and other Samsung audio especially for Home theater strictly go for the Samsung AV Receiver through it, you can select your preferred equalizers and the Bass Boost under Sound modes. Enjoy😍😍😉🥰
★☆☆☆☆ Google User47 · Sep 18, 2025
Nearly nonfunctional too many ads. Every few seconds a new ad pops. Useless
★☆☆☆☆ Joe Mackin · May 2, 2024
It said it wouldn't work, then asked for my email, then there was a full screen ad. It feels like a scam ap.
★★☆☆☆ Tebogo Michael · Jun 3, 2026
Tbe "ok" button does not work on all ir remotes
★★☆☆☆ Jeannot bravo · Oct 3, 2025
Advertising is started at every use, blocking the normal use before possibility of testing the full functionality of App. I would expect ads after 2 or 4 weeks of regular use. Remote control seems to work, at least partially for my Samsung home theater...

Description by illlusions Inc Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Universal Smart Remote brings smart TV controls and infrared remotes together in one app. Control compatible TVs over Wi-Fi, navigate entertainment apps and manage supported home devices using your phone’s built-in IR blaster.

SMART TV REMOTE OVER WI-FI

Connect to compatible Android TV, Google TV, LG webOS, Hisense VIDAA, Vizio SmartCast, Xumo and Roku devices. Your phone and TV must be connected to the same local network.

• Discover supported TVs and follow the pairing instructions.
• Navigate with directional controls and OK.
• Switch between D-pad and touchpad navigation.
• Access Home, Back, Menu and input controls where supported.
• Adjust volume, mute sound and change channels on compatible devices.
• Use playback controls for supported media.
• Reconnect to previously paired TVs when available.

APP ACCESS & VOICE CONTROL

• Browse and launch TV apps where the TV provides app-list access.
• Use available app shortcuts on supported platforms.
• Tap the microphone and say commands such as “Go home,” “Volume up” or “Open YouTube.”
• Dictate text into compatible TV text fields.

App access, voice commands, text entry and touchpad behavior vary by TV platform and model. Entertainment apps must be available on the TV, and some services require a separate subscription.

CAST YOUR MEDIA

• Cast photos to compatible TVs.
• Play supported videos and music.
• Send compatible direct media links.
• Stop casting from within the app.
• Access screen mirroring on compatible phones and TVs.

Casting depends on the receiver, network and file format. Screen mirroring may use your phone’s wireless-display feature and require approval on the phone or TV. Mirroring may have a delay; protected content or phone audio may not be shared.

INFRARED REMOTES FOR EVERYDAY DEVICES

Have a phone with a built-in IR blaster? Explore remote profiles for supported brands and device types, including:

• TVs and air conditioners
• Soundbars and home theatre systems
• AV receivers
• DVD and Blu-ray players
• Set-top boxes and projectors
• Other supported infrared devices

Choose a device type and brand, point your phone at the device and test the available profiles. Confirm when a button works, then save the matching remote. If it does not respond, try the next profile.

Available buttons depend on the selected profile. AC controls may include temperature, mode, fan speed and swing where matching codes are available.

YOUR REMOTES, TOGETHER

• Save working IR profiles for quick access.
• Keep multiple supported devices in one app.
• Switch between saved remotes.
• Use clear controls and button vibration on supported phones.

GET STARTED

For Wi-Fi control:
1. Connect your phone and TV to the same local network.
2. Tap “Connect smart TV” and select a discovered device.
3. Approve the connection or enter the TV’s pairing code when requested.

For IR control:
1. Check that your phone has a built-in IR blaster.
2. Select the device type and brand.
3. Test the profiles and save the one that works.

COMPATIBILITY

An IR blaster is not needed for supported Wi-Fi controls. Infrared control requires actual IR hardware; installing this app does not add it.

Features vary by phone, TV model, platform, remote profile and network settings. Not every device supports every button. Wi-Fi power-on depends on standby settings. Streaming boxes may require a separate compatible TV connection for volume and mute.

Microphone permission is used for voice input. Network and nearby-device permissions may be requested for discovery and connection.

INDEPENDENT APP

Universal Smart Remote is developed by Illusions Inc. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the device manufacturers mentioned. Product names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
