SMART TV REMOTE OVER WI-FI
Universal TV Remote finds the Smart TVs on your Wi-Fi network automatically and connects in a tap. Supported platforms include Android TV, Google TV, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Hisense VIDAA, Vizio SmartCast, Philips, Sony Bravia and many more.
• Full TV remote: power, volume, mute, channels, D-pad, back, home, input
• Keyboard: type searches and passwords with your phone instead of the TV remote
• Voice search on TVs that support it
• Touchpad and mouse mode for Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV
• Apps: open Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video and your other TV apps with one tap
• Saves every TV you connect to, so next time it is one tap away
IR TV REMOTE — NO WI-FI NEEDED
If your phone has an IR blaster (many Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO, Huawei, Honor and older Samsung phones do), Universal TV Remote works as an infrared TV remote for thousands of TV models, including older, non-smart televisions. Choose your TV brand, pick a model, and the remote is ready.
HOW TO CONNECT
1. For a Smart TV: connect your phone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network and open the app. Your TV appears in the list.
2. Select it. Some TVs show a pairing code on screen the first time; enter it once and it is remembered.
3. For an IR TV: open IR TV Remotes, choose the brand, and point your phone at the TV.
WHY PEOPLE KEEP THIS TV REMOTE APP
• Finds TVs automatically, with no account and no setup
• One remote control app for the living room, bedroom and office TVs
• A clear, dark design made for one-handed use in a dark room
• Works when the original TV remote is lost, broken or out of batteries
• Used by millions of people in more than 100 countries
PREMIUM
Universal TV Remote is free to download and use. An optional Premium subscription removes ads. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be managed or cancelled at any time in Google Play.
GOOD TO KNOW
• Wi-Fi control needs the phone and TV on the same network. Some TVs must allow control from mobile apps in their settings (for example Roku and Samsung).
• IR control needs a phone with a built-in IR blaster. The app tells you if your phone does not have one.
• Universal TV Remote is an independent app. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any TV manufacturer. Brand names are trademarks of their respective owners and are used only to describe compatibility.
