Everything your old remote did — and a lot it never could

A full set of controls, redesigned for the phone that's already in your hand.

Universal Remote

Power, volume, channels, arrows, Home, Back and playback keys, plus a number pad — laid out just where you expect them, for nine TV platforms.

Smooth Touchpad

Swipe to move, tap to select. Glide through menus and streaming apps the way you'd use a laptop trackpad.

Keyboard Input

Type searches and passwords with your phone's keyboard and send them to the TV — no more pecking letters one by one.

Launch Your Apps

Open Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video and more on your TV with a single tap from the Channels tab.

Finds Your TV Automatically

Scans your Wi-Fi, lists the TVs it finds and reconnects to your last one — and can wake supported TVs from standby with Wake-on-LAN.

Xbox, Too New

On iPhone and iPad, control your Xbox console as well: D-pad, A/B/X/Y, View and Menu, bumpers, triggers and media keys.

Up and running in seconds

No accounts to create, no extra hardware — just your phone and your Wi-Fi.

1

Join the same Wi-Fi

Make sure your phone and Smart TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

2

Tap to connect

Open TV Remote and tap "Tap to connect TV". It scans your network and lists the TVs it finds.

3

Take control

Pick your TV. Some TVs ask you to allow the connection or enter a code shown on screen the first time — after that, TV Remote reconnects on its own.

Frequently asked questions

Which TVs does TV Remote work with?

TV Remote supports nine Smart TV platforms: Samsung (Tizen), LG (webOS), Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Vizio (SmartCast), Google TV / Android TV, VIDAA and Xumo. That covers brands like Sony, TCL, Hisense, Toshiba, Insignia and onn too, since their TVs run these systems. On iPhone and iPad, it can also control Xbox consoles.

Do I need any extra hardware?

No. TV Remote controls your TV over your home Wi-Fi network. As long as your phone and TV are on the same network, you're ready to go — no dongles, hubs or IR blasters required.

The app can't find my TV. What should I do?

First, confirm both devices are on the exact same Wi-Fi network (not a guest network). On iPhone, open Settings > TV Remote and turn on the "Local Network" permission; on Android, make sure TV Remote is allowed to access your local network. Restarting your router and TV also clears most discovery issues.

How do I manage or cancel my subscription?

Subscriptions are handled by the store you bought from. On iPhone, view or cancel anytime in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions; on Android, in the Google Play Store under Payments & subscriptions. See the Terms of Use for full details.

Is my data private?

TV Remote doesn't require an account, and it controls most TVs directly over your own network. Read our Privacy Policy for the full breakdown.
