Lost your TV remote? Universal TV Remote turns your Android phone into a Wi-Fi TV remote for Samsung, LG, Google TV, Android TV, and Roku.
Keep your phone and TV on the same Wi-Fi. The app finds your smart TV, you pair once, and your phone becomes the remote: volume, channels, apps, typing, and more.
Works with popular smart TVs

How to connect
1. Connect your phone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network. Guest Wi-Fi and VPNs often block discovery.
2. Open Universal TV Remote and tap Find my TV.
3. Pick your TV. Enter the pairing code on Android TV or Google TV, or tap Allow on a Samsung TV. LG uses an on-TV prompt or PIN.
4. Pair once. The app remembers your last TV and reconnects next time.
No infrared blaster. No extra hardware. This is a Wi-Fi TV remote, so it works on phones that cannot send IR signals.
Why people use this smart TV remote
âĸ Replace a lost or broken TV remote
âĸ Control the TV from the couch without hunting for batteries
âĸ Type passwords and search terms faster than the on-screen keyboard
âĸ Launch Netflix, YouTube, and other apps without clicking through the TV home screen
âĸ Keep one remote app for Samsung, LG, Google TV, and Roku in the same house
Tips for a reliable connection
Turn the TV on, stay on the same Wi-Fi band when possible, and enable the TVâs mobile / network remote setting if your model has one. Isolated guest networks usually cannot see the TV.
Universal TV Remote is built for everyday TV control, not screen mirroring or casting.
This app is not affiliated with Samsung, LG, Google, Roku, Netflix, Amazon, Spotify, Plex, or the other brands named here. Compatibility depends on your TV model, software, and network.
Control Samsung, LG, Google TV & Roku from your phone. Wi-Fi TV remote, no IR.
