Remote Control for TCL: Zapli

AppsOverflow LLC

About this app

Lost your remote? Use your phone.

Zapli turns your Android phone into a remote for Roku TV and Google TV over your home Wi-Fi, including many TCL, Hisense, onn, Philips, Sharp, Sony, Element and Westinghouse TVs, and Roku and Google TV boxes and sticks.

Find your TV, tap "Test: press Home" and watch it respond.

Everything is included, with no subscription:
• Find your TV automatically, or enter its IP address
• Power, D-pad, OK, Back, Home, volume and mute
• Type on your phone's keyboard instead of tapping letters with the arrows
• One-tap app launcher (with your Roku's real channel icons)
• Touchpad swipe mode, media keys, input switching and channel keys
• TV routines: save the buttons you use together and run them in one tap
• Save more than one TV
• Step-by-step fixes for the two things that stop remote apps working: Roku's "Limited" network access setting, and TVs on the wrong Wi-Fi

Private by design. No account, no ads, no tracking. Remote commands go only to the TV you choose, on your own network.

Honest about limits. Doesn't work with Fire TV, Vizio SmartCast, Samsung, LG or Hisense VIDAA TVs, or TVs that only accept infrared remotes. A TV that is fully powered off can't be woken over Wi-Fi unless it is set to allow it.

Works with Roku TV and Google TV models. Zapli is not affiliated with TCL, Roku, Google, Hisense, Sony or any TV maker.

What’s new

First release. Control your Roku TV or Google TV from your phone over Wi-Fi: remote, phone keyboard, app launcher, touchpad, media and input keys, and one-tap TV routines. Everything is included.
