About this app

Turn your phone into a universal remote for your TV. Universal TV Remote Control replaces a lost or broken remote and works with Roku TV, Samsung, LG, Vizio, Sony, TCL, Hisense, Insignia, Panasonic, Philips, Sharp and Toshiba TVs — all from one app.

No more searching the couch for the remote control. Open the app, choose your TV brand, connect and start watching.

How it works
• Connect over Wi-Fi to your smart TV, or use the IR blaster on supported phones for older TVs
• Pick your brand from the list — the remote control layout adapts automatically
• Control power, volume, channels, input source, mute and playback
• Type with your phone keyboard instead of clicking letters on the screen
• Use the touchpad to navigate menus and apps quickly

Samsung TV remote
Set up a Samsung TV remote in seconds. The app pairs with Samsung smart TVs over your home network and gives you every key you need: Home, Source, Guide, volume and channel controls. If you have lost your Samsung remote, this Samsung TV remote app is the fastest replacement.

Roku remote
Use your phone as a Roku remote for any Roku TV. The app finds your Roku TV on Wi-Fi and gives you the full Roku TV remote: Home, Back, navigation, playback, volume and channel shortcuts. If you need a remote for Roku right now, this Roku remote app replaces the lost one in under a minute.

Remote for LG, Vizio, Sony and more
The same universal remote works as an LG TV remote, a Vizio remote, and with Sony Bravia, TCL, Hisense, Insignia and Philips TVs. Switch between the TVs in your home from one screen — one remote control for Roku, Samsung and LG in the living room, the bedroom and the kitchen.

Common questions
Does it work without Wi-Fi? Smart TV control needs Wi-Fi. If your phone has an IR blaster, you can control the TV without any network at all.
Do I need the original remote to set up? No. Most smart TVs only ask you to confirm the pairing on screen the first time.
Can I add more than one TV? Yes — save all your TVs and switch between them from the home screen.
Which TVs are supported? Most smart TV models from the brands listed above released in recent years, plus many older TVs via IR. Support depends on the TV model and firmware.

Tips
Your phone and TV must be on the same Wi-Fi network for smart TV control. For IR control, your phone needs a built-in IR blaster and a clear line of sight to the TV. If the remote control does not respond, restart the app and reconnect — most connection issues are fixed by pairing again.

A universal remote should be reliable every day. We keep improving compatibility and add new TV models regularly, so if your TV is not supported yet, send us a message and we will look into it.

With Universal TV Remote Control, a lost remote control is never a problem again.

Ratings and reviews

I'm not a fan of TV remote apps that you mostly have to use premium. I think it is kind of greedy.
