About this app

Turn your Android phone into a convenient remote for compatible smart TVs. Discover TVs on your Wi-Fi network and control them with a D-pad, touchpad, phone keyboard, voice search and essential TV controls.

NAVIGATION
Choose D-pad controls with directional arrows and OK, or use the touchpad to move, tap and scroll in supported TV interfaces. Back, Home and other essential controls are close at hand.

TYPE AND SEARCH
Use your phone's keyboard to enter text in supported TV fields. Use speech input for voice search where supported. Keyboard and voice availability depend on your TV, device and speech service.

TV CONTROLS
Use supported controls for power or wake-up, volume, mute, channels, Back, Home, Play/Pause, Source, Menu, number pad and app shortcuts. Phone volume buttons can control TV volume while the remote is open where supported.

DISCOVER AND CONNECT
Connect your phone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network, scan for compatible devices, then follow on-screen pairing instructions. Save nicknames and manage multiple TVs.

CONNECTION OPTIONS
• Wi-Fi remote for compatible smart TVs on your home network.
• Infrared remote for compatible TVs when your Android phone has an IR blaster.
• Screen-mirroring shortcut opens your phone's casting settings.

COMPATIBLE TV PLATFORMS
Compatibility varies by model, operating system, firmware and settings. Supported models may include Android TV and Google TV, Samsung Smart TV, LG Smart TV, Roku TV and Roku players, Amazon Fire TV, Sony BRAVIA, Hisense VIDAA, Philips, Panasonic VIERA, Xiaomi and Sharp. Some older models or features may require extra settings or may not be available. IR control requires an IR blaster.

If your TV doesn't appear, check the network and TV remote-control settings. Roku: enable control by mobile apps. Amazon Fire TV: enable required network debugging where applicable. Panasonic: enable remote-control app settings if needed.

FREE TO USE
The app is supported by ads. Ads are designed to avoid interrupting pairing and text entry. Where available, watch a short rewarded video to hide ads for two hours.

PRIVACY
The app communicates with compatible TVs over your local network. No account is required for remote control. Voice search uses your phone's speech service; the app does not independently record audio. Ads are provided by Google AdMob. See the app's privacy policy for details.
