About this app

With this app "Remote Control for Sony TV" you can use your smartphone to control your Sony TV.
You can choose between network (WiFi / WiFi Direct / LAN) IP control or infrared (IR) control.

★ Infrared (IR) control
Works on phones and tablets with built-in IR blaster (infrared port) such as Samsung Galaxy S series until S6, HTC ONE, LG G3/G4/G5, Xiaomi Mi / Redmi / Note, Huawei Mate / Honor and many more.
No setup required. No WiFi required. It's ready to use (no need for pairing with the TV).
- Tested on Samsung Galaxy series (S4 / S5 / S6 and Note phones and tablets excluding Galaxy S7 & S8 which do not have IR hardware) running on original Android 4.4+ firmware (not CM/LineageOS).
- Also works on some older Samsung devices running on Android 4.1 - 4.2.2
- Please note that you must point your phone’s IR blaster directly at the TV. Usual working range is 4-10ft (1-3 meters, max ~5 meters).
- With some phones in power saving mode or with almost empty battery the IR blaster might not work or range is less then 5ft (2 meters).

★ Network IP control (WiFi / WiFi Direct / LAN).
- Make sure the Sony TV that you want to use is turned [On].
- Make sure your mobile device and TV are connected to the same local/home network.
- When registering/pairing a Bravia TV, make sure that "Remote Device" / "Renderer" in the settings of TV is set to [On].
- If you have refused the registering/pairing confirmation message on your TV, then you can change your selection later in TV's settings (usually it's located at HOME / Settings -> Network -> Home Network Setup -> Remote Device -> Remote Device List).

- If the TV was not found, then it is also possible to enter the TV's IP address manually. To find out you TV IP address go to TV [ Settings ] / [ Network ].

Ratings and reviews

Easy-to-use less ads I had that sonyfy app it has an ad every 3rd click . This one used it for a day and I haven't noticed any ads . It just works, no hassle. when I paired it the keyboard didn't pop up right away but I mashed around and it showed up. No biggie. Like I said, easy, responsive, and ya don't have to have your remote to pair it. Turns tv on and off too. Running it on a newer Bravia 60in 2021. less issues than I have with the factory remote. Phone & tv on same wifi ~_• later

Thank you -- this is a terrific remote control. Worked perfectly on a 10 or 15 year old Sony Bravia when I misplaced the remote. I haven't seen any ads at all. The app doesn't claim to be ad-free (the dev says there won't be more than one or two per hour) but even that rate of advertising is much fewer than most remote control apps. The GUI is simple and intuitive -- a ringer for the missing remote. It doesn't appear to run in the background or consume any resources. Superb.

Terribly designef ads. App is excellent but I'd prefer to pay 2 or 3 bucks for ad free. Although there aren't tons of ads they are intrusive as they appear when you need to use the remote, taking over the screen. I can't believe the ads work for the sponsor because I get so intent on finding the X to close the screen I don't know what they are advertising.
