Important Hardware Requirement

TV Remote uses your phone's built-in infrared (IR) transmitter to control physical devices.

Your Android phone must have compatible IR hardware for wireless control of a TV, soundbar, or other infrared-enabled device.

If your phone does not have an IR transmitter, physical device control will not be available. Supported testing or interface features may still be available depending on the device and app version.


TV Remote does not require an account to configure and use its basic remote-control features.

Configured remote profiles and preferences may be stored locally on your device. An internet connection is not required for sending infrared commands.

Some optional features, such as advertising, analytics, or other third-party services, may require an internet connection.

Compatibility

TV Remote is intended for compatible infrared-controlled consumer electronics. Device compatibility depends on your phone's IR hardware, the target device, and the available infrared command codes.

TV Remote is an independent application and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Samsung, LG, Sony, TCL, Hisense, Philips, Panasonic, Vizio, Sharp, or other mentioned brands.

Important:
TV Remote is intended to work with compatible devices that support infrared remote-control signals.

A smartphone must have a compatible built-in IR transmitter for physical infrared control. Devices without suitable IR hardware cannot transmit infrared commands to physical equipment.

Compatibility may vary depending on the smartphone model, target device, manufacturer, and available infrared codes. ## Rankings - #3,033,461 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.TRANSMIT_IR` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES` - `com.remotetvapp.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Universal Smart TV Remote](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ms.universal.tv.remote.control.android.smarttv) — 13,017 users, 4.81 / 5 - [Universal TV Remote App-IR](https://chrome-stats.com/d/universal.tv.remote.control.smarttvremote.universaltvremote) — 84,257 users, 3.38 / 5 - [Smart TV Remote Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.tv.remove.control.roku_tv) — 242,387 users, 4.19 / 5 - [TVRemote: TV Remote Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.dodo.tvremote) — 53 users - [Universal Remote for Smart TV](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.remotecontrol.smarttv.tv.remote) — 3 users - [Universal TV Remote Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mclib.universaltv.remotecontrol) — 190,574 users, 3.29 / 5 - [TV Remote Universal](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.tv.remote.universal.tv.remote) — 7 users - [Universal TV Remote Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.xanong.universal.tv.remote) — 103 users - [Remote For TV](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.DGgroww.UniversalRemoteControllForAllTV) — 100 users - [Universal TV Remote Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.studio.all.tv.remote.fire.stick.remote.universal.remote) — 181 users - [Universal TV Remote Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.gp.universalremote) — 6,152,162 users, 4.18 / 5 - [Universal Tv Remote Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.universalTvRemote.tv_Remote_cast) — 30,058 users, 3.90 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.remotetvapp)
