It works over Wi‑Fi so you can control your TV like a physical remote and supports many rare and major brands. Getting started is simple: connect your phone and TV to the same Wi‑Fi network, search or enter your TV brand, open the matching remote layout, and tap to connect. Supported brands include Roku, Samsung, Panasonic, Mi, Sony, LG, OPPO, Vizio, Toshiba, TCL and more. Note: this app is not affiliated with TV manufacturers. If you lose your physical remote or want a convenient phone-based control, this free universal remote app provides an instant replacement with voice and casting features. ## Rankings - #23,948 — 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.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.CAPTURE_VIDEO_OUTPUT` - `android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE` - `android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROJECTION` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_BASIC_PHONE_STATE` - `android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED` - `android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.tvapp.remote.tvremote.universalremote.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Review summary Users praise the app for being easy to use and generally nice, but frequently complain about TV detection/connection failures (including false positives), intrusive ads and free-trial prompts, and occasional non-functionality on certain TVs. A few reports mention compatibility issues with specific brands. Some users also report unresponsive refunds/support.
