TV Remote: Mi, Philips, Sony

Turn your phone into a real remote for your smart TV — no batteries, no universal remote to dig out of a drawer, no re-pairing every single time.

The app connects to your TV over your home Wi-Fi network — the same one your TV is already on — and sends every button press instantly: power, volume, channels, the full navigation pad, Home, Menu, Back, play/pause, rewind and fast-forward.

Works directly with:
• Samsung Smart TVs
• LG TVs (webOS)
• Sony Bravia TVs
• Philips TVs
• Android TV and Google TV devices — including TCL, Hisense, Xiaomi (Mi TV, Mi Box) and other Android TV brands
• Roku players and Roku TVs

Two extra tools most remotes don't have: a touchpad for cursor-style navigation, and a real keyboard so you can type search queries with your thumbs instead of hunting for letters with arrow keys. Save more than one TV and switch between them in a tap.

TV Remote needs your TV and phone on the same Wi-Fi network, and works with smart TVs that support network control — it doesn't use infrared, so it can't replace an IR remote for older TVs, cable boxes or AV receivers.
