## Description

Sam Remote TV is a virtual remote control that lets you control your Samsung TV from your iPhone. It auto-detects your TV and remembers connections, so you can set up quickly over Wi‑Fi without being near the TV.

Key features include an intuitive remote, auto-detection of Samsung TVs, full remote controls, mouse/keyboard control, one-time validation on the TV, and automatic reconnect to previously connected TVs. This app is not an official Samsung product. Privacy Policy and Terms of Use apply.

## Review summary

Most reviews describe Smart TV Remote as unreliable and aggressively monetized. Users report persistent ads that hinder navigation, and numerous claims that the app is not free and requires a pricey subscription to access even basic functions like volume or channel changing. Several reviewers say it disconnects from their TV or won’t connect at all, forcing them to rely on real remotes. A few describe it as a scam or false advertising, though one review praises it as easy to use. Overall, negative experience dominates.
