Universal TV Remote: Wand

Wand turns your iPhone into a TV remote for supported Roku, Vizio, LG, Samsung and other smart TVs on your Wi-Fi. Swipe to move, tap for OK, type with the iPhone keyboard and open your TV's apps where your TV allows it, all without hunting for the clicker.

WHAT YOU CAN DO • Swipe the touchpad to move and tap for OK, or switch to a classic D-pad • Use the keys you know: OK, Back, Home and volume, plus mute, channel, input, menu, guide, info and exit when your TV supports them • Type with the iPhone keyboard on Samsung, LG, Roku and Fire TV, when the TV shows a compatible text field • Open the TV's apps with app shortcuts on Samsung, LG, Roku, Fire TV and Google TV • Save several TVs and switch between them quickly • Turn on Easy Mode for bigger buttons and a simpler screen • Light and dark appearance, haptic feedback and VoiceOver labels The full key set, keyboard, app shortcuts and multiple TVs need Wand Pro (see below).

GETTING CONNECTED Wand finds TVs on your Wi-Fi automatically. If your TV shows a code, enter it to pair. If discovery can't see your TV, add it by IP address. Built-in help shows how to turn on remote control from a phone in your TV's own settings.

WORKS WITH Wand works with Roku, Vizio SmartCast, LG (webOS), Samsung (Tizen), Hisense (VIDAA), Amazon Fire TV (including Fire TV Stick models with Fire OS) and Google TV. The keys and features you get depend on your TV's model, firmware, network and settings. Your TV must be on and connected to the same Wi-Fi as your iPhone; a TV in deep sleep can't be reached. Brand names belong to their owners; Wand is independent and not affiliated with them.

WAND PRO Wand is free to download. Using the remote needs Wand Pro: the full remote with every key, the keyboard and app shortcuts where your TV supports them, and multiple saved TVs. Wand Pro is an auto-renewing subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase; the plans on offer, their prices and any free trial are shown in the app before you pay. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. A subscription renews automatically until you cancel it in Settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

PRIVACY No ads, no tracking across apps and no advertising identifier. Your saved TVs and pairing stay on your iPhone, with pairing tokens kept in the iOS Keychain. Wand asks for Local Network permission so it can find and control TVs on your Wi-Fi. Purchases go through Apple, so Wand never sees your payment details. To learn which App Store search ad an install came from and which plan screen was shown, Wand sends purchase records and plan-screen views, without your name or email, to its purchase service.
