iPhone
Lost your remote control for TV under the couch cushions? Turn your iPhone into a universal Smart TV remote and get back in control before the opening credits finish.
Dead batteries, a remote that vanished during moving day, or a new apartment with a TV brand you've never seen before—the physical remote always seems to fail at the worst moment. Universal TV Remote Control connects your iPhone to your Smart TV over your home Wi-Fi network, so you can manage power, volume, and navigation with a remote control for TV that fits right in your pocket.
Universal TV Remote Control connects over Wi-Fi to Samsung (Tizen), LG (webOS), Roku TVs and players, Sony Bravia, and Smart TVs and streaming devices from Philips, TCL, Hisense, Sharp, Xiaomi, and Nvidia.
With Universal TV Remote Control, you get:
• Unified TV Control—manage power, volume, and channel switching across multiple TVs in different rooms from one iPhone.
• Fast Text Input—use your smartphone keyboard to search for movies on Netflix or YouTube instead of typing with a directional pad.
• Intuitive Navigation—move through complex Smart TV menus with an oversized D-Pad and a responsive center OK button, built for anyone who isn't especially tech-savvy.
Everything you need from a remote control for TV app, built in:
POWER & VOLUME CONTROL
Stuck with a TV blasting at full volume and no remote in sight? Dedicated volume rockers and an instant power toggle send commands over your local network, so you can adjust audio or shut off the screen without leaving the couch.
SMART TV KEYBOARD & D-PAD
Typing a movie title with a physical remote control for TV takes forever—and it's even harder for anyone who struggles to read small remote buttons. Open the built-in keyboard to send full text strings directly to your TV's search bar.
COMPATIBLE WITH MAJOR BRANDS
Don't know what brand your TV is? Universal TV Remote Control auto-detects Smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Roku, Sony, TCL, and Hisense on the same Wi-Fi network—no manual setup or brand lookup required. Whether you just moved into a place with an unfamiliar TV or you're switching between rooms with different brands, one app handles them all.
Turn your phone into a TV remote control in three simple steps:
Connect your iPhone and Smart TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
Open the app and select your TV from the auto-detected list.
Start controlling volume, navigation, and streaming features right away.
