## What is SamMote?

SamMote turns your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch into a remote for your Samsung or LG TV. Everything goes straight over your Wi‑Fi: no account, no extra box, no batteries. And your remotes follow you on iPhone and iPad thanks to iCloud.

A REMOTE THAT FITS YOU
• Design your own remote: add, move, resize and restyle every button, across several pages.
• Start from a ready-made template, or from the remote made from your TV: your apps, your inputs, the arrows and the volume.
• Pick an ambience, colors and icons, then try the result before saving it.

THE WHOLE LIVING ROOM IN ONE GESTURE
• Arrows, volume, channels, playback and color keys.
• Touchpad mode: swipe to navigate, tap to select.
• Keyboard: type your searches on the TV from your iPhone.
• Apps, channels, inputs and favorites at your fingertips.
• Macros: several commands chained in a single key.
• Turn the TV on from your iPhone, when the TV allows it.

ALL YOUR TVS
• Samsung: Smart TV and Tizen, including the H and J series (2014-2015); partial support for 2008 to 2010 models.
• LG: webOS, and NetCast 2012-2013.
• The TVs on your network are found automatically, or added by their IP address.
• Several TVs, and as many remotes as you like for each one.

ON ALL YOUR DEVICES
• Apple Watch: arrows, volume, channels, playback, your favorites and your macros.
• Siri and Shortcuts.
• iCloud sync: your remotes, macros and favorites on all your iPhones and iPads.
• Share a remote via AirDrop, Messages or Files.
• iPad: big screen, sidebar and hardware keyboard.

SAMMOTE PRO (one-time purchase, Family Sharing)
• No ads at all.
• Interactive widgets on the Home Screen and Lock Screen.
• Controls in Control Center, on the Lock Screen and on the Action button.
• Mini remote in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen.
Always free: the remote creator, Apple Watch, Siri, sharing, templates and iCloud.

### 4/5 — Kool !

*2023-05-11, version 2.1*

Simple…pratique…facile d’utilisation… évidente à "configurer" !!… elle vaut l’coup !-! {coût} ;—}>

### 5/5 — Manette

*2022-09-08, version 2.1*

Wow .. superbe applications et très conçu .. autant la déjà faite que la possibilité de la monter nous mène ..

Merci au développeur et ceux qui l'ont conçu

### 4/5 — Remote

*2022-02-28, version 2.1*

Very good would love it on my Apple Watch it be 5 star then

### 5/5 — Insgesamt eine wirklich tolle Remote-App

*2021-07-13, version 2.1*

Als Remote-TV App tut sie nach wie vor, was sie soll. Ich besitze einen alten Samsung-H TV. Daher finde ich besonders klasse, dass sich diese App die TV-Senderliste selbständig lädt und man so schnell von Sender zu Sender wechseln kann. Doch auch bei Freunden, Besitzer neuerer Geräte, lässt sie sich einwandfrei nutzen, anpassen und koppeln.

Schade finde ich, dass es keine updates kommen, geschweige einer vollständigen Übersetzung zu mindest ins englische.

Trotz allem lässt sich die App eigentlich sehr gut nutzen und bedienen. Daher volle 5 Sterne.

### 5/5 — Lo recomiendo

*2020-12-17, version 2.1*

Muy frustrado probando muchas apps haya que encontré esta

### 2/5 — Would be five

*2020-03-07, version 2.1*

Stopped working after IOS update, please fix to restore a well deserved five star rating to my best app so far.
After a longer wait, still not working - so reudices from 4 star to 2. Repeatedly showing a Pin code but not connecting. Shame!!!!

### 1/5 — Ужас

*2020-02-12, version 2.1*

Приложение не сопрягается с телевизором. Серия EU55NU8500 верните деньги

### 1/5 — Отстой

*2020-02-04, version 2.1*

Гребанные разработчики,за что вы сняли деньги,если не коннектится с тв?

### 1/5 — Не подключается

*2019-11-22, version 2.1*

Невозможно подключиться к телевизору ue32h6200. После ввода кода сразу же просит ввести еще один и еще один. Зря потрачены деньги.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-11-03, version 2.1*

Doesn’t work, waste of time
