## What is Smart TV Remote Control?

Point your phone at the screen. Aimio already found your TV. No account, no setup wizard, no waiting.

EVERY BUTTON UNLOCKED. NO ADS, EVER.
Other remote apps paywall the basics: you can't even turn the volume down without hitting a subscription screen, and ads interrupt every few taps. Aimio never shows an ad. Aimio Pro (a monthly or yearly subscription with a free trial, or a one-time purchase that you own forever) unlocks every button, and it is priced to be affordable. Three honest options. No tricks. Nothing hidden. You see the exact price in the app before you pay, and you can cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.

BUILT FOR EVERY HOUSEHOLD
Large, high-contrast buttons. Full VoiceOver labels. Switch Control and Voice Control support. Dynamic Type that actually scales. If a standard remote's tiny buttons are hard to see or press, Aimio was designed for you first, not as an afterthought.

WORKS THE WAY YOUR TV ALREADY DOES
Aimio talks directly to your TV over your own Wi-Fi, using each brand's own control protocol: Roku's official remote API, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Vizio SmartCast, and the Google TV remote protocol. Your remote commands go straight from your phone to your TV and never pass through a server. Sony sets use IRCC-IP; VIDAA (Hisense, Toshiba) sets use MQTT.

Supports Roku, Samsung, LG, Vizio, Sony, Google TV, and VIDAA (Hisense, Toshiba) models. (Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV are not supported. We'd rather tell you now than after you've paid.)

EVERYWHERE YOU NEED IT
Once your TV is paired, you don't even need to open the app.
• Home Screen widget: 100% control right from your Home Screen: full D-pad, playback, and volume, every key unlocked
• Apple Watch: instant D-pad, OK, volume, Power and Mute from your wrist
• Lock Screen and Control Center: one-tap power, mute, and volume
• Siri Shortcuts and App Shortcuts for hands-free control

Lost the physical remote again? Open Aimio.

Restore Purchases is always available if you reinstall or switch devices.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-11-11

OPTIMIZED FOR iPHONE DUO
• The remote adapts to iPhone Duo when the phone is closed, open like a book or folded like a laptop.

UPDATED FOR iOS 27
• Built with the iOS 27 SDK, and the layout resizes to any window size.

ALSO NEW
• Power and Mute keys on Apple Watch.
• Screen titles wrap in full at the largest text sizes, and the Add another TV button is easier to hit.

IMPROVEMENTS AND FIXES
• The paywall no longer waits forever when the App Store is slow.
• A widget pinned to a TV shows that TV's name.
• More reliable TV control, and held keys such as rewind and fast forward.
• Aimio asks for a rating only after you have sent a key and paused, never at launch.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-04

Easier TV pairing. We clarified the setup instructions so it's obvious what to do before you tap Find TV — including making sure your TV is powered on and connected to the same Wi-Fi as your iPhone. A few other small reliability improvements too.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-22

No release notes.
