## What is Smart TV Remote Universal?

Lost the remote again? Your phone is now the only remote you need.

Smart TV Remote Universal turns your iPhone or iPad into a fast, reliable remote for nearly any smart TV — no infrared, no extra hardware, and no digging through couch cushions. Pair once over Wi-Fi and take control in seconds.

ONE APP FOR EVERY TV IN YOUR HOME
Pair multiple TVs and switch between rooms instantly — no re-pairing, no setup every time. Living room to bedroom in one tap.

CONTROL EVERYTHING
Power, volume, channels, inputs, playback and a full D-pad — every button from your physical remote, right on your screen, with real haptic feedback on every press.

TYPE INSTEAD OF HUNTING LETTERS
Stop picking letters one at a time on the TV screen. Use your phone's keyboard — or the numeric pad — to search shows, sign in to apps and enter passwords in a fraction of the time.

SWIPE TO NAVIGATE
A smooth trackpad lets you glide through menus with your thumb — faster and more natural than pressing arrow keys.

SPEAK INSTEAD OF SCROLLING
Use voice input to search and navigate on supported TVs — completely hands-free.

LAUNCH YOUR APPS IN ONE TAP
The apps grid takes you straight to your favorite streaming apps without hunting around the home screen.

CONTROL FROM YOUR HOME SCREEN & LOCK SCREEN
This is where Smart TV Remote Universal goes beyond any ordinary remote app:
- Home Screen widgets: a quick D-pad + volume widget and an app-launcher grid, one tap from anywhere
- Live Activity with Dynamic Island support — compact controls while you do other things
- Siri & Shortcuts support through App Intents: automate your TV or ask Siri

WORKS WITH YOUR TV
Compatible with Samsung, LG, Sony, Vizio, Hisense, Philips, Roku and Roku devices, Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, Google TV, Android TV and many more. If your smart TV is on your Wi-Fi, chances are we support it.

MAKE IT YOURS
Per-brand accent colors (Roku purple, Samsung blue, LG red and more), plus light, dark and system appearance.

READY IN UNDER A MINUTE
Connect your iPhone or iPad to the same Wi-Fi network as your TV and follow the on-screen steps. That's it — no pairing codes, no cables.

GO PRO
Upgrade to Pro for the complete, ad-free experience with unlimited paired devices and all widgets unlocked. Choose a yearly plan with a 3-day free trial, a monthly plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase.

Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase, after any free trial period. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID account settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
