## What is Universal Control?

Tired of searching for your lost remote? With Universal Control - TV Remote, you'll never have to worry about it again. This app turns your phone into a universal remote control, so you can control your TV from anywhere in your home.

With its easy-to-use interface and compatibility with various TV brands such as Samsung, Roku, LG, Sony, FireTV, AndroidTV, Vizio, and Hisense, this app lets you take charge of your TV viewing experience. You can connect your device to your TV via WIFI, and enjoy full control of your TV functions, including volume, channels, input sources, and more, right from your mobile device. 

Touchpad Instead of Buttons. We are confident that navigation with swipe gestures is much more convenient than by pressing regular "down" or "right" buttons, not distracting you from the most important thing: searching for your favorite movie or series on the TV.

With the ability to add Universal Control Widget. You don't need to open the app to still be able to use the basic buttons on the remote

Still Can’t Turn the TV On? In a word, you can, but under one condition. Most new Smart TV models support the Wake-on-LAN function.
