Mandu turns your iPhone into the remote for your Samsung smart TV. It talks to the TV over your Wi-Fi: no extra hardware, no account, no subscription. FIND YOUR TV IN SECONDS • Mandu scans your Wi-Fi and finds your Samsung TV, with its name and model. • Accept the prompt on the TV once and you're set. • Add more than one TV and switch between them from the title bar. EVERY BUTTON YOU NEED • Power, volume, mute, channels, arrows and OK, back, home and menu. • Number pad, source and media keys: play, pause, stop, rewind and fast-forward. • Hold volume, channels or the arrows to repeat, like a real remote. • One-tap shortcuts to Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video and Disney+. SEARCH WITHOUT THE ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD • Speak or type on your iPhone and send the text straight to the TV's search box. TURN IT ON AND OFF • Turn the TV off from the app. • Turn it on over the network with Wake-on-LAN (enable "Power On with Mobile" on the TV). COMPATIBILITY Samsung smart TVs with Tizen, from 2016 onwards. The iPhone and the TV must be on the same Wi-Fi. FREE, WITH ONE SMALL AD The whole remote is free. A small banner sits at the bottom and never covers a button. MANDU PRO: ONE PAYMENT, NO SUBSCRIPTION • No ads, forever. • The Home Screen widget: power, volume, channels, arrows and OK without opening the app. Mandu is an independent app and is not affiliated with Samsung.
