Turn your iPhone into the remote for every smart TV in the house. The app finds the TV on your Wi-Fi, pairs the way the TV asks, and gives you every key, a touchpad, a keyboard and your apps, all in one place that never ends up under the sofa. Works With the TVs People Actually Own Samsung, LG, Sony Bravia, Roku, Vizio, Philips, Panasonic, and the Android TV and Google TV sets made by TCL, Hisense, Xiaomi and many others. Each brand is spoken in its own language, so the keys respond the way the original remote does. Ready in a Minute Put the phone on the same Wi-Fi as the TV and open the app. The TV appears within seconds. The first time, the TV shows a code or asks for permission on its screen, once; after that the connection is automatic whenever you open the app. Every Key of the Remote Power, volume and mute, channels and numbers, inputs, arrows and OK, play and pause, home and back. The keys are laid out like a real remote, with haptic feedback on every press, and the phone's own volume buttons control the TV. Touchpad and Keyboard Swipe across the touchpad to move through menus and tap to select. On TVs with a pointer, the cursor follows your finger. When it is time to search, type on your phone's keyboard instead of hunting for letters on the screen one at a time. Your Apps in One Tap Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Prime Video and everything else installed on the TV, opened straight from the phone. Keep your favorites at the top of the remote.
