Most "universal remote" apps make you subscribe - or they paywall the volume and power buttons and bury the screen in ads. Handy doesn't. Every button works for free, there are no ads, and the one-time Pro unlock - no subscription, no auto-renew, no trial - is only for the extras. Turn your phone into a proper remote for the TV in the living room - or every room. Handy connects over your Wi-Fi network: a fast, tactile D-pad, real volume and playback control, keyboard typing, and voice search, so you stop hunting for the plastic remote wedged in the couch. FREE - the whole remote, no catch • D-pad, OK, back, home, volume, mute, channel, and playback - all of it, free • Type with your phone keyboard instead of pecking letters one at a time • Voice search - speak, and it lands in the TV's search box • Launch apps like Netflix and YouTube straight from the grid • Quick reconnect - Handy remembers your TV and connects the moment you open it WORKS WITH • Sony (Smart TV / Bravia) • Samsung (Tizen smart TVs) • LG (webOS) • Roku and Roku TV HANDY PRO - one-time $2.99, no subscription One payment unlocks the extras and keeps them forever - bought once, yours for good.
