About

Good Remote

Read full description

Good Remote turns your iPhone into a fast, clean remote for your smart TV. No ads, no accounts, no tracking. Open the app and your TV is one tap away: the launch screen shows every TV in your house with live power status. Tap a TV that's off and the app wakes it over your network and connects automatically. FEATURES โ€ข Full remote: D-pad with OK, back/home/exit, volume and channel rockers, mute, playback controls, info, captions, and a number pad โ€ข Real power on: wakes the TV over your network from standby or deep sleep, not just power off โ€ข Input switcher and app launcher, loaded live from your TV โ€ข Multiple TVs, with automatic discovery on your Wi-Fi or added by IP address โ€ข Private by design: the app talks only to your TV on your local network COMPATIBILITY Good Remote works with network-connected smart TVs that support remote pairing over Wi-Fi (most models from 2014 onward). The first time the app connects, a pairing prompt appears on the TV screen โ€” accept it once and you're set. If your TV shows that prompt, it's supported. For power-on to work while the TV is off, enable your TV's setting that keeps its network active in standby (often called "quick start" or "turn on via Wi-Fi").

The clearest difference is ads: Good Remote at none against VPN's shown. VPN's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
