TVSync turns your iPhone into your TV's remote. No cables, no infrared: it works over your own Wi-Fi network and connects in under a minute. THE WHOLE REMOTE, FROM DAY ONE Power, D-pad, OK, volume, channels, mute, back, menu, home, number pad and input selector. The buttons you already know, on your phone's screen. TRACKPAD Move the TV's pointer by sliding your finger, just like the trackpad on a laptop. KEYBOARD Type into the TV's search boxes with your iPhone keyboard, instead of picking letters one by one with the arrows. YOUR APPS, INSTANTLY Open Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ or YouTube with one tap, without walking through the TV's menus. SIRI AND WIDGET "Hey Siri, turn the volume up in TVSync." You can also put the buttons you use most on your home screen. SEVEN STYLES Pick how the remote looks: plain, wool, frost, steel, gold, leather or marble. SEVERAL TVS Save the one in the living room and the one in the bedroom, name them, and switch between them from the top. WHAT YOU NEED A Wi-Fi TV on the same network as your iPhone. TVSync works with LG (webOS), Samsung, Sony and Roku televisions, all four tested on real sets. Televisions from other manufacturers are not supported yet: if yours doesn't respond, write to us before rating the app and we'll tell you whether your model is on the way. PRIVACY TVSync collects no data. No accounts, no ads, no servers of our own: commands travel straight from your iPhone to your TV over your local network, and nothing leaves your home. SUBSCRIPTION TVSync is a paid app with two plans: weekly (with a 3-day free trial) and yearly. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period, from your Apple account settings.
