Couch Remote turns your iPhone into a simple Wi-Fi remote for the TV in your living room, and puts the same remote on your Apple Watch. Pair your TV once. After that it's one tap away: a big d-pad with OK, Back and Home, volume and power. WORKS WITH • Samsung Smart TVs (Tizen, 2016 and newer) • LG Smart TVs (webOS) • Android TV and Google TV • Roku TVs and Roku players HOW IT WORKS • Couch Remote looks for TVs on your Wi-Fi. If yours doesn't appear, add it by its IP address. • Pair once: Samsung and LG ask you to Allow on the TV screen, Android TV shows a 6-character code to type in, and Roku needs no pairing at all. • Paired TVs are remembered, so next time you go straight to the remote. ON YOUR APPLE WATCH (COUCH REMOTE PRO) • The TVs you paired on your iPhone, on your wrist. • D-pad, OK, Back, Home and power. • Turn the Digital Crown to change the volume, one click at a time. • The watch sends each press through your iPhone, so keep it nearby. FEATURES • D-pad, OK, Back, Home, volume and power • Hold an arrow or volume key to repeat it • Rename or remove saved TVs • English and Latvian • No account, no sign-up COUCH REMOTE PRO The phone remote is free for one TV, volume and power included. A one-time purchase unlocks the Apple Watch remote and unlimited saved TVs. No subscription, no ads. GOOD TO KNOW • Your iPhone and TV need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. • Turning a TV on from standby depends on the TV model and its network standby setting. • Couch Remote is an independent app and is not affiliated with Samsung, LG, Google or Roku.
