Universal TV Remote Control - one app for every screen in the house. READY IN SECONDS Nothing to pair, no code to type in, no hunting for the original remote. Open the app, let it sweep your Wi-Fi, and every TV and streaming box it recognizes shows up in a list. Tap one and the controls are yours. MADE FOR YOUR TV Built around the brands people actually own: Samsung, LG webOS, Sony, Sony Bravia, Philips, Panasonic, Roku TV, Vizio, TCL, Hisense, Sharp, Xiaomi, Toshiba, Hitachi, Grundig, Telefunken, JVC, Thomson, Nokia, Android TV, Google TV and dozens of models besides. TWO REMOTES IN ONE Swipe across the trackpad when you are flicking through rows of posters. Switch to the D-pad when you want one deliberate step at a time. Volume, mute, power, the number pad, the app launcher and every playback key stay a thumb away, wherever you are on screen. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Power on and off Wake the TV and send it back to sleep from your iPhone or iPad. Wake-on-LAN on models that support it. • Volume and sound Nudge it up, cut it dead, fine-tune it - and feel the response the moment you press. • Trackpad or D-pad Pick whichever suits the screen in front of you. Both move through menus, apps and settings without the usual hunting. • Type with the keyboard you already know Search terms, email addresses and passwords go in at full speed from your own keyboard, instead of spelling them out one letter at a time. • Ask out loud Say the title you are after and let the TV go and find it. • Playback and apps Play, pause, jump back, jump forward, and open the streaming apps you use most without putting the phone down. • Your own photos and videos on the big screen Send anything from your library, or a video you come across on the web through the browser built in. • Bring your IPTV playlists Add an M3U from a file or a link. Watch it on the phone, or push it to the TV. • A remote on your wrist Apple Watch gets its own set of keys, for when the phone is in the other room. NOTE Premium is an auto-renewable subscription, weekly or yearly, that lifts the daily limits and unlocks casting to your TV. The price is shown before you buy, it renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings. PRIVACY Everything happens on your own network. There is no account to create, nothing to sign in to. What you say to the voice search reaches your TV and goes nowhere else - it is never recorded or stored. LEGAL NOTICE This is an independent app. It has no affiliation with Samsung, LG, Sony, Roku, Google, Philips, Panasonic, Hisense, TCL or any other brand named here, and none of them endorse or sponsor it. Those names appear for one reason only: to tell you which devices the app can talk to.
