Control your television using your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro or HomePod with the TV Remote app.
* As featured on 9to5Mac, MacRumors, MacStories, TechCrunch & more*
TV Remote combines a beautiful and simple interface with advanced features that enable you to control your television without the need for a physical remote. Add all of your televisions to TV Remote and you’ll be able to customize the layout, apply themes and interact through Widgets and Siri Shortcuts.
TV Remote contains these great features:
UNIVERSAL REMOTE
TV Remote supports many brands of TVs (see below) and makes it easy for you to setup each one in a single app. You’ll find the buttons you’re used to seeing and there’s even the ability to launch apps and switch sources too.
INTERACTIVE WIDGETS
Remote commands can be added to your Home Screen or Lock Screen for quick access to your remote when you need it. There’s supports for launching apps, sources and changing channels all from a Widget too and with Interactive Widgets, you won't even need to open the app!
SIRI SHORTCUTS
Without even opening the app, you’ll be able to perform commands, change channels, launch apps and more with the Siri Shortcuts integration! For example, you’ll be able to configure a string of commands together to change a specific setting on your TV without even lifting a finger.
LIVE ACTIVITIES
Get access to a set of configured commands on your Lock Screen or Dynamic Island that allows you to quickly change channels, adjust volume and much more - all without opening the app!
CUSTOM LAYOUTS
TV Remote gives you the ability to fully customize how you want the remote for each TV to look. Using a set of pre-configured layout components, you’ll be able to choose which buttons go where so you get the exact look you’re after.
THEMES
Gone are the days of a plain remote! With TV Remote, you can be bold and design the exact look and feel of your television remote - even down to the icon tint on a button, and whether buttons are round or square. Each television has its own theme and there are plenty of presets to choose from too. You can even lock the app to light/dark mode.
KEYBOARD
No need to use arrow keys to navigate round an on-screen keyboard. With TV Remote, you’ll have access to a full keyboard you can use to search for programmes and more!
CHANNELS, APPS & SOURCES
TV Remote will load the available channels, apps and sources available on your television and allow you to launch them with just a tap.
WAKE FROM SLEEP
TV Remote supports Wake-on-LAN to allow you to power on your television when it is asleep.
TOUCHPAD
Control your television using swipe gestures on a touchpad instead of the standard directional keypad for a more fluid experience.
SYNCING
TV Remote syncs with your iCloud account to allow you to access your TVs across all your devices.

- Samsung/Tizen

TV Remote - Universal Remote App Comments & Reviews
TV Remote - Universal Remote Positive Reviews
Minor connection issues / certain features don’t appear to work, but may be due to TV model.Took a bit to get connected on the network and there’s occasional bursts of lag where an input takes 2-3 seconds to fire, but otherwise it seemed to work way better than any other apps we’ve been trying in terms of response time. Minor frustrating thing that may be due to my TV model (Samsung UN55RU8000F) but once I turn the TV off, I have to manually turn the TV back on since I just get reconnection errors trying to turn it on. Also, some “nicer than a remote” features appear to not work in general, assuming it’s TV model - keyboard and app switching being the two most significant. At the end of the day though, it saves me from having to drop $40 for an official replacement remote and definitely works good enough considering I’m usually just casting stuff from my phone and want volume / navigation controls..Version: 1.9.1
Developer is very responsive to feedbackI primarily use this app for creating home theater routines in Shortcuts, and it works very well for that. I’ve had issues with a couple updates breaking functionality and requiring me to redo them, but the dev clearly cares about making the app as good as possible, so a few growing pains along the way are understandable. There’s still some mild quirks (shortcuts that run multiple TV commands in a row run slower than comparable apps I’ve tried, and with the current update I had to redo every TV Remote step twice for the settings to “stick” due to an odd bug that seemed to assume every option was set to “ask me every time” regardless of what was entered) but nothing that’s remotely a dealbreaker or doesn’t have an easy workaround. Oh and if you’re not a nerd like me that likes making big dumb scripts to control every aspect of their home theater with Siri, this is also BY FAR the best standard TV Remote app I’ve used on the iPhone, and I’ve used a lot of ‘em. Clean, functional, and lots of great options that you may or may not ever need but are there if you do..Version: 2.4
Would Love To UseWould love to use this app, unfortunately, the app recognizes my television on the network, recognizes the manufacturer (Samsung) and then errors out telling me that the IP address isn’t correct. Disappointing because other apps have had no problem connecting, but I would have preferred to use this because of the Shortcuts support. For reference, my TV is a bit older (UN50KU6300) but the fact that other apps connect easily and this app recognizes the device seems like it should be a no brainer to me..Version: 2.4.3
Doesn’t work with Sonos through HDMI-CEC and ARCBecause this works through wifi, it’s very fast as expected. Setup was easy. This app is not like some others which allow you to configure the UI/controls, but the defaults are very good. On LG TVs, there is no magic remote like ability to move the cursor around through a touchpad, but the directional controls work through the TV and though the Apple TV, not as an Apple TV remote would(voice controls and such), but like the LG Magic Remote does with the directional controls. Aside from the minor critiques above which have workarounds or are not deal breakers, my one real disappointment here is that I have a Sonos speaker system connected through HDMI-CEC and/or HDMI ARC and the volume controls in the remote software do not work as they do for the LG Magic Remote. I cannot raise or lower volume or mute the volume of the Sonos through the TV..Version: 1.4
Most Useful App!Works great, it’s fast & simple to use. Also very convenient (iPhone and/or watch always with me), responsive, & intuitive. Most of all, the developers are always listening, what is more important than that? I recommend this one because of the fore-mentioned over the others! I would love to see a dedicated page with just a volume toggle & favorite channel buttons or a page you can customize with the control features you want on it, then I’ll create it myself. This is just a wish, love the app without it and you will too!.Version: 1.7.3
Liking this bar one missing featureThis is a pretty awesome remote app, particularly due to the rich support for widgets. The one feature that appears to be missing as far as I can tell is there is no way of creating a widget to wake up the TV. The power button widget works to turn the TV off but not on and there doesn’t appear to be a wake action that can be mapped. With this gap filled, this would be a pretty perfect app. Great job!.Version: 2.4.3
2019 LG Oled TV Does not connectMost advanced TV on the market and the app can’t find the tv on my network. I even have the tv connected via homekit. If this app won’t work with this tv then the developer needs to go back to the drawing board. I’d like a refund. After hearing from the developer you have to wait longer than I would have expected (4 min) for the TV to connect. It finally did so all is well now..Version: 1.4.1
Great AppI have a pretty cheap Samsung TV I think from Costco it’s a few years old.. this works amazing, every button works. I hope one day we can do quick actions like open apps like YoutubeTV with one button.. (it’s in the Samsung api) so I think it could be added. It works when connected over the local WiFi, which is the magic of the remote, no IR blaster needed..Version: 1.4
Great app!I originally found this app from the 9to5 Mac article, and instantly thought it looked great. After installing it, I was met with a very nice and clean UI, and it worked like a charm! For anyone who’s TVs aren’t showing up, remember that this app is new, and not all TVs are supported yet! Overall, it’s a very nice app, and I really like how so many TVs are supported, and being added very often..Version: 1.4.1
Very limitedDoesn’t work at all on Apple Watch, most functions don’t work on iPad, very limited functionality on iPhone. As with most of these apps, I can’t use it to turn on the tv since the tv doesn’t have a network connection when off. Update: These problems were resolved in version 1.4.1 (TV is LG), once the TV is turned on..Version: 1.4.1
Fixed! Won’t rememberSo far, each time I attempt to use this on my tablet (iPad) a warning pops up on the TV wanting permissions. To allow them I must pick up the original remote and activate. This defeats the purpose of having a secondary remote. Bummed. App Dev wrote me and quickly solved the issue! I am now giving this app 5 stars !.Version: 1.8.3
Got it working, but could use a setup guideI didn’t realize my TV was no longer connected to WiFi, but that’s what was needed to get this working. Makes sense, but the app didn’t really have any setup instructions. Those would be a good idea for new users. At least link to a website with instructions. 3 stars for it working for now, but I’ll give it some time and update the review accordingly. Nifty idea either way!.Version: 1.4
Works somewhatIt works great but for some reason after usage on my samsung tv it makes me allow it’s permissions tv and it gets annoying after a while i can’t figure out how to make it just work automatically without me needing an actual remote.Version: 2.6.3
Works just fineI don’t know what to say. It took a little longer than expected to find the tv, but once found, adding was quick and it works just fine. If you have a tv/remote set up that bothers your more than being absent $4 then I’d recommend it..Version: 1.4
App is excellent, developer is helperI’ve always wanted to turn my TV on and off using Siri and this app has finally made it possible. Best part is IRL I can ditch my awful TV remote. Widgets work great. Tons of possibility with Shortcuts. The developer is helpful and friendly as well..Version: 1.6.1
No televisions found6 Sony TV and 6 Apple TV. Found 0 :-( I had high hopes based on on 9to5 Mac review but was let down. Latest update provides support for Sony and now all 6 Tv’s are online. App works as needed for me now! Thanks Adam for the hard work and for supporting your product..Version: 1.5
Worth EVERY penny.As a published app developer, I can tell you there are many remote applications that do a few things somewhat well. This one pretty much nails, everything it attempts. Spend the full 20 bucks and get it lifetime..Version: 2.3.12
Won't allow me to connectThe app has no issue finding the tv but when it says to accept the prompt on the tv nothing is on it to accept it. It might be an issue with the taut if anyone knows a way to help it would be appreciated as the actual remote for the tv has been lost..Version: 1.9.1
Incredibly rapid improvement and functionalityGot this pretty much right away. In just three weeks it’s developed so fast and well. Can’t wait to see where he takes it. Six stars..Version: 1.7.3
Works great!The app took a couple of tries to find my tv, and I had to figure out which IP address was my tv, but after setting it up it works flawlessly with my LG CX OLED. MUCH better than having to hunt down the remote..Version: 1.4
Awesome app. But……This is a great app. It works really well with my iPad. However, my Apple Watch doesn’t work very well with it. My TV shows up on my watch, but I can’t control it. Is this normal, or am I the only one?.Version: 2.3.1
Cannot enter text in searchNeed ability to type in search.Version: 2.0.6
Very usefulI am correcting my rating after receiving a response from the developer. I became aware that there is a fix for switching the TV on..Version: 1.9.1
Super Responsive!!Emailed the dev late one night to inquire about Sony support. Developer quickly responded with an apology, mentioning that Sony was not supported at that time. Developer also provided information for a refund. Within a week the dev followed up with an email letting me know that version 1.5 was live and featured Sony support. Within seconds I had the updated app configured to control my Sony! THANKS ADAM!.Version: 1.5.1
The replacement for lg tv plus app!It’s been years since the lg tv plus app functioned at even 50%, but this app is AWESOME and replaces the lg tv plus app. Easy and awesome purchase!.Version: 1.9.2
Apple Watch Power Button For TVJust downloaded this app, seems to working fine, however the tv power button on the Apple Watch isn’t turning the tv on. Needs update I guess. Wish it worked..Version: 1.8.2
More Brands.Nice app as far as I can tell but it doesn’t support some major brands like Vizio which is what is used in my home. Would be nice if the developer would support all major brands..Version: 2.0.4
Waste of moneyPointed my iPhone 3 feet away from my SAMSUNG TV at least 10 times and it will not recognize the tv. Development team at least got back to me will see if I can troubleshoot with them.Version: 1.4
Works better than factory app for LG TVMy flatscreen LG TV is a few years old & this app works better than the factory app from LG for ThinQ. Very happy for the upgrade. Thank you!.Version: 1.4
Works greatCool app to have when I can’t find the remote or want to just change the tv to what I want to watch....Version: 1.4
Excellent App!!!Every feature on this remote works on my Samsung. Intuitive! Got that smart-home feel!.Version: 1.4
Great AppOnly issue so far is it will not adjust volume thru arc connected sonos. Oled75cxpua.Version: 2.0.7
It really works!Saw this app mentioned by 9to5 Mac and it works well! We have a newer Samsung TV. Relays to the tv as fast as a normal remote or the Apple TV remote app. Thanks!.Version: 1.4
Pro Upgrade…I don’t mind that you want to add a subscription to your app and while i appreciate that there is a lifetime option im frankly aggravated that i now have to pay more money to remove a now permanent banner at the bottom of the page. Afaik it doesn’t look like there is a discount on the price although i was an existing user… :(.Version: 2.3.7
Best TV Remote AppI use the TV Remote App with many LG TVs running webOS and I could not be happier. The free app worked well but the premium is worth it to me so that I can run many TVs. The app found the TV on the same WiFi network and with one click it was paired and functioning. Most universal remotes and app never seem to give full control of menus and setup. Without any changes or work arounds, this TV Remote app allowed me to totally control the TV and do away with the TV controller that came with the TV. This TV Remote App solves the solution of adding a TV into my HomeKit automated home. I now tell Siri it is movie time, and the lights go dim and the TV turns on to the proper input, my iPhone or anyone in the family’s iPhone is always on us, so now have control of my TV with no fuss. With out TV Remote App, I would be stuck looking for my remote under the couch. Note you could added a short cut on the iPhone and with Siri the lights will dim, TV on to proper input and the app launches on your iPhone..Version: 2.3.8
Great appI connected this to my Sony tv and now it won’t connect anymore..Version: 1.9.1
ExcellentDon’t base your decision on negative reviews, the app is excellent and it works as advertised and well worth the money. Very frequent updates means the developer cares enough to make it work a smoothly as possible for as many tvs as possible. I have an old Sony Bravia and a newer LG and have no issues. Very clean interface with zero ads and zero clutter. Wish the app would have a dedicated private headphone listening mode since not all tvs have Bluetooth built in, maybe in a future update so I can listen to the tv through my phone when everyone in the house is asleep. Best remote app out there, love it..Version: 1.6.1
Samsung TV’sI purchased the app as it was advertised to work on Samsung. Was unable to connect to any of the 4 Samsung TV’s. Reach out to developer the same day I purchased the app and have had no feedback. I have been contacted by developer and a resolve was provided as such I am amending my rating to 5 stars.Version: 1.4.1
