TV Remote - Universal Remote App Reviews

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.

It 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

Sadly it doesn’t support my TCL Google TV. I hope it will someday.

Would 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

This 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!

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?

Need ability to type in search

Only issue so far is it will not adjust volume thru arc connected sonos. Oled75cxpua

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.

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!

This is by far the best Smart Tv Remote App I have found by far. The design and features are second to none! Love it!!!

I am correcting my rating after receiving a response from the developer. I became aware that there is a fix for switching the TV on.

Just 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.

So 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.

It’s such a joy when something works perfectly and effortlessly, as this does. Bought to use with my LG TV instead of the garbage remote it ships with.

Got 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.

I love the app but when I try to use this app I have to reconnect, this happens every time when I try use this app

I have a LG HU70LAB projector and it seems to be working great.

Pointed 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

Works as described on my 2018 Samsung TV. Very convenient!

I like very intuitive UI and fluid animations. I love the widgets and they work well. 4 stars for slowness of the connection

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.

Cool app to have when I can’t find the remote or want to just change the tv to what I want to watch...

Just stays on the discover screen. Didn’t discover my Samsung QLED TV on the same WiFi network. 4 year old app with just two one-star reviews. Buyer beware

I 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.

Works Great for me. I have 2 LG TVs and it’s great. Looking forward to setting up some Siri Shortcuts tonight.

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!

So much more satisfying and responsive... and comprehensive than Samsung’s remote app.

It was a really easy to pair with my LG. No Vizio support. Hopefully it comes soon.

Live activities don’t work on Lock Screen or dynamic island. Whenever I click a button it just opens the app then shuts it right away. Can’t change volume or anything from Lock Screen or dynamic island.

I love this app when I first add my TV (Sony Bravia), but after a while when I go back into the app it says it’s disconnected and can’t reconnect unless I re-add my tv again. I need a persistent connection or at least for the reconnect button to work for this app to really be useful.

This app did not work for me at all.

Wanted to get an alternative to my Apple TV remote. Both TV’s are managed through my Apple TV devices. Tried several times on both sets. I hope to hear back from the developer about this. Will upgrade my review if I get a response.
