Universal Remote Control TV

A remote for the TV you actually have

Universal Remote Control TV turns an Android phone into a controller for compatible televisions and streaming devices. It suits anyone who has misplaced a physical remote, wants one control app for several screens, or prefers using a phone for menu navigation. The app is listed in the Tools category and is made by LeoStudio Global Ltd.

Control across older and newer setups

The app is built to work with both traditional infrared-controlled TVs and modern smart televisions connected over Wi-Fi. Its coverage includes familiar platforms and brands such as Samsung, LG, Roku, Fire TV, Vizio and Sony. That makes it useful in homes where different rooms use different television systems, rather than requiring a separate remote app for each one.

More than channel and volume buttons

Alongside standard controls, the app provides touch-based navigation for moving through menus and browsing on screen. It can also offer quick access to popular streaming services such as Netflix and YouTube. Casting and screen-mirroring tools extend its role beyond remote replacement, letting you send compatible photos, videos or phone content to the television.

A widely used utility

With a 4.47 rating from 78,170 reviews and 1,000,000+ installs, Universal Remote Control TV has a substantial user base. It is a practical choice for a spare-room television, a smart TV with an inconvenient interface, or a household trying to reduce the number of remotes on the coffee table. Compatibility still depends on the television and connection method, but the broad device approach gives it a useful place among everyday TV tools.
