Description

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.

  • Works somewhat

    By brook abbera
    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
  • Stopped working after a day

    This was great when it worked, but kept giving me a “this device requires approval to access your tv” message on the tv which defeats the purpose of the thing if I have to find the remote in order to approve an input every time. I can’t imagine paying for an app that doesn’t even work.
  • Liking this bar one missing feature

    By Clarkezone
    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!
  • Would Love To Use

    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 to me.
  • Developer is very responsive to feedback

    I 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.
  • Paid for once now they try to get me to pay again

    By Supercomicgirl
    I paid for this back in 2021. I only ever use it to adjust volume. Now the app has updated for a constant ‘tv remote premium’ that will pop up while I’m turning the volume down and will get selected since it pops up where the volume down button was. I will then get redirected to a purchase page. I already bought this app. I have to then go back and drag the remote up to access the now hidden down volume button. Remove the banner. You should not be trying to force purchases on me when I already paid.
  • 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.
  • Deserves zero stars

    Worked for about two weeks but now will no longer recognize my TV, despite it initially connecting automatically. There does not seem to be a way to get a refund or contact the developer so I’ll dispute the charge with my bank. What a total ripoff
  • Awesome app. But……

    By bobovovobov
    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?
  • Keeps disconnecting

    2
    By Kombismoke
    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.
