Universal TV Remote for All TV

Control your TV from your phone

Universal TV Remote for All TV turns an Android phone into a remote for compatible televisions. It suits households that have misplaced a physical remote, want one controller for several TVs, or prefer using a phone for navigation and typing. The app is developed by BoostVision and is listed in the Tools category.

Works with smart and older TVs

The app supports two connection methods. Wi-Fi control is intended for compatible Smart TVs on the same network, while infrared control can work with older television hardware when the phone has an IR blaster. This gives the app broader use than a remote designed for only one TV brand or connection type.

More than basic remote buttons

• A touchpad-style control area helps with navigation on supported TVs.
• The phone keyboard makes searches, logins and other text entry less awkward than using on-screen TV keys.
• Screen mirroring lets you display the phone screen on a compatible TV.
• Media casting can send supported photos and videos from the phone to the television.

Popularity and practical considerations

Universal TV Remote for All TV has a rating of 4.38 out of 5 from more than 141,000 reviews, with 10,000,000+ installs. Its usefulness depends on TV compatibility and, for Wi-Fi features, a suitable network connection. Infrared control also requires a phone with the necessary hardware. When those requirements are met, it combines everyday remote functions with convenient phone-based typing, casting and mirroring in one app.
