TV Remote - Control Remoto App

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

Would be a great app if it actually worked. On Apple Watch if it actually worked and didn’t ask for permission from the TV every single time which forces you to use the remote, repeatedly which defeats the purpose of the app.,3&&&

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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
