Overview: Control Your TV from Your iPhone
Universal Remote TV is an intuitive iPhone app that lets you operate your Smart TV using your phone over a Wi‑Fi connection. It removes the need for a physical remote by providing on‑screen tools to manage everyday TV tasks and streamlines how you interact with your entertainment system.
Main capabilities
- Select the TV’s input source with ease (HDMI, AV, etc.).
- Change channels and navigate TV menus quickly.
- Adjust volume levels directly from your device.
- Use voice search to find content hands‑free.
- Navigate with a spacious touchpad for smoother control.

Compatibility and convenient functions
Designed to work with a wide range of popular television brands and models, the app supports both current Smart TVs and many older models. For compatible sets, Universal Remote TV offers a convenient power‑on feature so you can wake your TV from the phone. It also includes a fast on‑screen keyboard for typing credentials, search terms, and text fields without hunting for individual letters.
Cost and upgrade path
The app is available at no charge, with an optional premium tier that unlocks extra tools and customization. This makes it suitable for users who want a simple, free remote replacement as well as those seeking advanced features through a paid subscription.
