Seamless control for SmartCast televisions
Vizo TV Remote SmartCast is a free iPhone app that converts your handset into a virtual TV controller for SmartCast-equipped sets. By placing both the iPhone and the TV on the same Wi‑Fi network, the app pairs with the television and offers a full remote experience on-screen, removing the need to track down a physical remote.
Main capabilities
- Automatically discovers and links with your SmartCast television for a fast, no-fuss connection.
- Built-in keyboard to simplify typing when searching apps, entering passwords, or filling text fields.
- Large gesture-friendly touchpad for smooth navigation of menus and on-screen items.
- Full remote layout that replicates common buttons and controls found on a standard TV remote.
- Optional paid tiers (including weekly, monthly, and lifetime plans) unlock additional conveniences and advanced features.
Setup and daily use
Getting started is straightforward: install the app on your iPhone, ensure the TV and phone share the same Wi‑Fi network, and allow the app to detect your television. Once paired, you can change channels, adjust volume, browse apps, and tweak settings directly from your phone.
Pricing and upgrade choices
The basic remote functionality is available at no cost. For users who want extra tools or an ad-free experience, the app offers several subscription choices — short-term, recurring monthly, or a one-time lifetime purchase — so you can pick the option that fits your needs.
Recommended substitute
Digipas Smart is a commonly suggested alternative that also provides remote-control features for Smart TVs. It’s available for free and may appeal to users looking for a different interface or feature set.
