2.1: your photos and videos on the TV, straight from your phone. Still finds your Samsung, LG, Sony, TCL, Roku or Philips in seconds — no dongle, no IR blaster.
Your iPhone is the only remote you need.
Universal Smart Remote turns your phone into a full-featured TV controller — just connect to the same Wi-Fi and you're good to go. No dongles, no IR blasters, no setup headaches.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Use a full d-pad, volume, channel, and playback controls
- Navigate with a touchpad — just like a laptop trackpad
- Type with your keyboard instead of clicking one letter at a time
- Launch Netflix, YouTube, and other apps in one tap

Ratings & Reviews
This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Your photos and videos, on the TV.
The new Cast tab sends them straight from your library to the screen. Pick a few at once, tap whichever you want next, and the grid marks the one the TV is showing. Video is converted before it goes so it actually starts — and if the TV stops answering, the app tells you instead of spinning.
Casting needs a TV that can receive media, and the tab says so up front when yours can't. It's part of Pro.
The rest of the app reads better too: a real icon on every empty screen, and the setup guide now speaks your language instead of falling back to English.
