About IR Remote Control

Universal IR Remote Control allows you to use your phone as a remote control for your TV, DVD, VCR or set-top box. It use the infrared (IR) emitter on your phone to control any of your devices.

Currently you can control the following devices:
* LG TVs
* Panasonic TVs
* Samsung TVs
* Sharp TVs
* Sony TVs
* etc
However more devices will be added. Please use the Send Feedback option from the options menu to request your device and I will add the devices requested most first. Please also send feedback to confirm that the app is working with a particular model (or if it doesn't work).

This app has been confirmed to work with Samsung Galaxy S4 to control Panasonic and Sharp TVs.

To be able to you this app you need a phone with Android 4.4 (KitKat) or later and an infra-red transmitter.

Phones with IR Blaster include Samsung Galaxy S5, S4, S4 Active, S4 Mini, S4 Zoom, Note 3, Note 8.0, Note 10.1, Tab 7.0 Plus, Tab 2, Tab 3, Galaxy Mega, HTC One, Lenovo Medion Lifetab S7852 (there may be more models).

Note: LG G2 is not supported since it use an own proprietary closed interface rather than standard Android interface.

WORKS PERFECTLY ON MY HTC ONE, WITH MY PANASONIC SMART T. V. CONTROLS EVERYTHING, JUST THE SAME AS THE REMOTE CONTROL USED TO DO. AND IT IS VERY EASY TO USE. ONE OF THE BEST ONES I HAVE FOUND. IF YOU WANT A REMOTE TO REPLACE YOUR OLD ONE, THIS IS WORTH A TRY! Just a quick note regarding the I. R EMITTER. Your phone must have a I.R EMITTER. Built into the phone, Like the HTC One series!! Or it will NOT work.

Exactly what I wanted - my TV isn't connected to the internet, so most other remote control apps won't work for me. The only flaw I'd find with it is that the screen isn't responsive, so the buttons are teeny on my tablet (my phone doesn't have an infrared function, so I had to compromise), and it's would be great to be able to customise the remote visually. All the same, I'm chuffed that I found this remote - it's simple, serves the exact purpose that I wanted it for, and saved me having to buy a physical remote.

First off this app is the perfect thing to have on your phone, (That is ofcourse if your phone has an IR Blaster, so many people are giving it one star when they're phone doesn't even support it) works on all major TV brands and finally updated to use Vizio. Some of the remotes work on the other brand tvs because they have some major brand parts in it. Like my vizio remote works on my friends Pixel TV. Only thing I would want updated is the Inputs, I can't switch from TV/AV/HDMI

This is the best least annoying Remote with IR blaster i have found. I dont like connecting my wifi to a bunch of devices especially when its for silly things, so this is perfect for me. Thanks.

I made a homemade IR transmitter for my Android smartphone from a few old TV remotes and a headphone jack. So far this is the only app that actually works with it. If you are like me and have a external IR that you purchased or even made yourself, You must go into the settings in the app and change it to "external IR". Hope this helps!

Setting on far right on menu is not there. - no way to get the app to work with my Panasonic TV - even though I selected TV/Panasonic - waste of time. Would give zero stars. No setting screen no feedback - nothing. If this is no longer broken, I would try again and re-review

Worst and mosy useless app ever. Its got like 5 different types of tvs you can use it on and they dont even work!! Would be 0 stars if given the choice

I dont know why this one has very low average ratings. it works perfectly for me. I tried it with all the tvs in the list and it does work for all of them. also it has pretty simple UI which I think is the perfect design.
