In iOS devices, we don’t have an IR sensor or transmitter, it means that we cannot use our device as a universal remote control. This feature is very present in Android devices of all ranges, and personally it’s something that I find quite interesting. However, we already know about Apple and its hobbies.
However, TV Remote is a good app that allows you to use your iPhone as a TV remote control for many compatible TVs. How could it be otherwise, it is a universal app compatible with iOS and iPadOS.
Using companies’ own TV apps is painful, mainly because many of us have different brands of TVs in our homes, and anyone who has a Samsung and another LG knows the difference this can make in usage. of the IoT characteristics that they have integrated. However, now that most TVs are equipped with WiFi, an alternative has appeared that unifies all of your iPhone’s TV controls in a relatively easy way. In this case TV Remote, the app we are talking about was developed by Adam Foot, which will sound like the developer of the Shift keyboard.
As we said, the TV Remote app will identify the TVs that are in your WiFi network and automatically offer you a user interface that will allow you to enjoy all of its features. Obviously it wasn’t going to be all oregano, we also have a repertoire of negatives, the first one is that the app (at least while we are testing it) is entirely in English, however, as an advantage we even have an app for the Apple Watch, Siri shortcuts ( we can program TV Operation) and even widgets. This is without a doubt the most comprehensive TV control app we could find. Of course, you will need to pay $ 4.49 if you want to use it, whereas in the US it costs $ 3.99.
