TV (Apple) Remote Control

Simple unofficial (this app is not in any way affiliated with the Apple Inc.) Apple TV IR remote control for Android phones and tablets with built-in IR blaster (Samsung Galaxy, HTC ONE, LG G2 etc). It's also compatible with other Apple devices with an infrared receiver (some MacBook Pro, iMac, iPod dock etc). The purpose is not to replace the original remote, but it is handy in emergency situations (original remote is lost, empty batteries etc).

★ Works with Samsung phones and tablets with built-in IR-blaster
★ Works with some phones with Android compatible built-in IR-blaster and Android 4.4 KitKat (like HTC ONE).
★ You must point your phone’s IR blaster directly at the TV. Usual working range is 5-10 (max ~15) ft.
★ No additional hardware is needed.
★ No need to jailbreak your Apple TV.
★ No full screen ads, no push notification ads or any kind of similar pop-up ads!

With some phones in power saving mode or with almost empty battery the IR blaster might not work or range is less then 5 ft.

If this app doesn't work with your phone then feel free to e-mail me (your exact phone model and Android version). Then I can try to add support for your phone/tablet.

Works great. The functioning of my actual Apple remote sometimes comes and goes, so good to have an alternative.

Works great. Nice & simple. Ads aren't intrusive. I've docked it two stars because it keeps the screen always on. Kills your battery in no time. A silly mistake from the developer.

Works as advertised and no ads blocking up your screen. Good function, no need to unpair original remote with Apple TV. I would appreciate a slightly better design, it is very low quality.

IT WORKS, IT WORKS, IT WORKS ! ! ! Absolutely the best droid app for any apple device. it would be better worth ability to view like a. tv appa and also add apps to apple tv. i wish it also had hot buttons for other apps at the very least.

Does exactly what you need. Great if you've lost the remote and can't control the TV at all to get into the setting like some remote apps need

Needs a definite UI update with the new apple tv remote style. The UI now seems to be gen 1 only. Aside from that... It works enough to get you out of a bind.

Remotes go missing all the time or broken even, Apple knows this and their only solution is to spend more money. This is more reason why I don't buy apple products anymore. Aside from that, this app works great and did exactly everything I needed!

Works as advertised. Handy when I misplace the other remote. Would also save you from having to buy a new one, as they are expensive.

Brilliant little ad free app! I lost the remote for my Apple speakers and tried this app on my Galaxy S5 and it worked immediately with full functionality. Well done guys this is a high level of professional software at no cost!

It works fine. Though it doesn't have all of The buttons on a regular remote. But it is good for emergencies.

Lau. R. Jan 23, 2021     

Brilliant. Worked straight away. The controls graphics could be fancier but it works well.

Jua. G. Jun 28, 2019     

Wow! The best Apple TV remote in the store! It just works without any kind of setting.

Literally the remote, just the touch screen version. Works great! Whoever made this is amazing!

Joj. A. Apr 18, 2020     

Really works great... I tried looking and installing on my new lg 6 but i can't find it... Why? So now i have to take care really good on my old lg 5. Even if it is almost not clear because of the broken screen...

I really like to use this i use to have to ask other people for their phones just to control the TV and it would go back and fourth for days until this app came up and i was like it actually works

Works well even with newer generation Apple TV. Not a prefect replacement but it gets the job done.

A. G. u. Feb 26, 2019     

Works so well! No putting in passwords or any of that! Simple and easy to use!

Pol. F. Jul 18, 2019     

Works amazing, old remote broke and this instantly fixed it, I'm using it with a xiaomi mi 9 and works great

Mar. M. Oct 11, 2020     

Works better on Android! I CANNOT get my iPad or iPhone remote apps to function, only this app has worked!

Tes. K. Aug 7, 2020

Fac. P. Nov 26, 2021     

Fantastic and no annoying ads that interrupt in the middle of using it.
