TV (Samsung) Remote Control

A Google user

Worst remote app I've ever tried to use. I say tried, because I've gotten it to work maybe twice since we got our new TV. We keep the remote hidden due to having a toddler, but she largely ignores our phones. Every time I turn the TV off/on, it apparently changes its IP address, because why not! So I have to go to the app settings and try to find/pair with it, 99% of the time it just spins and spins never finding the TV. Poor design and implementation. I expect better from Samsung.

This app has minimal ads and works great. Does everything I want and need it to do with no issues. It will even power your tv on which is nice because a lot of other apps will not connect to your tv unless it is already turned on and connected. I've been using this app since December 2018, so for about 8 months and I have not had a single issue.

It works great! I have two questions. 1, how about make another interface like Samsung's smart remote controller, which has only a few buttons, such as volume, channel, return, confirm, up, down, left and right? 2, I have two TVs, how to easily select one of them? Currently it seems either searching and pairing again, or manually set TV's IP before use.

This app uses your IP address to locate your tv in order to function. I'm not sure if its my tv or the Wi-Fi is just poor but the app has too much trouble connecting. It worked fine to turn the tv on, once I try to navigate i get an error message that my tv is off. Searching for the tv doesn't do much for me either. It stays on the loading screen when my tv pops up on the menu. It may just be better to stop by the store an buy myself an actual remote.

The app works very well, gets 5 stars. My problem is with my Samsung Smart TV which often asks to allow the app to connect. Thus I have to use the physical remote control to authorize it. This defeats the purpose of the app itself. I can't find a TV setting to bypass this. Also, I had to configure my TV with a static ip address, because at times the app could not find the TV - another annoyance. The static IP address solved that. However, most users wouldn't know what to do in such cases.

Amazing! Batteries exploded in my remote rendering it useless. I suffered for a week and then it dawned on me, "there must be an app". This app not only works great but is layed out just like my handheld remote, so nothing new to learn. App Installation was quick and easy. It found my tv right away. Down load to using it took about 30 seconds!!!

Nice Samsung cell remote control. I'm using it as a backup with my 65" Samsung Smart Television; and I'm using it as a NETWORK RC. The settings say it can also be used as a IR remote. The interface and layout of the buttons is very nice. They are just like the factory remote buttons. I like that you can also have a 'beep' or a 'vibration' when any of the buttons are pushed. I don't usually leave 5 stars for any app., because there is always room to get better; but I'm leaving 5 for this app.

Would it be possible to connect it without wifi and also not mess with the settings? Some TV's don't have the same menu's you're giving directions to, not to mention the basic directional buttons on the TV itself don't access all the buttons on the remote, therefore making it impossible to access every interface.

This app is simple and fantastic. It does exactly what it should. It even has a couple additional features like touchpad, that your remote typically would not have. If I did not know any better it would have been designed by Samsung itself. So just easy some of the bravest people in the plans designed by Samsung themselves. Make sure that you set it up before you lose your remote!
