Why this made the cut
A phone-based remote for smart TVs
TV Remote control for All TV turns an Android phone into a remote for compatible televisions and streaming devices. It is aimed at people who have misplaced a physical remote, want one controller for several screens, or prefer using a phone keyboard when searching for shows and entering passwords. The app is developed by BoostVision and listed in the Tools category.
More than basic button controls
The app provides the familiar controls needed for navigation, along with touchpad-style gestures for swiping through menus. A phone keyboard can make text entry less tedious than selecting each letter with a directional pad. Depending on the connected device, it also extends beyond remote control with casting and screen mirroring for sending photos or videos to a larger display.
- Works with a range of TV and streaming-device brands, including Samsung, LG, Sony, Vizio, Apple TV and Fire TV.
- Offers touch-based navigation as an alternative to a traditional directional pad.
- Supports casting or mirroring features for compatible devices.
- Can provide shortcuts for opening selected streaming services.
Best suited to multi-device households
This is most useful when several remotes are spread across the home or when a TV remote is inconvenient for typing. Its broad device focus makes it a practical option for households with different television brands, though compatibility and available controls can vary by model. A shared Wi-Fi connection is generally part of the setup for smart-device discovery and control.
What its numbers suggest
With a rating of about 4.14 from more than 130,000 reviews and 10,000,000+ installs, the app has established a substantial user base. Those figures make it worth considering as a general-purpose remote, particularly if replacing several dedicated controllers is the main goal.
