What this Toshiba TV remote app is for
Toshiba TV Remote is an Android app that turns a phone into a remote control for a Toshiba television. It is aimed at people whose physical remote is lost, out of batteries, or out of reach. The developer states that the app is independent and not affiliated with Toshiba.
The app works in two ways, described in the next section, so which one applies depends on the phone and the TV.
Infrared and Wi-Fi control paths
On a phone with a built-in IR blaster, the app sends commands by infrared, the way a conventional remote does. Phones without an IR blaster are not covered by this route.
For supported smart Toshiba models, the app sends commands over Wi-Fi instead. The developer lists this as a separate option, so a smart TV can be controlled even when the phone has no IR blaster.
Choosing a remote layout and starting up
Setup begins by selecting the remote layout that matches your TV. The developer describes the whole process as install the app, pick the matching layout, and start navigating, with no further configuration.
Once a layout is chosen, the phone's screen acts as the controls for moving around the TV's menus.
Using the phone when the original remote is gone
The developer presents the app as a fallback for a lost, flat, or unreachable remote, and as a more convenient way to use a Toshiba TV. It covers basic navigation of the TV, which is the function the listing names.
Because the app is built around matching a layout to a model, it is best suited to people who already know which Toshiba TV they own.
