What the app turns your phone into

Universal TV Remote Control is an Android app that makes a phone work as a TV remote. It sends commands to the television in place of the handset that came with the set. The listing names Samsung, LG, Android TV, Google TV, Roku, Fire TV and Sony, among other brands.

It is aimed at people who would rather use their phone than hunt for a remote, and at households with a mix of newer and older sets.

Controlling smart TVs over Wi-Fi

For smart TVs, the app connects over Wi-Fi and sends navigation and playback commands from the phone. The listing names Samsung, LG, Android TV, Google TV, Roku, Fire TV and Sony models as supported brands.

Because the control runs on the phone, the on-screen layout replaces the physical buttons of the original handset.

Using an IR blaster with non-smart TVs

Older sets without network features are controlled through an IR blaster, which the listing presents as the route for non-smart TVs. This lets one app cover both kinds of set in the same home.

Nothing in the listing says which phones include an IR blaster, so check that before relying on this route.

Mirroring, sharing and casting to the TV

Beyond remote control, the listing advertises screen mirroring, smart sharing and screencast. Mirroring shows the phone's screen on the television, and screencast sends content from the phone to the set.

These sit in the same app as the remote, so switching between controlling the TV and sending something to it does not need a second tool.

Why a phone can replace the handset

The developer's case is practical: a phone is usually within reach, so the remote is less likely to go missing, and most people find a phone easier to handle than a worn handset with small buttons.

That argument rests on the phone being the thing you already carry, so it fits people who spend much of their day on their device.
