Questions

Which TV brands does Simple TV Remote work with?

Smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, TCL, Hisense, Vizio, Philips, Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba, Insignia, onn. and more, as long as they run Google TV or Android TV, LG webOS, Samsung Tizen, Vizio SmartCast, Panasonic My Home Screen or Roku TV.

Why does the brand matter less than the platform?

Many brands sell TVs on several systems. A Hisense TV can run Google TV, Roku TV or VIDAA depending on the model and the country, and only some of those work with an iPhone remote app.

How do I find out which platform my TV runs?

Type your model number into the checker on this page, or look at the TV’s home screen and settings menu, which name the system.

Can one app control TVs from different brands?

Yes. Pair each TV once and switch between them from the bar at the top of the app. One purchase covers every TV you pair.

Is it a universal remote?

For smart TVs on your Wi-Fi, yes. iPhones have no IR blaster, so TVs without a network connection can’t be controlled by any iPhone app.

My brand isn’t listed. Will it work?

Maybe. If the TV runs one of the six platforms, it very likely works. The free check in the app tells you for sure.
