TV Remote was released for iOS last year as an alternative to allowing iPhone users to control their Smart TVs from their iPhone or iPad. This week, the app has been updated to version 2, which brings several new features such as theme options, custom layout, widgets, and more.
The basic idea of the app is pretty simple: the interface mimics the main buttons on your TV remote control, so you can do things like change channels, change the volume, or even access the TV’s home screen without lifting the remote control. . Everything is done from your device. It only takes a few seconds to set up your compatible TV for the first time.
In my experience of using it with a Samsung QLED TV, the TV Remote app works better and is more stable than the official Samsung app.
With the TV Remote app, everything works almost instantly and I don’t have to wait a few seconds for the app to identify my TV, which happens every time with the Samsung app for some unknown reason.
What’s new in TV Remote 2?
The TV Remote 2 app is more customizable than ever. For example, it now has theme options so users can change the look and feel of their virtual remote control. You can even create or install different themes for each TV paired with the app. There is also an option to select specific colors of the remote control in light and dark modes.
Themes sync to your other Apple devices via iCloud, so you don’t have to recreate the same themes on each one. Another new feature allows users to customize the layout of the application. This way you can rearrange the buttons and choose the most useful ones for you.
Other improvements in this update include new and redesigned home screen widgets, accessibility improvements, and faster TV detection.
TV Remote 2 is now available for free on the App Store. However, to unlock some features such as themes and widgets, users must subscribe to TV Remote Premium. The app works with iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. It is worth noting that the application works with LG, Samsung, Hitachi, Toshiba, Sharp and other Smart TVs.
