Think of this app as a stand-in for a lost remote or a drawer full of them. It comes from One Music Player and belongs to the TV remote apps category. Version 7.0.2 was updated October 28, 2026, and it needs Android 6.0 or newer.
First steps after installing the remote app
Pairing with a television takes a few simple steps. The app offers two connection routes: an IR blaster on the phone, or a wireless Wi-Fi link. Which one you need depends on the TV and on whether your phone has an IR blaster.
Once paired, you can set the remote up to your taste. Gesture navigation with taps and swipes is also available, as are voice commands for essential TV functions.
What the app does well on a Chromecast-style setup
The app is described as a universal remote for all TVs, with casting for Chromecast and other TV controllers. Screen mirroring shows videos, pictures and apps from the phone on the TV without cables.
The developer also says one app can handle several televisions, including source, volume and channel changes, and that it can adjust a sound system's volume too. These are the developer's own claims and have not been tested hands-on.
When Roku Remote or Mi Remote controller fits better
If you own one specific brand, a dedicated app such as Roku Remote (Official) or Mi Remote controller may suit you better. Bluetooth Remote and Nope Remote are other options to compare.
Also consider an alternative if ads bother you. This app shows ads and sells in-app purchases, although the install itself is free.
