In this article - details about apps to the TVs for TVs Smart TV Samsung, LG, Sony Bravia, Philips, Panasonic and Sharp for Android and iPhone, as well as about universal consoles for the phone. I note that almost all of these applications work on the network: both the TV, and a smartphone or other device must be connected to one home network, for example, to one router - it does not matter by Wi-Fi or LAN cable, and only a few know how to connect With TV on IR (IR), if you have an infrared transmitter on your phone. It may also be useful: unusual ways to apply Android phone and tablet, how to transfer an image from Android to a TV on Wi-Fi Miracast.

TV SAMSUNG SMART VIEW AND SAMSUNG TV AND REMOTE (IR) on Android and iOS
For Samsung TVs, two official Android and iOS applications were available for TV. Samsung Smart View is suitable for any phone and tablet, and works with SMART TV Samsung on Wi-Fi. Samsung TV and Remote (IR) was intended for phones with an infrared sensor, but at the moment it disappeared from official application stores.
Also, as in other such applications, after searching for a TV on the network and connect to it, you will be available to remote control functions (including the virtual touch panel and text entry) and the transfer of media content from the device to the TV.
Judging by the reviews, the application console for Samsung on Android does not always work as needed, but it is worth trying, besides, it is possible that by the time you read this review, the shortcomings have been fixed.
You can download the SAMSUNG SMART VIEW TV remote control from Google Play (for Android) and Apple App Store (for iPhone and iPad).
LG TV Plus and LG TV Remote
The official application that implements the functions of the remote control on iOS and Android for SMART TV TVs from LG, available to date in Play Market and the App Store is called LG TV Plus and is suitable for televisions with Web OS. But you can find the old options of the console, which were called LG TV Remote and download them from third-party sites.
After starting the application, you will need to find a supported TV on the network, after which you can use the console on the phone screen (tablet) to manage its functions, switching the channel, and even to create screenshots of what is currently shown on TV.

Sony Video & TV SideView - Console for TV Sony Bramia on Android and iPhone phones
The official application of the remote control for Sony technology, and in our particular case - for the BRAVIA TV is called Sony Video and TV SideView and is available in app stores for both Android and iPhone.
After installation, when you first start, you will be prompted to choose your television provider (I have no one, because I chose the first thing that was asked - it does not play the role of the console), as well as a list of television channels, the program for which should be displayed in the application .
After that, go to the application menu and select "Add device". A search for supported devices will be found on the network (the TV must be enabled at this time). The application interface changes in the update, but the logic of the work remains unchanged.
Select the desired device, then enter the code that is displayed on the TV screen at this time. You will also see a request for whether it is possible to turn on the TV from the console (for this TV setting will change in such a way that it is connected to Wi-Fi even in the off state).
Ready. The upper line of the application will appear the console icon by clicking on which you will be taken to the ability to remote control, which include:
- The standard Sony console (scrolls vertically, takes three screens).
- On separate tabs - the touch panel, the text entry panel (only work if the TV is opened or the settings item).
In case you have several Sony devices, you can add them all into the app and switch between them in the application menu.
You can download the Sony Video and TV SideView Remote remote from the official application pages:
- For Android on Google Play
- For iPhone and iPad on the AppStore
Panasonic TV Remote 3 TV Remote on Android and iPhone
There is also a similar application for Smart TV Panasonic, available in three versions (I recommend the last - Panasonic TV Remote 3).
In the remote control for Android and iPhone (iPad) for TV Panasonic, there are elements for switching channels, keyboard for TV, gamepad for games of remote control of content on the TV.
Download Panasonic TV Remote You can download from official app stores:
- PANASONIC TV REMOTE 3 - for Android

Sharp SmartCentral Remote.
If you are the owner of a smart TV SHARP, then the official app-directive remote control for Android and iPhone is available for you, able to manage several TVs at once, as well as broadcast content from the phone and from the Internet to a large screen.
There is one possible deficiency - the application is available only in English. Perhaps there are other disadvantages (but unfortunately to me, nothing to test), since the feedback from the official application is not the best. Unfortunately, from the official stores of Applications, the TV panel for Sharp disappeared, but it can still be found on third-party Android application download sites.
Philips TV Remote.
And one more official application - the Philips TV Remote console (previously called Philips My Remote) for TVs of the appropriate brand. I have no ability to check the performance of the application, but judging by the screenshots, it can be assumed that this remote on the telephone for the TV is no less functional than the above counterparts.
Naturally, there are all the standard functions of such applications: viewing online TV, video and image transmission on TV, managing the saved gear records (it also knows how to make an application recovery for Sony) and in the context of this article - remote control TV, as well as its configuration .

Unofficial universal TV panels on Android phone
When searching for a TV for the TV on Android tablets and phone numbers in Google Play, there are many unofficial applications. Of those with good reviews, and possess universal features:- Universal TV Remote to the Sure Universal Remote phone.
- TV Applications from the FreeAppStv developer. In the list of available - applications for remote control of TVs LG, Samsung, Sony, Philips, Panasonic, Telefunken and Toshiba. The design of the remote control is simple and familiar, and from reviews you can conclude that it basically everything works as needed. So, if for some reason the official application did not come to you, you can try this option of the console.
