  • "Universal Samsung Remote TV" is a virtual remote control that lets you control your TV.

Product description

"Universal Samsung Remote TV" is a virtual remote control that lets you control your TV. The application is completely free.

To use the remote control, you must have your mobile / tablet on the same wifi network as your samsung TV and you have to accept the message that appears on your TV. Because the application runs through the wireless network, it is not necessary to be near the TV.

If by mistake you have refused the confirmation message on your samsung TV ( Message for establishing communication ), it is possible to change your selection by going to :
/ Menu / Network / AllShare Settings

In addition to a beautiful design of the remote control, you can use all the functionality of the real remote.

The application works with the following tv :
- Series C (2010) with internet
- Series D (2011) with All Share
- Series E (2012) with All Share
- Series F (2013) with All Share

    The remote control is average in functionality. It does the job without be exceptional. It would help if it was back-lit and showed more detail between "Tools" and "Menu". The TV itself performs well and as expected. A few more connections in the back would have made it better.

    It only works with Samsung TV's so if you don't have a Samsung TV, don't waste your time. I gave it a one because it wouldn't work for me. If you have a Samsung TV then try it.

    I use this app bc my samsung smart tv remote uses up batteries quickly and I'm too lazy to go buy more.

    I use the kindle app to access the smart hub to enjoy Netflix, hulu and hbogo.
    Synching the tv to the kindle app was pretty simple (wireless network) but you do need to accept the pairing using your tv/tv remote....I used the buttons on my tv.

    The buttons do not adjust for the kindle they are small like the other reviews point out...but it doesn't stop me.

    Die App findet den Fernseher nicht automatisch und eine Möglichkeit zur manuellen IP-Eingabe habe ich nicht gefunden. Dafür wird eine ganze Menge Werbung auf den Bildschirm gebracht...
    Eigentlich ist nutzlos noch freundlich ausgedrückt.
    TV twisted remote scheint eine brauchbare Alternative zu sein.
