Universo TV Remote Control

Turn your iPhone into a universal remote control for smart televisions and streaming devices.



Simplify Entertainment

When you’re ready to relax at the end of a hard day, do you want to spend the next 10 minutes hunting for a lost TV remote in the sofa cushions?

Place this app on all your iPhones, and a fully functional remote control is always one tap away.



Unified Touchpad and D-pad

In one place, right under your thumb, navigate the user interface of your TV with different gestures.

Swipe up, down, left, right to move without taking your eyes off the TV. Make a long swipe to take a few steps in one motion.

Tap a side of the pad to step once.

Long press a side of the pad to smoothly scroll through menus and program lists.

Built-in back and home buttons keep all navigation convenient in one spot.



Skip to the Action with the Time Jumper

Our remote control includes standard playback buttons like play, pause, rewind and fast forward.

Next to them is our unique Time Jumper feature. It’s like a media “scrubber” that gives you precision control over the current play position in a video. Slowly shift it to rewind or advance 10 seconds at a time. Flick it rapidly to leap to a far-off scene in the video.

Time Jumper works great with YouTube and apps that implement rewind and fast forward similarly.



Multi-Device Support

Set up remote controls for multiple TV’s and streaming devices in one place. One tap switches between them.



Cast Your Photos and Home Movies to Your TV

Make it family slideshow time by sharing photos and videos from your iPhone onto the big screen.



Keyboard Input and Voice Search

Enter text on your TV easily with the standard iOS keyboard or with automatic voice transcription.



Customizable App and Input Buttons

Launch apps with one tap. Switch TV inputs/sources like HDMI1, HDMI2, or Antenna (“Live TV”) from the same screen.

For your most-used apps and TV inputs, make quick access buttons on the main panel. For example, if you have a PlayStation on HDMI1, and an Xbox on HDMI2, make direct access buttons for each.



How Does This App Work?

This app connects with your TV securely on your home wireless network. It doesn’t use IR (Infrared) like a traditional remote control.

Wi-Fi connection is great. You don’t need to point your phone at the TV for it to work. Keeping it on your lap is fine. Nothing blocks the beam. You can even control the TV from another room! Also, there is no cross-interference between two TV’s.

This app uses Apple Bonjour (zeroconf) and Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) discovery to detect devices on your home network automatically to make setup easy.

• Samsung Tizen
• LG WebOS
