TV Brand Apps

In closing, it's worth noting you can also download similar apps from TV and appliance manufacturers themselves. If you don't need a universal remote, give one of these a try.

Download LG Remote, Vizio SmartCast, Sony Video & TV Remote, Sharp SmartCentral, or Samsung SmartView. Most new phones like the Galaxy S8 have a remote for Samsung HDTVs built-in, too.

A few other popular TV manufacturers have apps available from the Google Play Store. Find yours today.
