RemoteTV
An iPhone remote for Android TV
RemoteTV turns your iPhone into a remote for Android TV devices on your Wi‑Fi: a big navigation pad, Home, Back, Apps, power, volume, voice search and a YouTube shortcut. It talks to the TV directly over your home network — no account, no cloud service.
Getting started
- Connect your iPhone to the same Wi‑Fi network as your TV, and turn the TV on.
- Open RemoteTV and tap Allow when it asks to find devices on your local network.
- Pick your TV from the list.
- Your TV shows a 6‑character code. Type it into RemoteTV. You only do this once per TV.
Voice search
Tap the microphone, speak, then tap Done — or hold the microphone while you talk and let go when you're finished. The first time, allow microphone access. Your voice goes straight to your TV, which does the search.
Troubleshooting
My TV isn't in the list
- Make sure the TV is on (not in deep standby) and on the same Wi‑Fi as your iPhone.
- Check that Local Network access is on: iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network → RemoteTV.
- Some guest or office networks hide devices from each other. Use Can't find your TV? Enter its IP address on the TV list; the address is usually in the TV's Settings → Device Preferences → About → Status.
- Your TV needs the “Android TV Remote Service” app, which most Android TV and Google TV devices include. If it's missing or old, update it from the TV's Play Store.
“Can't reach” the TV
RemoteTV stops trying after a few attempts when the TV is off or unreachable. Turn the TV on and tap Try Again.
It asks for a code again
That happens if the TV was reset or its paired remotes were cleared. Enter the new code shown on the TV.
Voice search doesn't start
Check microphone access in iPhone Settings → RemoteTV → Microphone. Some TVs don't support voice from remote apps.
No TV at hand?
Tap Try the demo remote on the TV list to try the app without a TV.
