Description of IR Remote Control

Universal IR Remote Control allows you to use your phone as a remote control for your TV, DVD, VCR or set-top box. It use the infrared (IR) emitter on your phone to control any of your devices.
Currently you can control the following devices:
* LG TVs
* Panasonic TVs
* Samsung TVs
* Sharp TVs
* Sony TVs
* etc
However more devices will be added. Please use the Send Feedback option from the options menu to request your device and I will add the devices requested most first. Please also send feedback to confirm that the app is working with a particular model (or if it doesn't work).
This app has been confirmed to work with Samsung Galaxy S4 to control Panasonic and Sharp TVs.
To be able to you this app you need a phone with Android 4.4 (KitKat) or later and an infra-red transmitter.
Phones with IR Blaster include Samsung Galaxy S5, S4, S4 Active, S4 Mini, S4 Zoom, Note 3, Note 8.0, Note 10.1, Tab 7.0 Plus, Tab 2, Tab 3, Galaxy Mega, HTC One, Lenovo Medion Lifetab S7852 (there may be more models).
Note: LG G2 is not supported since it use an own proprietary closed interface rather than standard Android interface.

    Outdated ..this app has a very limited selection of TV brands, only 7 ..and only has 5 TV Box's with no major brands like DirecTV. This looks very amateurish like a child created it. I will stick with Mi Remote it's cleaner looking panel and has hundreds of TV and TV boxes. It's like night and day.
