Choose a remote app based on the platform of your television or streaming box. A single brand can make different types of devices, so start with the “About” section in your TV settings.

Android TV and Google TV — Pultio​

If your television or streaming box runs Android TV or Google TV, take a look at Pultio. It provides remote buttons, text entry from your phone and a touchpad. Individual commands depend on the device and the app currently open on the TV.

Pultio is available for Android on Google Play and iPhone on the App Store. Your phone and TV must be on the same Wi-Fi network.

Samsung TV — a separate app​

For a Samsung television, see Smart Remote for Samsung TV on Google Play. Before installing, check support for your model and the connection requirements in the app description.

Apple TV — choose for the streaming box​

If you watch through an Apple TV box, choose a remote for Apple TV, even if the television itself comes from another manufacturer. The Smart Remote for Apple TV in our collection is installed on an Android phone. Apple TV here means the device you control.

What to check before installing​

  1. The platform running on your television or streaming box.
  2. Your phone’s operating system: Android or iOS.
  3. Whether the app supports your model and the commands you need.
  4. The permissions and connection requirements listed in the store.

Browse all apps or read the Pultio connection guide.
