JimooTechTo my surprise, this app immediately connected to my TV and controlled it better than my remote! At this point, I don't care if I ever find the remote.

Sony never shipped a proper remote app for BRAVIA TVs, so we did. TV Remote for SONY pairs with your TV over the home Wi‑Fi network — or through your phone's infrared blaster if it has one — and gives you everything the physical remote does, plus a few things it can't.
- Wi‑Fi and IR — works over the network with modern BRAVIA models, or by infrared on phones with an IR blaster.
- Several remote styles — a faithful clone of the original, a compact layout, large keys, and a trackpad mode.
- Picture settings on a slider — adjust brightness, contrast, sharpness and colour without digging through TV menus.
- Launch TV apps directly — your installed TV apps appear in the remote for one‑tap opening.
- Phone keyboard input — type searches and passwords on your phone instead of the on‑screen keyboard.
- Hardware volume keys, sound or vibration feedback, and foldable/tablet‑friendly layouts.
- Minimal ads — a few per day at most, with a one‑time purchase to remove them for good.
Best virtual remote for my Sony Bravia Android TV. Does everything you can do with a physical remote and more. Favourite features are opening a specific TV app from the remote, and using the phone's keyboard to send text to the TV. Recommended 100%.

Works exceptionally well. Connected right away, able to control everything on the TV. Way more customization than expected. And on top of all that, a reasonable one‑time payment to support the dev and remove ads. Well done JaviTech.

The iOS counterpart to our Android Sony remote, rebuilt natively for Apple devices. It controls Sony BRAVIA TVs from 2012 onward over your home Wi‑Fi — no pairing codes, no account, and nothing to configure beyond being on the same network.
- Trackpad navigation — swipe to move around menus, tap to select, just like a laptop touchpad.
- Large Remote style — oversized navigation keys you can use without looking at the screen.
- TV app launcher — open Netflix, YouTube and any installed TV app with one tap.
- Picture & power‑saving settings — brightness, contrast, sharpness and colour, right from your phone.
- Keyboard input with copy/paste, haptic feedback options, and full dark‑appearance support.
- Universal — one download runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple‑silicon Macs and Apple Vision.
- Free to use — light ads keep it free, with an optional in‑app subscription to remove them entirely.
Thank you Javidan for offering a free app to make my life a little simpler when I can't reach the remote or it has fallen behind the couch. I can't find a spot to pay to remove ads from your app but I happily would.

I'm so glad I found this remote app. There's so many functions it allows me to do. Personally I find it easier to work than the actual remote that came with my TV. I'm using it with a 2024 Sony Bravia.

All other apps are trials. Nothing wrong with getting paid for building the app, but if you just need something for a TV with a broken remote you don't use often, this seems good so far.

Roku's own app is big and slow to wake up; most third‑party ones hide the basics behind a subscription. Ours is neither. Remote for Roku TV discovers your device on the network in seconds, stays connected, and adds the things you actually miss when the remote is gone — typing, private listening and casting.
- Instant auto‑discovery — finds every Roku on your Wi‑Fi and reconnects without manual setup.
- Private listening — route TV audio to headphones connected to your phone for late‑night viewing.
- Cast photos, videos and music from your phone to the big screen with one tap.
- Phone keyboard search — type titles and passwords instead of hunting letters on the TV.
- Channel shortcuts — jump straight into Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ and the rest of your channel list.
- Dark, light and large‑key themes, haptic feedback, and a layout that works great on Chromebooks.
- Full control set — power, volume, mute, playback, inputs and the complete navigation pad.
Devs, thank you so much for this wonderful light, simple Roku remote. I've been so frustrated with Roku's big remote app — it's heavy and I have to restart it every time my phone sleeps. This great remote stays awake and has great options. Please don't change it. It's perfect.

My TV is almost 14 years old and my Roku box is almost 3 years old, and after downloading this app it immediately found my device. This app does so much more than my actual Roku remote and it's free, folks!

If you are looking for a Roku remote app for your Chromebook, look no further. It has it all — keyboard, volume up and down, minimal ads, quick response. It is awesome. Thank you, do not change anything.
