About VizRemote (TV remote control)

This is simple unofficial infrared remote control app for Vizio TV. It works with phones and tablets with built-in IR blaster (Galaxy S4 , S4 mini , Active , Zoom, S5, Note 3, Note 8.0, 10.1, Galaxy Tab (not all), some HTC and LG phones with >4.4.2). The purpose is not to replace the original remote. This app is handy in emergency situations (original remote is lost, empty batteries etc).

Two remotes (push "Menu"):
→ Compact remote for smaller phones (Galaxy S-series mini etc)
→ Full remote for phones/tablets with at least 5" screen.

★ Works with phones and tablets with built-in IR sender with Vizio TVs.
★ You must point your phone’s IR blaster directly at the TV. Usual working range is ~5ft (max ~15ft).
NO additional hardware is needed
This app does NOT have full screen ads, no push notification ads or any similar annoying pop-up ads.

Common reasons for issues:
1. Your phone or tablet does not have IR-blaster or you are not pointing it at your TV or you are out of range (max range 5 - 15 tf).
2. With some phones in power saving mode or with almost empty battery the IR blaster might not work or range is 3-5 ft.
3. Your Vizio TV model does not have IR receiver or it is paired with Bluetooth (only) remote.

Little slow reacting sometimes but it's a working replacement for my original remote

OneTouch work excellently on my Vizio TV from my Galaxy Note 3 no fuss no muss thank you whoever made this I was about to order a new remote on Amazon save me 10 bucks

B70%
by B####:

On older Vizio it has limited use. It will not mute, change input, nor effective in changing channels by entering the numbers. If you use the info button you can't get back except by turning off the TV.

D70%

Only thing you can access is Netflix. Even though there is a button for Amazon it doesn't work! TV settings and Netflix .... That's it. No built in apps on the TV...Iheart, hulu, etc, etc.

Somehow we have lost our remote and we couldn't change the input to the satellite without it. Thanks to this super simple and easy app, the crisis has been averted! Yay! We're back to watching TV with the remote on our phone while we continue looking for the real one. Thanks!

Came home today to a chewed up Vizio remote, thanks to our dog. Unfortunately the vizeo E series doesn't have physical buttons on the TV itself so we were rendered without a TV. This app worked great in a pinch, easy to use interface, sufficient performance. 5 stars in my book. Now I can put off buying a new remote, and my dog has avoided castration.

At a vacation home with my family but the remotes were not working.. Didn't have a problem changing channel manually. But couldn't put volume down when nephews were asleep. Downloaded app, saved the day NBA finals/⚽ here we go :-)

Was working Greta and then after an update, it just stopped working. I've tried changing the TV model setting and it didn't work. I'd give 5 stars if you can make it work again. Help, please... :)

I love this remote app because it's simple and there's nothing you need to do to set it up. Simply install and start using! My Vizio was a hand-me-down from a friend and didn't come with a remote, so this is the best option I've found!

Works GREAT! 5 years ago our 1 year old threw the remote to our new TV away. We managed with our dish remote, but this app is even better! No more reaching around the side of the TV to change input. Yay! Thank you!!!

This is the ONLY review I have ever left on an app! I love it! I can't go to sleep without the tv on, but about 2am I wake up and need it off. The tv was way too loud and I couldn't find the remote anywhere and this tv has NO BUTTONS! This app saved my sleep lol

So I dropped my real remote into my water and it won't work. I can't turn on or off my TV with out a remote. Downloaded this to give it a shot and omg it does everything my real remote can ( could) do!!! Works hulu and Netflix too!!!!!!

Works great with my Vizio 60D. The only issue I've noticed is that when you hit menu, it brings up your app line up across the bottom instead of the menu. So, I gave you 5 stars because I'm sure you'll fix it or tell me what I did wrong.

P.O.S brand new Vizio remote died after buying the TV new only 3 weeks ago. App is amazing and TV turns on and works perfectly. Great App. But this TV is the first and last Vizio product I will ever buy.

My TV remote is usually lost in a couch cushion, so this app comes in super handy. It works very well, and the ads never get in the way. Two thumbs up.

Other apps are so anoying with randm pop up ads making the remote suck. This one has ads but simply at the top, perfect. Please consider making a $1 purchase to remove ads!

We lost our remotes at my job and have trouble reaching the power buttons in some work areas. Found this app with a simple Google search. Technology is a beautiful thing.

J70%

Seems to work so far, very convenient but only 3* for multiple signals sent when you push button singularly.

Z70%
by Z####:

I always lose my remote, never my phone. A must have for any gamer with a Vizio. Didn't have to search for my TV or anything, worked immediately upon download.

by M####:

Thank God I have a tablet that has the thingy... Too bad this app doesn't work on my phone.. But it's alright.

J70%
by J####:

This remote app is exactly like having the real remote. The only reason I rated 4*'s instead of 5 is because you don't have the Keyboard that's on the back of the remote (Reverse side of Actual/Original Remote). If you would add the keyboard for easier typing instead of having to use the directional pad to select each letter to spell something out, I would easily give this app the 5 *'s it truly would deserve!

Lost my remote. This comes in handy!! Just add one thing! FULL KEYBOARD like on the back of Vizio smart TV remotes!

E70%
by E####:

Ugly design, but the app works well and the adds stay out of the way. Would rate 5 Stars if design wasn't so ugly.

F70%
by F####:

I just love that I didn't have to go through any additional set up or anything that requires a physical remote to control the TV. Such a relief now that I don't have to buy a new remote! There are some buttons that won't work but as long as I can control it for the most part then I am happy and grateful!

M70%
by M####:

No buttons for Screen Size, PIC, Refresh. The INFO button brings up the INPUT menu. Otherwise, a great remote. Please add the missing buttons/function.

B70%

Buttons are small so u often hit the wrong things or they're unresponsive. But when it works, it works!

I have 3 boys and a husband that constantly sleeps with the remote and it goes in the seat and stays there until I find it. Now I have a secret weapon they have no idea about. Thanks

by D####:

It would help if everything works. The only thing that works is ch,vol,num,pow and mute. Please fix, the remote gets lost from time to time and when it dose I use the app, but would help if everything works. Thanks.

Amazing, thank you...this is the only review I have ever written on play store! That should tell you something... it's an auto-setup app using the infrared of your phone and works perfectly at that! Even on the early models.

Great, but be sure to hit the submit button or you'll be here all day. My keybd kept dumping me.

LOVE IT! The remote that came with the TV never really worked well, but THIS AP, works wonderfully with great range! It's perfect for my Vizio Smart TV!

I lost the remote to my vizio smart tv, needed to access the tv settings. Downloaded the app, selected "newer models" from the drop-down menu, and immediately was able to interact with my tv. I appreciate not having to manually cycle through remote codes, as other apps of this kind have required.

Awesome! App. Tried 3 other's that didn't work. This one did right away! I didn't have to do anything! Awesomeness!!!

Thank goodness for this app. It may have saved my nerves. Both remotes stopped working while the volume was on high. Within just a few moments of downloading the volume was down. It saved the day!

T70%
by T####:

I have a Vizio remote and a universal remote that for some reason the up and down buttons have never worked. I tried this as a last ditch effort when I needed to adjust the tuner, and it actually worked. This saved me from having to buy a new TV!

Not quite the range of the regular remote, but that's hardly up to the dev. Take it up with samsung, lg, htc, etc.

I don't have the original remote for my tv and this one has worked pretty well replacing it.
