The Smart Remote app basically allows you to transform any Android smartphone or tablet into a universal remote control for your home-based multimedia devices.
What Smart Remote Is and What is Does
Most people who have some sort of entertainment setup in their homes typically have a mess of remote controls. They have the television remote, the cable box or satellite remote, the surround sound remote, remotes for their DVD players and/or their consoles, and perhaps even more. And while there are universal remotes out there on the market, they're typically very expensive and difficult to set up. With the Smart Remote Android app, you can download an app for free that's not only easy to use but that will also allow you to transform your phone or table into a universal remote control for every one of your multimedia devices, if they're programmable. And, of course, you get to operate more than just Samsung products with this app, as many other apps on the market are only capable of controlling Samsung products.
With the Smart Remote app for Android, you can control a very wide range of devices, including but not limited to LG, Sony, Vizio, DirectTV, Apple TV, and more. And there's nothing really complicated about how it all works. You will get some simple programming codes with the app, and then your screen will look like a remote. You'll have channel and volume buttons, menu options, mute, and more. The program is also very intuitive and you can configure your channels so that you can easily manage your media.
