Oh yeah. A lot of people use the iPhone as a remote for their television through Wi-Fi. You can use your smartphone to control your smart TV from anywhere in the Wi-Fi range. And with Apple TV, you can actually view all the content right from your iPhone and set the ball rolling.
1. Remote TV Control for Samsung
App Store has this smart remote control for your Samsung Smart TV. When your original one is misplaced, you can use this app for all the remote control tasks, from performing basics like switching it on & off to operating apps like Netflix and YouTube.
The best thing about it is you can use Siri shortcuts to perform specific actions using your voice. You can also add controls to your favorite buttons and switch to different sources like HDMI, AV, PC, etc.

2. Panasonic TV Remote 2
A ton of Panasonic television sets can be controlled using this app. The interface is clean and feels familiar right from the word go. Among several impressive features, the one that I have found a very user-friendly is the option to transfer pics from your iOS device to the TV or vice-versa.
The Panasonic TV Remote 2 remote isn’t all that popular among Panasonic users but I think a little tweaking and tinkering gets things working.

3. Amazon Fire TV
This is the go-to app if you own an Amazon Fire TV. It provides an easy and efficient way to control your TV using a combination of touchpad and voice controls. Further, there’s a handy text entry tool that saves you a lot of time when typing or searching for something.

4. Sonymote
If you have Sony TV, you shouldn’t look beyond “Sonymote.” The app features intuitive user-interface and is easy-to-use. Besides, it doesn’t require any settings.
Sonymote has the support for several languages including English, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, and more. The free version of the app comes with ads. And if you want to have an uninterrupted experience, you will need to switch to the premium ($5.99) version.

5. RemoteMaster
I don’t like keeping remotes for each one of my devices and that’s the reason why I have always found “RemoteMaster” a good option. With the support for as many as 6,000 brands and more than 200,000 devices, this remote app has you fully covered.
To be more precise, you can use RemoteMaster to control 14 types of devices such as STB, TV, A/C, DVD, Projector, Internet Box, Fan, Light, Sound, and more. However, there are a couple of things that I would want to see in this app: the intuitive interface and a bit more consistent performance.

6. Universal remote tv smart
This is yet another universal remote control app that I have included in this lineup. With three and a half stars out of hundreds of customer ratings and ranked as the 60th position in the Utilities category, it shouldn’t disappoint you.
Talking about the UI, it seems to be on point. It makes it quite simple to adjust volume and switch channels. There is also a navigation pad to let you control the TV with ease.
One important thing worth noting is that you will have to upgrade to the pro version ($4.99) if you want to use it without any ads.
