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.
