About this app

This is remote control app which allows you to control your Samsung Smart TV over the local network. It's similar to the Smart Touch bluetooth remote like TM1360A, but with the help of your phone/tablet it works also with older TV models which do not have touchpad. Short demos:
- 2016+ TV models: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0xF2vc8Pbg
- 2009-2015 TV models: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxBAkiQ4cqs
The purpose is not to replace the original remote, but it is handy in emergency situations (empty batteries, lost etc). This app has keyboard support that lets you type on your device and then send text to your TV. If your Smart TV does have LAN keyboard interface (not all do!), then it's far more convenient then the original solution (choose letters on the TV's screen one by one).

It should work with all smart TVs with network (LAN or WiFi) interface (I'm using it my F (2013) and N (2018) series TV).
C-D Series (the function "Remote Control" in the settings of the TV must be enabled)! It's usuallly located at Menu -> System Settings. If there is no such setting, then sadly your TV does not support remote control over network.
E-F Series Allshare and K Series MultiView (app must be set as allowed remote application in the Allshare/MultiView settings of the TV)! If this app connects to your TV on the first time, then you have to accept the message that appears on your TV. If you have refused the confirmation message on your TV ("accept device"), it is possible later to change your selection by going to: Menu -> Network -> AllShare Settings or Menu/Tools -> Network -> Expert Settings -> Mobile Device Manager.

Features like keyboard, touchpad and apps list are available on TV models which supports these features.

☆ Make sure your television and phone/tablet are connected to the same local network. This app will only work if your phone and TV are both on the same local network!
☆ First the app tries to find your TV. If it doesn't find it, then you can manually set the IP address of your TV in settings of this app. To see IP address of your TV go to TV's: (usually) Menu -> Settings -> Network or Menu -> Network -> Network Status.
☆ You don't need any external hardware.
☆ Phone/tablet does NOT need to have IR-balster.

No full screen ads, no push notification ads or any kind similar annoying pop-up ads.

If this app doesn't work with your phone or TV, then feel free to e-mail me (your exact TV model). I can try to add support for your phone or/and Samsung TV model.

I have tried other apps after losing my remote when I moved. So many apps had limited compatibility, and one I HAD settled on used annoying popup ads that would inadvertently get clicked when they decided to randomly pop up. In addition, other apps seemed to prioritize input devices when the TV started up, wven if those devices were not turned on at the time. This caused a necessity for extra button presses. This app is none of those annoying quirks, and just plain works. I love the touchpad!

The video explanation link was not helpful at all on how to start linking your phone to the TV. It was touch and go for a moment on figuring out how to get the TV to show the pin # to link to the phone. Once I found that, my world got a lot more convenient. Very easy to use the actual remote on app.

FINALLY I AM SINGING THE HALLELUJAH CHORUS! I have tirelessly searched for a remote app since my last actual remote control (that was brand new) stopped working and I can't figure out why. This is the easiest layout, set up and I am now hooked on Touchpad remote. I appreciate anything that saves me money or at least doesn't rip me off because I don't mind spending, I mind spending and getting no ROI!! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
