So here's my take on the TCL Android TV Remote app. I've tested a bunch of smart TV remote apps and this one is pretty solid overall. The setup can be a pain, but once it's connected it works really well. And the interface is a little plain, but it gets the job done. Compared to the actual TCL remote, I'd say this is more convenient and the voice search is a nice bonus. The only real downside is the occasional connectivity issues, but that seems to be more of a home network thing than the app itself. If you've got a TCL TV, I'd definitely recommend giving this a try.

Description

Been using the TCL Android TV Remote app for a couple months now. It’s basically a way to control your TCL smart TV right from your phone. Pretty solid app if you’re looking to ditch those old school remotes with the dead batteries.

Here’s what you can do – you can change channels, adjust the volume, even navigate the smart TV menu. There’s also voice search which is pretty cool. And it’s got all the basic remote functions like play/pause, rewind, fast forward, etc. Took me a while to figure out how to set it up, but once you get it connected it works great.

Look, if you’ve got a TCL Android TV, you’ll probably really like this app. It’s not perfect – the setup can be a bit finicky and the interface is a little basic. But overall it does the job and it’s super convenient. Worth checking out if you’re tired of losing your actual remote.
