I read somewhere that there was a way to access more controls on the Samsung Watchon app that comes bundled with our tablet but have not found a way to access them if they this. Using watch on in conjunction with the peel remote app I can accomplish everything but it would be nice to have it all in one app... does anyone know if these advanced controls exist or if there is a better way to do things without 2 apps?
Thanks!

Hey all,
I've been using CM for a while, but I always have a lingering regret of going back to stock for the sole purpose of having the TV app. The greatest thing about it was it had a simple TV favourite interface with remote controls and access to other media systems.
Has anyone discovered any apps similar to this? Meaning to take advantage of the IR blaster for the one and have a nice interface with cable TV.

I use the Highly Customizable remote (IR Blaster) called "smart remote" I'ts a little pricey but I believe its well worth it, you can set up anything and everything with it. I have my Denon receiver, BlueRay, Directv, Panasonic Viera TV, and my HD streaming box all connected to the app and if you set it up right you can usually turn all devices on with click of one button, including switching inputs on TV &/or receiver at the same time..here it is on the play market...https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy~~~~~it's made for the HTC One, Hope this helps you!!!

I am using Smart Remote. Also a little pricey but it controls everything I own and even things like HVAC units. Nice interface and easy to set up.

I was wondering if their are any good Remote Apps for the IR blaster with its own TV guide. I tried the Smart TV but it doesnt seem very user friendly. At least not compaired to my last Phone HTC M8 the stock remote app for that was awesome. Is their anyway i could just find the APK for the HTC remote or would that even work. Thanks for anyone who responds. I appreciate your time.

I use this remote app but I don't think it has a TV Guide.

I use smart remote, it has WAY more features than I even need (you can even create macro commands, chaining them together to one button push. No TV guide though. I looked and couldn't find HTC actual apk for their remote software. It might require root to install it even if you had it, but I don't think so.

I use Smart Remote as well. I do have TV Guide. Works Excellent.
There are several apps that have smart remote in the name, Which one are you using?
The 6.99 one has the best reviews.
I use anymote I think it is the best out there however it is quite pricey for the premium version but I definitely think it was worth it. The ability to customize your own remote to have the volume go up and down on your stereo system, channel buttons for your cable box, power for your TV, turn on your ac all on one easy to use remote is great.
PS don't work for the company I just hated watch on.

I also use seriesguide as my TV guide. It is more keeping track of the shows you want to watch over whatever is on TV.

Hi all,
Now that Samsung closed and disabled Watchon, is there any valide alternative? I mean not only an app to control IR but something complete with TV guide exactly as Watchon or HTC Sense TV.
I know on market there's something by peel but are not complete and functional.

Peel smart remote
Hello,
My son as an S7 stock and he has a remote app that can control my new Samsung Smart TV over WiFi but I can't seem to find it the play store or Galaxy Apps. The name shown is simply: "Remote". Anyone have any idea exactly what app this is and how to get it? I like the UI much better than anything else I've seen.
Thanks!
