Terms of Service

Service description

“Universal TV Remote” provides local-network remote control for compatible smart TVs. Read and accept these terms before use. If you do not agree, stop using the app and clear local pairing data. The service provided by qiangu is an independent third-party tool.

Conditions of use

Connect only to devices you own or are authorized to control. Your phone and TV must be on a mutually reachable local network. Some TVs require network control to be enabled, approval on the TV screen, or a matching pre-shared key. You are responsible for ensuring lawful use of the devices you control.

Compatibility and feature limits

Support depends on the TV model, system version, manufacturer interfaces and network configuration. A brand name does not mean that all models are compatible. iPhone has no infrared transmitter available to this app, so it cannot control ordinary infrared devices through this app. Some buttons appear according to device capabilities. Buttons labeled “Power off” do not currently provide network wake-up. Firmware updates may affect connections and features.

Fees

An active auto-renewable subscription is required to use remote controls. Weekly and yearly plans both include all remote features for compatible TVs; availability depends on the model and network. The price and billing period are shown on the purchase screen and Apple confirmation sheet. Eligible users may receive a 7-day free trial on the weekly plan when offered by Apple. No payment is charged during the trial; the displayed weekly price is charged when it ends unless canceled at least 24 hours beforehand. Eligibility is determined by Apple for the subscription group. The yearly plan has no free trial. Without an eligible trial, payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends, the subscription renews automatically and renewal is charged within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. Canceling renewal preserves access until the paid period ends. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. Restore active purchases using the original Apple Account. This version has no ads and requires no account registration. Network or external service fees may apply.

Acceptable use

Do not scan, pair with or control other people’s devices without authorization, interfere with networks, or infringe others’ rights. Prompts displayed on a TV must be approved by someone authorized to do so.

Operation and service changes

Remote commands may immediately change TV volume, channels or power state. Check the target device before use. Network interruptions, TV standby or changes to manufacturer interfaces may cause commands to fail, be delayed or become unavailable. Do not use this tool in safety-critical situations requiring continuously reliable control. We may update features to fix issues or support devices and will explain material changes.

Intellectual property

Rights to the app’s interface, code and original branding belong to their respective rights holders. TV brand names and trademarks belong to their owners and are used only to describe compatibility, without implying authorization, partnership or endorsement.

Privacy and ending use

See the Privacy Policy for information handling details. You may stop using the app at any time, clear local device and pairing data in Settings, or delete the app. Authorization on the TV must be revoked separately in its settings.

Responsibility and contact

These terms do not exclude or limit consumer rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law, or waive responsibilities that cannot lawfully be waived. Disputes should be resolved through discussion or other lawful means in accordance with applicable law.
