The best apps to use your mobile as a controller

You can use your mobile as a remote control as long as it has an infrared sensor, and these applications are the best option to do so.

You can use your Android mobile as a remote control as  long as it has a specific sensor located at the top that will allow you to control a large number of devices, not just your television.

Some Android mobiles today have an infrared sensor located at the top, and despite the fact that it is not a very common feature, the truth is that you can get a lot of use out of it with the right applications. In the long run, it will save you time.

It does not have the best design of Google Play, but the truth is that it is a great option due to the large number of compatible devices it has thanks to its control code system, although its interface can be somewhat confused.

It has a good number of buttons for each remote, which is very useful if, for whatever reason, you have lost your TV remote and need to access a section of its configuration. You can add several different devices, sort them and delete the one that doesn’t interest you.

It has a main screen where the command is placed directly, although it cannot be said that it is a very optimized application, since it is not capable of taking advantage of the full size of the screen.

It is the native universal control application for Xiaomi mobiles, and it is one of the best in its field, since it is compatible with a large number of devices and integrates a clean and intuitive design with which its use is made most comfortable.

In addition, it has some of the most interesting options, such as when you have your TV remote control open, you can use the volume up and down buttons to raise and lower the volume of the television. You can even create shortcuts to your devices.

With these applications you will have the possibility of controlling not only your television by means of infrared, but also other compatible devices such as the air conditioning or a music system.

You just have to install your favorite and start configuring it to forget for a long time about having to search for the remote control every time you want to change the channel or use any other device.
