Zap is a free Android TV remote for your iPhone. Connect over Wi-Fi and control any Android TV — Sony, TCL, Hisense, Philips, Xiaomi and more — with a full D-pad, keyboard and playback.
How it works
Sony, TCL, Hisense, Philips, Xiaomi, NVIDIA Shield — if it runs Android TV, Zap controls it over Wi-Fi.
Connects over your network in seconds — no IR, no cables, no line of sight.
Type to search and swipe like a trackpad — far faster than the physical Android TV remote.
Ready?
Free on the App Store. Point, tap, done.
Google TV is simply the newer interface Google built on top of Android TV, so under the hood they’re the same platform — and Zap speaks to both. Whether your device shows the classic Android TV home screen or the newer Google TV layout, it pairs with your phone over Wi‑Fi the same way. That covers Sony, TCL, Philips and Xiaomi Android TVs, the NVIDIA Shield, Mi Box, and Chromecast with Google TV. You get a full on‑screen remote — D‑pad, play/pause, volume, a real keyboard and voice search — without hunting for the plastic remote or installing anything on the TV.
