Is your Hisense a Google TV or a VIDAA model?

Hisense sells two very different kinds of smart TV, and only one works with a Wi‑Fi remote app like Zap. Newer Hisense sets built on Google TV or Android TV pair with your phone over Wi‑Fi — you’ll see the Google TV logo on the box or a “Google TV” row in Settings ▸ System ▸ About. Hisense’s own VIDAA U operating system uses a closed protocol, so no third‑party phone remote can connect to it. If your Hisense runs VIDAA, Hisense’s free RemoteNOW app is the only option; if it runs Google TV, Zap gives you a full remote — D‑pad, keyboard, voice search and app launcher — in seconds, with no setup on the TV.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Does Zap work with Hisense TVs?
Yes for Hisense models running Google TV or Android TV. Hisense VIDAA-based models use a different system and aren't supported.
How do I connect?
Open Zap on the same Wi-Fi as your Hisense TV and pick it from the list — it pairs automatically.
Can it replace my Hisense remote?
Yes — Zap gives you every button, so your iPhone fully replaces a lost or broken Hisense remote.
Lost my Hisense remote — can I still watch?
Yes, while the TV is on and on Wi‑Fi. Enable Network Standby so Zap can power a fully‑off Hisense back on.
Is there a free Hisense TV remote app?
Yes. Zap is a free Hisense remote for any Hisense TV running Google TV or Android TV — the full remote works free with ads, and Premium simply removes them.
Why won’t a remote app connect to my Hisense TV?
The most common reason is a VIDAA‑OS Hisense: its closed system blocks third‑party remotes. Make sure your TV runs Google TV or Android TV and that your phone is on the same Wi‑Fi network.
