Description [menu]
Simple unofficial (this app is not in any way affiliated with the Vizio Inc.) CoStar IR remote control for Android phones and tablets with built-in IR blaster (Samsung Galaxy, HTC ONE, LG G2 etc). The purpose is not to replace the original remote. It is handy in emergency situations (original remote is lost, empty batteries etc).
★ Works with Samsung phones and tablets with built-in IR-blaster
★ Works with some phones with Android compatible built-in IR-blaster and Android 4.4 KitKat (like HTC ONE).
★ You must point your phone’s IR blaster directly at the TV. Usual working range is 5-10 (max ~15) ft.
★ No additional hardware is needed.
With some phones in power saving mode or with almost empty battery the IR blaster might not work or range is less then 5 ft.
If this app doesn't work with your Co-Star stream player or phone, then feel free to e-mail me (your exact phone model and Android version). Then I can try to add support for your phone/tablet.
