The Remote for Vizio TV (IR) by eibicidii is an unofficial infrared remote control app that works with phones and tablets that have a built-in IR blaster. It is compatible with Vizio TVs and is handy in emergency situations when the original remote is lost or has empty batteries.

The app comes with two remotes: a compact remote for smaller phones like Galaxy S-series mini and a full remote for phones and tablets with at least 5" screen. The app does not require any additional hardware and does not have any full-screen ads, push notification ads, or any other annoying pop-up ads.

To use the app, you must point your phone's IR blaster directly at the TV. The usual working range is around 5ft, but it can go up to 15ft in some cases. However, there are some common reasons for issues, such as not having an IR blaster on your phone or tablet, being out of range, or having a Vizio TV model that does not have an IR receiver or is paired with a Bluetooth-only remote.

Overall, the Remote for Vizio TV (IR) app is easy to use and serves as a reliable backup remote for your Vizio TV in case of an emergency.
