Using ZappIR can turn an LG G3 smartphone into a powerful universal remote control. Joining high end Android smartphones with built-in IR blasters (like the Samsung S4, S5, S6, and HTC One), the LG G3 is a beautiful piece of hardware. North Vancouver, Canada - October 30, 2014 - (iNewswire)
The ZappIR universal remote control app, available in the Google Play store, makes use of the LG G3's built-in IR blaster to turn it into a powerful universal remote control.
The Samsung Galaxy S4, introduced in May of 2013, was the first smartphone with a built-in IR blaster. Several other smartphone manufacturers followed suit, including the HTC One, and most newer Samsung phones (S4, S5, S6, Note 3, etc).
While all of these devices come stock with a remote control app of their own, many users find the stock app insufficient for their needs. For many, the ZappIR remote control app provides the solution.
One of the main features of the ZappIR remote app is its extensive database of over 900,000 IR devices. In an interview with the company founder, James Shannon, he noted, "We have users from all around the world, with countless different devices from a ridiculous number of different brands. Some new, some old, some rather obscure, and we find the remote codes for them." Supported devices include TV, DVD, set top box, cable box, speakers, projectors, media manager, VCR, PVR, XBox.... and the list goes on.
Having the ZappIR remote app in a smartphone is like carrying as many as 15 different remote controls, but without the weight or expense. Physical remote controls frequently get damaged or lost, and the batteries need replacing all the time. ZappIR eliminates the problems of too many remotes, and is only a download away should one ever get a new tablet/phone. With its exceptionally quick programming, having ZappIR on a smartphone is great for travelers who discover the remote in their hotel room is missing.
Powerful and flexible, ZappIR users can also set up macros to automate a series of commands (such as turning on all devices and switching inputs). One popular feature of ZappIR is its customizability. Users can set the color, function, and visibility of each button.
For Android tablets with built in IR blasters (such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, 3, 4, Note 3, 4, 8 and 10), ZappIR can be configured to work in a landscape orientation. In addition, ZappIR is available in 40 languages and is currently marketed in 135 countries where Google Play is accessible.
There is an online database that users can use to check if their home theater devices are already in their database. http://www.zappir.com/#!compatible-devices/cekk. Of course, should a user have trouble finding their device, they can always contact ZappIR support. Chances are the device is already there but listed under a different brand or model, but if not, they will do their best to fulfill requests for new devices to be added their database.
LG G3 users are encouraged to download a free copy of the ZappIR remote app from Google Play.
