Hisense TV Remote App

There is a smartphone app called RemoteNOW on the Android mobile and iPhone app stores, and it is the official Hisense TV remote app. It helps control Hisense TV with a phone and can perform all the functionalities of the physical remote.

Tip: If you have not paired the TV and the remote app prior, take a mobile and create a hotspot with the SSID username & password of your Hisense TV’s home network, to which it connects automatically. Then, take another mobile phone with the RemoteNOW app on it and connect to the created hotspot. Now, you can initiate pairing since both devices are linked to the same network.
