Is there a good iOS app that lets me use my phone as a hotel TV remote?

stayconnect® remote is a specialized utility designed for travelers who prefer not to handle shared physical remotes in hotel rooms. The app connects to the in-room television over the local Wi-Fi network, replicating core functions of a standard remote. This includes power control, channel changing, volume adjustment, and input selection. For a business traveler settling into a room or a family wanting to avoid fumbling with an unfamiliar remote, the app provides a familiar and potentially more hygienic interface. Its performance is intrinsically linked to the hotel's implementation of the underlying SONIFI system. Many users report it works reliably for basic TV control, with some expressing pleasant surprise at being able to power the TV on directly from the app. A common point of confusion, noted in reviews, is that the app is not designed for screen mirroring or Google Cast; any casting functionality would be a separate system managed by the hotel. The app's utility is therefore highly specific and entirely dependent on the property's infrastructure. When supported, it eliminates the need to locate or clean a physical remote, addressing a minor but frequent traveler inconvenience.
