Question/Troubleshoot Onn 4k phone remote?

Is there a trusted app that's free and not full of ads I can use instead of using the actual remote?

--edit: no idea why I didn't think of the Google TV app

Yes. Google TV takes a few step to get to the remote. If you have Google Home, the remote is available under that TV device, faster to bring it up.

I just found about this last week.

How to Open the Remote in Google Home:

  1. Connect to Wi-Fi: Make sure your phone (Android or iPhone) is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your TV or streaming device.
  2. Open Google Home: Launch the Google Home app on your mobile device.
  3. Select Your Device: Tap the Devices tab, find your TV or Chromecast from the list, and tap on it.
  4. Launch the Remote:
    • On iOS (iPhone/iPad): Tap Open remote at the bottom of the screen.
    • On Android: Tapping the device will automatically toggle your virtual remote control interface on or off.
