Which TVs does it work with?

Roku TVs and Roku streaming players, LG smart TVs running webOS, Sony BRAVIA TVs with Google TV or Android TV, and Samsung smart TVs with Tizen (2016 and newer). Vizio, Fire TV and Apple TV are not supported yet.

Does it need infrared?

No. Couchius talks to the TV over your home Wi‑Fi, so your iPhone and the TV just need to be on the same network. You don’t have to point it at anything.

Can it turn the TV on?

Yes, when the TV is set to stay reachable in standby: Fast TV start on Roku TVs, TV On with Mobile on LG, Remote start on Sony, and Power On with Mobile on Samsung. Turning it off always works.

Power and volume are free forever. Everything else is free for 7 days with nothing charged automatically, then $14.99 once or $2.99 a month.
