KlikyThe best remote app for a Hisense TV is either the Roku, Google TV or Fire TV app, which is free and made by the TV maker, or an independent app such as Kliky, which needs no account and also controls other TV brands. Which one applies depends on the software your Hisense runs, and each asks for that platform’s account. Both need the TV on the same Wi‑Fi as the phone.
The options side by side
| The Roku, Google TV or Fire TV app | Kliky | |
|---|---|---|
| Made by | The platform owner | Orvanta Digital, independent |
| Account | Usually needed | None |
| Other TV brands | No | Yes |
| Cost | Free | Free with ads; subscription for extras |
On Android, the Google TV app has a remote for Hisense Google TV models.
What The Roku, Google TV or Fire TV app is like as a Hisense remote
Hisense has no single app for all its TVs, because the TVs do not share software. A Hisense Roku TV is controlled by the Roku app, a Hisense Google TV by the Google TV or Google Home app, a Hisense Fire TV by the Fire TV app, and VIDAA models by the VIDAA app.
So the first job is finding out which Hisense you own: the Home screen shows a Roku, Google TV, Fire TV or VIDAA logo. A household with two Hisense TVs from different years can end up needing two different apps, which is where one app for every platform saves the most effort.
Before installing any remote app
Look at the In‑App Purchases list on the store page and at the permissions the app asks for; a remote needs local network access and, for voice, the microphone. The longer version is in are TV remote apps safe?.
How to connect a phone to a Hisense TV
- Install Kliky from the App Store or Google Play.
- Connect your phone to the same Wi‑Fi as the TV.
- Pick the TV in the list and confirm on the TV if it asks.
A Hisense Roku TV connects with no code; Google TV models show a six-digit code and Fire TV models a four-digit one.
Who should pick which
- You already use The Roku, Google TV or Fire TV app and are signed in: stay with it.
- You want the remote without an account, or have several TV brands at home: an independent app.
- The TV is not on Wi‑Fi: no app will help; get an infrared universal remote.
