Terms of Use

TVkip · Last updated: 2026-11-03

These terms are between you and AR AI LABS LTD (“we”, “us”), the provider of TVkip. They supplement Apple’s standard app licence and the applicable App Store terms. Your mandatory consumer rights are unaffected.

TVkip is provided by AR AI LABS LTD, registered in England and Wales, company number 17483830. Registered office: Suite A, 82 James Carter Road, Mildenhall, United Kingdom, IP28 7DE.

Apple app

1. What the app does

The app turns your iPhone and Apple Watch into a remote for compatible Samsung, LG, Roku, Google TV / Android TV, Sony BRAVIA, Vizio, Hisense VIDAA and Amazon Fire TV televisions and streaming devices on the same Wi-Fi network. It uses the network-control features those devices provide; some need a setting turned on on the TV first, and some models can't be controlled this way (see the in-app help).

What it can't do: iPhones have no infrared blaster, so the app can't control older TVs that aren't connected to your network. Some apps on the TV (for example Netflix or YouTube on some LG and Samsung models) ignore keyboard input from phones; the app offers a fallback that types using the on-screen keyboard. Protected content (for example Netflix or Disney+) may show a black screen when mirrored; that's a copy-protection rule we can't change.

2. Free and Pro

The full remote is free for up to two TVs, with no ads, along with Control Center controls, the Live Activity, the Volume widget, a basic Apple Watch remote and basic Siri commands. TVkip Pro adds extras such as more TVs, screen mirroring, unlimited casting, scenes, Kids Mode, the full Apple Watch app, advanced Siri, all other widgets, custom layouts and themes. The current list is always shown on the Pro screen in the app before you buy.

Pro is available as:

  • Pro Yearly — an auto-renewable subscription, US$14.99 per year, with a 14-day free trial for eligible new subscribers.
  • Pro Lifetime — a one-time purchase, US$29.99 (introductory price US$19.99 for the first 60 days after launch).

Prices vary by country and are shown in your local currency in the app and the App Store before you confirm.

3. Subscription terms (auto-renewal)

  • Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or at the end of the free trial if you don't cancel before it ends.
  • The subscription renews automatically for another year at the same price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
  • Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the end of the current period.
  • You can manage or cancel anytime in iOS Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions, or in the app under Settings > TVkip Pro > Manage Subscription. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep Pro until the end of the period you've paid for.
  • If you cancel during the free trial, you won't be charged. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
  • If the price changes, Apple will notify you and, where required, ask for your consent before renewing at the new price.

4. Refunds

All payments are processed by Apple, so refunds are handled by Apple, not by us. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com, or see Apple's support page "Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple". We can't issue refunds directly, but if something isn't working, email us and we'll try to fix it. Nothing in these terms limits refund or withdrawal rights you have under the law of your country.

5. Family Sharing

Pro supports Family Sharing: if you turn on purchase sharing, up to five family members can use Pro at no extra cost.

6. Restoring purchases

There's no account. To use Pro on a new device, sign in with the same Apple Account and tap Settings > TVkip Pro > Restore Purchases.

7. Acceptable use

Use the app only to control TVs you own or are allowed to control. Don't reverse engineer, resell or redistribute the app except as the law allows.

8. Trademarks and no affiliation

TVkip is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Samsung, LG, Roku, Google, Sony, Vizio, Hisense, Amazon or Apple. Samsung, LG, webOS, Roku, Google TV, Android TV, Chromecast, Sony, BRAVIA, Vizio, SmartCast, Hisense, VIDAA, Amazon, Fire TV, Netflix, YouTube, Apple, iPhone and Apple Watch are trademarks of their respective owners and are used only to describe compatibility. Roku and Roku TV are trademarks of Roku, Inc.

9. TV makers can change things

TV makers can change how their TVs accept network commands through firmware updates. We work to keep up (and can often fix things remotely without an app update), but we can't guarantee every feature will keep working on every model and firmware. If a change permanently removes a feature you paid for, contact us.

10. Warranty and liability

Your statutory rights to digital content of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described are unaffected. We are responsible for foreseeable loss caused by our breach or negligence as required by law. We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. We are not responsible for unforeseeable losses or business losses from using this consumer app.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms for legal, security or service reasons. We will give reasonable advance notice of material changes. Changes will not retrospectively remove rights for purchases already made; where the law requires consent, we will request it. If you do not accept a material change, contact us about your available options.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence continue to apply. The courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction; you may also use the courts available to you under mandatory local law.

Android & Wear OS — English addendum

The Apple-specific licence, prices, subscription timing, Family Sharing and restore instructions above apply only to Apple purchases. This addendum covers the Android app and optional paired Wear OS remote in internal testing. The operator, permitted-use, compatibility, consumer-rights, liability, changes, governing-law and contact provisions above also apply. Last updated: 6 November 2026.

Android requires a compatible 64-bit phone with Android 9 or later. The optional watch remote requires Wear OS 3 or later paired with the Android phone. A reachable TV and trusted local network are required. Features differ from the Apple app; Apple HomeKit, iCloud, Siri and Apple Family Sharing do not apply to the Android app. Screen mirroring in the current Android build shares images/video without audio; protected content may appear black and delay varies by TV.

Android Pro purchases are not enabled in the current internal test. If enabled later, the available product, local price, billing period, renewal terms and any trial eligibility will be shown in Google Play before confirmation. Apple introductory pricing and trial terms are not a promise of Google Play offers. Apple and Android purchases are separate; no transfer of paid entitlements between stores is promised.

When available, restore Android purchases with the Google Play account used to buy them. Manage or cancel recurring Android subscriptions in Google Play subscriptions; uninstalling TVkip does not cancel a subscription. See Google’s cancellation guidance. Refunds follow Google Play’s applicable refund policies and your mandatory consumer rights; contact support for help with purchase problems.
