The need for remote control of a television is uniform, expressed mainly in the ability to change TV channels, TV settings or use the functions built into the TV set. Remote controls have changed over time to meet users' expectations. The latest technologies make it possible to customize remote controls and configure them according to the user's needs. For the average per-son not well familiar with technology and applications, choosing the right one for a particular brand of TV is not the easiest thing to do, as the amount available is overwhelming the Google offer. The aim of the study is to analyze, compare and identify the most functional application for controlling modern TV sets based on classic Smart TV and Android TV software. The analysis covers applications available on the Google platform, i.e. the Play Store.
