My not very old Samsung TV remote had a battery leaking when I changed out the batteries recently. Now it will work for a few minutes and then quit. I have tried to clean out as much of the leak as possible, but still having issues. TV has a single button for all functions so using without a remote is as bad as texting on a flip phone. (or worse.)

 

I found several phone apps and one that works but is not really user friendly. A few of the others I looked at wanted a lot of information that I am unwilling to share.

 

My question, Would you choose a replacement "universal" remote? or keep searching for a Smart phone app?

 

Thanks for your replies.
