Questions
Does it detect commercials automatically?
No. TV Sound Off is a voice remote: you say “game off” when the break starts and “game on” when the game is back. It does not listen for or detect ads by itself.
Does “TV off” turn my TV off?
No. “Game off / game on”, “show off / show on” and “TV off / TV on” only mute and unmute. They never switch the TV itself off or on.
Is my voice sent anywhere?
No. Speech is recognized on your iPhone, the app listens only while it is open on screen, and it talks only to your TV over your home Wi-Fi. No account, no tracking, no data collected.
What does it cost?
$0.99 one-time on the App Store, no subscription.
What do I need?
An iPhone on iOS 17 or later, on the same Wi-Fi network as your TV. Voice commands need an iPhone that supports on-device speech recognition for English (US); the on-screen buttons and Siri actions work on any supported iPhone.
Why is it called Game On Now Lite on the App Store?
TV Sound Off is listed on the App Store as “Game On Now Lite”. It is the same app.
