TV Sound Off
Mute the commercials during the game, by voice
Breaks during a football game add up to a lot of ads. Say “game off” when the break starts and “game on” when play is back, without putting down your plate.
iPhone · $0.99 one-time · listed on the App Store as “Game On Now Lite”
Game-day setup
- Before kickoff, open TV Sound Off and tap Find my TV.
- In Settings, keep just the “game off / game on” pair so the broadcast audio rarely sets it off.
- Tap Start listening and leave the app open on screen.
- Break starts: “game off”. Play is back: “game on”.
Watching with friends
Anyone in the room can say it. The app only listens while it is open on screen, and speech is recognized on your iPhone.
Works with
Samsung, LG, Vizio and Sony Bravia smart TVs; TVs with Roku built in (TCL, Hisense, Sharp, Insignia and more); Roku streaming players; and Sonos soundbars and speakers.
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.
