What BluRay remote apps work on the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus?

[Android Central Question]

My kids lost my darn Sanyo BluRay remote. I have tried numerous remote apps, and none of them will work, as for some reason the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus doesn't have an IR blaster. I am more than a little annoyed. Any advice? I also don't currently have WiFi so I cannot use apps that would require the BluRay and my phone to be on the same network.

Unless that Bluray player has its own app to connect, it's unlikely you'll find a third party app that works.

Unfortunately most phones no longer come with an IR Blaster. There are IR Blasters that you can plug into your phone's USB port or AUX jack (if you have one), but I don't have any personal experience with them and online reviews seem mixed.

You may be better off just buying a cheap universal remote from a local retailer.
