It’s kinda pointless. Really frustrating. Don’t recommend. ### 3/5 — Pop ups what? *2026-06-25, version 2.10* Lost the tv remote so thought I would get one on my phone so I don’t have to get up when holding children. Well the first one had a subscription (not this one) so I thought this app would be promising. Wrong. It finds my tv then wants me to download a Roku remote which my tv is not a Roku tv it’s google. And nothing happens when I try to use it. So it’s just another waste of time. ### 2/5 — Ratings *2026-05-05, version 2.10* Too many ads and also there is no connection ### 5/5 — Smart Control Made Simple *2026-02-26, version 2.9* Enjoy smooth TCL TV management with WiFi connectivity, voice cọmmands, keyboard input and instant access to apps like Netflix and Prime Video ### 5/5 — Smart Remote Control *2026-02-25, version 2.9* Enjoy smart control of TCL Roku Andrọid TVs using smartphone remote with voice keyboard gestures and reliable connectivity support.. ### 5/5 — Smart TCL Connection *2026-02-25, version 2.9* Connect instantly and control TCL Roku Andrọid TVs using smartphone remote with voice keyboard gestures and quick WiFi pairing support.. ### 5/5 — Digital TV Control *2026-02-24, version 2.9* Replace traditional remotes by controlling TCL Roku Andrọid TVs through smartphone remote voice keyboard gestures WiFi support.. ### 5/5 — Easy Smart Navigation *2026-02-24, version 2.9* Navigate TCL Roku Andrọid TVs smoothly using smartphone remote offering voice keyboard gestures fast pairing and connectivity support.. ### 5/5 — Smart TCL Access *2026-02-24, version 2.9* Control TCL Roku and Andrọid TVs easily using smartphone remote with voice keyboard gestures quick WiFi pairing reliable support.. ### 5/5 — Full Control Remote *2026-02-23, version 2.9* Get full control of TCL Roku Andrọid TVs using smartphone remote voice keyboard gestures support.. ### 5/5 — Smart Control Anywhere *2026-02-22, version 2.9* Control TCL Roku Andrọid TVs anytime using smartphone remote voice keyboard gestures WiFi support.. ### 5/5 — Quick Access Remote *2026-02-21, version 2.9* Quickly access TCL Roku Andrọid TVs using smartphone remote with voice keyboard gestures support.. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — $50 a year for no ads! SERIOUSLY? *2026-08-15, version 2.10* Having to pay $50 a year for no ads is ridiculous. I’ll never buy a tcl tv again. The app remote is not really usable without paying because every 5 clicks brings up a 15 sec ad that can’t be closed until finished. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-08-15, version 2.10* Runs an ad every three seconds, totally unusable would not recommend. ### 1/5 — TCL tv remote *2026-07-27, version 2.10* This app is horrible I give it 0 starts but it won’t give that option it dosent always connect work it when it dose work all it dose is go to adds I would not recommend it ### 1/5 — Excessive ads *2026-07-17, version 2.10* The free version of this app is completely useless. Does it work? Sure, so long as you can deal with an ad every 5-10 button presses. I’d pay for the app, I get it, people gotta get paid for their work, but $49.99 for lifetime ad removal? Also, the monthly options to remove ads? Heck no! I will not pay a subscription fee to control my television. Folks, If you need to replace the remote for your TCL TV, just go on Amazon and buy a replacement for $20. ### 1/5 — Stupid amount of ads *2026-06-26, version 2.10* Absolutely ridiculous amount of ads that you have to x out of in order to use remote. Just dumb. ### 1/5 — Wrong app *2026-04-14, version 2.10* App would not allow me to exit. PITA!! ### 1/5 — Bull stuff *2026-04-06, version 2.9* Insane add I hate it can’t change channel till 5 adds later ### 1/5 — This has to be a bad joke *2026-03-26, version 2.9* I see a lot of fake reviews on here. Probably cause no one uses this app. After all I have to go through an add every 20 seconds of using it. I’ve never seen anything so frustrating in my life. I’m literally gonna buy a new remote online and will have to suffer this annoyance for now. ### 1/5 — Não Funciona *2025-09-27, version 2.2* É uma enganação, a única coisa que funciona são as inúmeras propagandas. ### 1/5 — Spammy and Scammy *2025-09-04, version 1.9* Ads are atrocious, don’t downlod ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Powerful Remote Solution *2026-03-01, version 2.9* Control TCL Roku and Andrọid TVs using smart features like DPad navigation and voice input ### 5/5 — Modern TV Cọmpanion *2026-03-01, version 2.9* Enhance entertainment setup with voice cọmmands and keyboard support for TCL TVs ### 5/5 — Direct App Control *2026-03-01, version 2.9* Launch your favorite streaming apps instantly using built in smart keyboard and voice control ### 5/5 — Smart Home Entertainment *2026-02-28, version 2.9* Simplify viewing experience using TCL TV remote with fast pairing, voice search and app access ### 5/5 — Universal TCL Remote *2026-02-28, version 2.9* Cọmpatible with TCL Andrọid and Roku TVs delivering smart connectivity and seamless control features ### 5/5 — No Setup Needed *2026-02-28, version 2.9* Pair instantly with TCL Roku and Andrọid TVs without configuration and enjoy easy entertainment control ### 5/5 — App Launcher Remote *2026-02-27, version 2.9* Access Netflix, Prime Video and installed apps directly using this TCL smart remote with keyboard support ### 5/5 — WiFi Based Remote *2026-02-27, version 2.9* Control your TCL Roku or Andrọid TV through stable WiFi connectivity without cọmplex setup anytime ### 5/5 — Voice Powered Remote *2026-02-27, version 2.9* Use voice cọmmands to launch apps, search content and control playback on TCL Roku and Andrọid TVs effortlessly ### 5/5 — Cọmplete Home Remote *2026-02-26, version 2.9* Simplify entertainment by controlling TCL Roku and Andrọid TVs with quick pairing, app launcher, smart keyboard and smooth WiFi connectivity --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
