Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Remote Control TV at Free against Phoenixx's $1.99. Remote Control TV also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (103 vs 10). Phoenixx's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (44% vs 25%). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Remote Control TV holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Control TV has 103 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Phoenixx's written reviews are positive against 25% of Remote Control TV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
