ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FireStick Remote Control holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FireStick Remote Control has 28K ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of FireStick Remote Control's written reviews are positive against 53% of Roku Super Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FireStick Remote Control ships an update every 3 months, Roku Super Remote every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
