# Asound vs TV Remote

The clearest difference is rating: TV Remote at 4.5 against Asound's 3.0. TV Remote also leads on ratings volume (429 vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). Asound's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 12%) and in-app purchases (none vs 5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV Remote sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Asound asks for nothing beyond the download.

TV Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Remote has 429 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Asound's written reviews are positive against 12% of TV Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Asound ships an update every 4 months, TV Remote every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
