ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TV Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Remote has 633K ratings behind it against 82, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of TV Remote's written reviews are positive against 33% of Remote for Fire TV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TV Remote ships an update monthly, Remote for Fire TV every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
