Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TV Remote Control Plus at 89% against TV Remote's 20%. TV Remote Control Plus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). TV Remote's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (605K vs 7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV Remote sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and TV Remote Control Plus sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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 605K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of TV Remote's written reviews are positive against 89% of TV Remote Control Plus'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, TV Remote Control Plus weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 3, 2026 respectively.
