# TV Remote vs Boho Tip

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Boho Tip at 100% against TV Remote's 21%. Boho Tip also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and ads (none vs shown). TV Remote's advantage is ratings volume (617K vs 2) and chart position (#3 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 Boho Tip sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Boho Tip holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Remote has 617K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 21% of TV Remote's written reviews are positive against 100% of Boho Tip's.

TV Remote ships an update monthly, Boho Tip daily. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
