Lost the remote again? It's behind the couch, under a cushion, or the kids walked off with it — and your show is paused on the wrong screen. TCL Remote turns the phone already in your hand into a full remote for every TCL TV in your home. One app for every TCL TV — whether yours runs Google TV, Fire TV, or Roku. No more juggling three different remotes or guessing which one belongs to which set. Pair once and the app remembers every TV you've ever connected, so you can switch between the bedroom and the living room with a single tap. PAIR IN SECONDS Connect over Wi-Fi in about thirty seconds. Tap your TV from the radar view, type the on-screen code if your TV asks for one, and you're in. Switching TVs later is just one tap on the device name at the top of the screen. A REAL REMOTE, ON YOUR PHONE A precise D-pad with directional haptics that you can feel, dedicated volume and channel rails, and instant access to your apps grid. Launch Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+ and more straight from your phone. TYPE INSTEAD OF PECKING Stop hunting letter-by-letter with the on-screen keyboard. Use your iPhone keyboard to search and log in on the big screen in seconds. VOICE SEARCH BUILT IN Search by voice using your TV's own assistant — Google Assistant on Google TV, Alexa on Fire TV. Find a show without typing a single character. SMART TRACKPAD Swipe to navigate. Trackpad mode turns simple gestures into smooth on-screen movement, so menus feel natural instead of clunky.

Power Status keeps authorized subscribers informed about electricity source changes and shared service conditions. Receive real-time alerts when the electricity source changes. Check the current grid or generator status, see the latest update, review shared wallet balances and energy history, and view service statistics and return estimates. Access is available to phone numbers already authorized by the Power Status service. Notification permission is requested after authorization because alerts are the app’s primary feature. If notifications are disabled, the dashboard remains available and provides a direct path to iOS Settings. Power Status presents operational electricity status and service information provided by the Power Status service.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Power Status at none against TV Remote For TCL's 4. Power Status also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
