# FireStick Remote Control TV vs Ringtone Maker

FireStick Remote Control TV and Ringtone Maker both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of Ringtone Maker's written reviews are positive against 10% of FireStick Remote Control TV's. Ringtone Maker also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). FireStick Remote Control TV's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 16). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FireStick Remote Control TV sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Ringtone Maker asks for nothing beyond the download.

FireStick Remote Control TV holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FireStick Remote Control TV has 4K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of FireStick Remote Control TV's written reviews are positive against 50% of Ringtone Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
