ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TV Remote Control Universal + holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Remote Control Universal + has 13K ratings behind it against 82, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of TV Remote Control Universal +'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 Control Universal + ships an update monthly, Remote for Fire TV every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
