# 问道口袋版 vs Universal Remote

The clearest difference is rating: Universal Remote at 4.4 against 问道口袋版's 2.2. Universal Remote also leads on ratings volume (283 vs 5). 问道口袋版's advantage is review sentiment (45% vs 9%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Universal Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Universal Remote has 283 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of 问道口袋版's written reviews are positive against 9% of Universal Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
