ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Universal TV Remote Control・ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Universal TV Remote Control・ has 83K ratings behind it against 173, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of TV Remote's written reviews are positive against 61% of Universal TV Remote Control・'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TV Remote ships an update every 2 months, Universal TV Remote Control・ weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
