# TV Remote vs Hisense Smart TV Remote

The clearest difference is rating: TV Remote at 4.5 against Hisense Smart TV Remote's 2.6. TV Remote also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). Hisense Smart TV Remote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and review sentiment (67% vs 40%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV Remote sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Hisense Smart TV Remote asks for nothing beyond the download.

TV Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Remote has 883 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of TV Remote's written reviews are positive against 67% of Hisense Smart TV Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TV Remote ships an update every 4 days, Hisense Smart TV Remote every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
