# Control Samsung Smart TV vs SIMSONAIR

The clearest difference is rating: Control Samsung Smart TV at 4.3 against SIMSONAIR's 3.1. Control Samsung Smart TV also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 5 months). SIMSONAIR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Control Samsung Smart TV sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. SIMSONAIR asks for nothing beyond the download.

Control Samsung Smart TV holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Control Samsung Smart TV has 232 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Control Samsung Smart TV's written reviews are positive against 33% of SIMSONAIR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Control Samsung Smart TV ships an update every 4 weeks, SIMSONAIR every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
