Meet Universal TV Remote Control, the easiest way to command every TV in your home (and hotel room!) from one sleek app. Simply connect your iOS device to the same Wi‑Fi network as the TV and you’re ready to tap, swipe, or speak your way to perfect control. Key Features Instant Pairing – Auto‑discovers all compatible TVs on your Wi‑Fi network in seconds. Complete Remote Layout – Power, volume, channels, input switch, and quick‑launch app buttons—beautifully arranged for one‑hand use. Smart Trackpad & Gestures – Swipe to navigate menus or use two‑finger scrolling on compatible TVs. Built‑in Keyboard – Type search terms and passwords on your phone instead of pecking at on‑screen keys. Dynamic Island & Lock‑Screen Widgets – Change volume or pause playback without unlocking your device. Multiple‑TV Profiles – Save and rename every set in the house (or office) for instant switching. Dark & Light Modes – Adapts to your system theme for effortless viewing at night. How It Works: — Make sure your TV and iPhone/iPad are on the same Wi‑Fi network. — Open the app; your TV appears instantly. — Tap to pair—done! No extra hardware, IR blaster, or cables required. Why You’ll Love It: — Zero Lag – Commands are sent over Wi‑Fi for near‑instant response. — Travel Friendly – Works on hotel networks that allow device discovery. — Energy Saver – Uses a fraction of the power of an infrared remote. — Privacy First – We never collect your viewing data or personal content.

See Continue Watching, upcoming releases, and a calendar of what’s airing next. DISCOVER & DETAILS Search shows, movies, and actors. Open rich detail pages with cast, ratings, trailers, and region-aware Where to Watch offers. Spoiler-aware episode views keep unwatched titles masked until you’re ready. MAKE IT YOURS React to episodes and movies, rate what you finish, pick favourite characters, and unlock achievement badges as you go. Build custom lists. Share a branded snapshot of your stats. CURTAIN CALL When the year winds down, take a cinematic tour of your watch year - time watched, top titles, streaks, and more - then share a year snapshot with friends. OPTIONAL CONNECTIONS Bring your own TMDB credentials for catalog metadata. Optionally sync watched state from Jellyfin or Plex, and hook up Sonarr or Radarr for tracking and downloads. Import a TV Time export or restore from a Curtain Call backup. Optional iCloud or Google Drive backup keeps a private copy you control. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Glance at Continue Watching and Upcoming Episodes without opening the app. Privacy-minded by design: your tracking data lives on device. Catalog metadata and optional servers only connect when you choose to configure them. Requires a TMDB API Read Access Token (you add your own in Settings) for posters, search, and discovery.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Your Curtain Call at none against Remote Control TV's 4. Your Curtain Call also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). Remote Control TV's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
