Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Any TV Remote Control at 4.9 against Xumo Remote's 4.3. Any TV Remote Control also leads on ratings volume (732 vs 31) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). Xumo Remote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Any TV Remote Control holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Any TV Remote Control has 732 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of Any TV Remote Control's written reviews are positive against 100% of Xumo Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Any TV Remote Control ships an update every 3 days, Xumo Remote every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
