However, recurring issues overshadow these positives: pervasive ads, reliability problems (unresponsiveness and disconnects, occasional need to restart), and security concerns (claims of fraud or scammers). A few users also mention extra setup hassles or needing to reselect the remote after sleep. In short, it delivers strong core functionality but its ad-heavy design and stability concerns limit its appeal. ### Pros - Generally reliable remote functionality - Highly praised; considered among the best TV remote apps - Easy to use and user-friendly - Positive overall sentiment (e.g., "AWESOME", "I love it", "Perfect App") ### Cons - Excessive, intrusive ads - Reliability issues: unresponsive, frequent disconnects, need to restart - Security/privacy concerns: fraud warnings and reports of scammers ## Similar extensions and apps - [Universal TV Remote Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.dongbasiki.remotetv.smart.casttv) — 71,799 users - [Universal TV Remote Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/roku.remote.control.tv.remotecontrol) — 3,222,664 users, 4.61 / 5 - [Universal TV Remote: Roku TV](https://chrome-stats.com/d/universal.tv.remote.roku.tv.remote.tvremote.free.rokutv) — 80,698 users - [Roku Remote - Universal Remote](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.wifitv.smarttv.remotecontrol.tvremote.irtv.remotecontroller) — 1,732,519 users, 3.79 / 5 - [Universal TV Remote Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.remote.control.forall.screenmirroring.tv) — 220,221 users, 3.80 / 5 - [Universal TV Remote Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/remote.control.universal.tv.remotecontrol) — 2,454,046 users, 3.55 / 5 - [Universal Remote Control TV](https://chrome-stats.com/d/universal.remote.control.cast) — 5,868,286 users, 4.49 / 5 - [Universal TV Remote Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.universal.tvremote.screenmirror.android) — 19,131 users - [Universal TV Remote Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/eesti.universal.tv.remote.control) — 802 users - [Universal TV Remote For All TV](https://chrome-stats.com/d/ldyt.tvremote.free.universal.control) — 157,236 users, 3.38 / 5 - [Universal TV Remote - Remotely](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.universal.tvremote.control.alltvremote.rokutv) — 349,509 users, 4.33 / 5 - [TV Remote Control for Roku](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.rokuremote.controlremote.smarttvremote) — 162,023 users, 4.52 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.fftools.tvremotecontrol)
