User Reviews

Most reviews criticize TCL Remote Control as overpriced and unreliable. The primary issues are the recurring subscription cost, frequent disconnections and re-pairing needs, and verification code prompts that disrupt usage. Additional complaints include ads gating a free version and a generally non-intuitive UX. A minority report positive results when the connection remains stable.

Pros

When the connection is stable, the app functions as a remote control for the TCL TV (basic remote functionality).
Some reviewers rate it positively, with statements like '10/10. Works exactly as you expect' and 'Good work,' suggesting it can work as intended for some users.

Cons

Subscription-based pricing is a major drawback, with reports of $7 per week (roughly $28 per month) to use the remote features.
Very frequent disconnects and instability: the app often disconnects when you leave the screen and requires re-connecting each time.
Security/verification friction: a verification code is required after each break in action, adding setup friction.
Ads and limited usability in the free/advertisement-supported version, including logouts and interruptions.
Not intuitive and overall poor user experience, with multiple reports of difficulty connecting and losing functionality.

Recent reviews

App is terrible, constantly prompts for upgrades, logged you out, requires to re-log back into the TV. I can’t just use the power button for the TV I paid for without having to subscribe here too

This remote is actually ridiculous. Had my toddler not had a toddler moment and dropped our remote in the toilet i wouldn’t be having to use this dang app not only do they want 9.99 a week everytime you get on the app you have to redo everything including the whole continue screen and what your subscription is and then you have to enter a code from your tv every. Single. Time. Like actually dumb. They need to start taking notes from Roku or Amazon on the apps
