## Review summary

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.
