Universal Remote・TV Control Reviews

by You’re Not Cool

You can’t connect a tv without paying.

Said it was a free 3 day trial. Had to pick a plan to download. 2/2/24 It didn’t work on my tv so I cancelled in under 5 minutes. It said I have use of app until 2/2/25. Don’t do it!!! I am very unhappy.

This is trash. First, they want $6.99/wk to use it. I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. As soon as I paid, I paired it to my tv and my tv and UniversalRemoteTVControl crashed. UniversalRemoteTVControl crashes every time it opens and now my tv is not working. I don’t even know how that happens! Do not waste your time. I couldn’t delete UniversalRemoteTVControl fast enough. Prayers for my tv

Worse than any free version. By the way, this is a subscription service. It won’t let you verify it works before you subscribe but it does tell you whether or not it has already “detected your tv.” Quotes are important, because that’s a lie.
It requires WiFi to work and is decidedly misleading to that fact. Wish I could give zero

Downloaded got free trial didn’t have my tv brand plus I found my remote and they will not assist in canceling before my card gets charged I’ve sent out 3-4 emails I’m getting extremely frustrated why would I want to pay for something that doesn’t work and I don’t need?!?!?

I guess a while back I downloaded it to see if it worked without purchasing but didn’t. Today I put in new card information and it charged me out of nowhere. How in the world does that even work? I haven’t had UniversalRemoteTVControl in years.

Downloaded and opened app used it then changed to a different screen. Went back to UniversalRemoteTVControl and it wouldn’t work until you closed it out and reconnected to the TV!! And you have to have the original remote to accept it. Pretty useless!!

This is just insane to pay $59 for year just to use app to turn on and off tv..everything seems to be about $$ what has the world come to

I have a bit older tv that doesn't have the ability to connect to wifi so i can't even connect my tv. How is this a "universal" remote?

by Confused Alpaca

Asking for money for a remote subscription. You’re better off buying a universal remote than paying for UniversalRemoteTVControl.

So I am not one for leaving reviews. If I don’t like UniversalRemoteTVControl I commonly just uninstall. But I have recently lost my TV remote and I am looking for a quick fix so I don’t have to run to the store and get a new one. Upon opening UniversalRemoteTVControl I was prompted to buy a monthly subscription of 5.99 to use UniversalRemoteTVControl.

Not only could I just buy any universal remote for the same price once, but I could just get another the exact remote I need for much cheaper. I was amazed at how many positive reviews this had given the price and even more amazed that UniversalRemoteTVControl has made any money what’s so ever.

What prompted me to write a review was I had just recently received my masters degree in business administration a little over a week ago and was blown away by this clear as day scam of a business idea.

Wouldn’t buy this ridiculous subscription to turn your TV on and off, in the long run it’s probably cheaper to buy 2 remotes Incase you lose the first one😂. Don’t be scammed!

by Ashspicee

App doesn’t work then isn’t easy to cancel the subscription and they do not get back to you in a timely manner

by Nobbinige

Firstly it’s not worth $30.
Only the mute button works.
When asking for a refund they say they dont receive payments so they cannot refund.
Its a scam!

by Little.Betty.White

It’s states 3 day free trial but requires credit card info upfront and in the small print states you need to cancel 24 hours before the trial ends to receive a refund. On top of it all they don’t include a cancellation option on UniversalRemoteTVControl . Even the supposed “email support” is a fake hyperlink. They do they’re best to make it impossible for you to cancel or reach them. UniversalRemoteTVControl didn’t even work for me despite making sure it was connected to same WiFi, tried restarting tv, router, phone, etc. Also, $6 a WEEK to use a remote?! They have different subscription plans hidden that they don’t even explain. Save yourself the headache of dealing with UniversalRemoteTVControl.

by Kokoritwo

It wants you to pay, doesn’t even matter if it will work or not

by Cjw21889

Doesn’t work and immediately starts charging you $6 a week without authorization

by TK In OKC

I was in an endless loop of error messages despite of following all the instructions. I give up.

by Remote Work Not

Control won’t turn on tv. E tv is on and connected to the internet, then app works

by ZaiTheRealist

i need a refund !! i paid for a whole year and UniversalRemoteTVControl stopped working after a week 😡

by Glitch_jay

You need to disconnect and connect all a the time.

by ScaryWhisper

Why do I have to pay to use the remote? I’m not a fan at all

by Marvie47

Remote doesn’t work, I want to cancel without a charge

by FJTAYLEYSL

Worked great till recently, now I can’t pair my Roku TV :( I pay for a universal membership too

by Mrchorizon

Took forever to find my tv but well see if it works

by LaLaMonster87

I thought maybe my Wi-Fi was just weak, but no matter what time of day the remote quickly disconnected from the TV. It only worked for a few seconds, and then nothing. I bought a new app to do the same thing and that doesn’t happen and it doesn’t happen with my Roku remote app for my other TV either so it must just be this one.

by Noah M L

Maybe because I wasn’t paying for the ad free version idk but it couldn’t find 5 different TVs on the same network as my phone

by Puppyandbigdog

I’d like to cancel my subscription, I don’t need UniversalRemoteTVControl anymore and have no idea how to cancel… I’ll change my review rating after I get some help

by Joiebella
