About this app
Universal Remote supports hundreds of models with various operating systems and screen resolutions, ranging from basic models no longer in manufacture to 2021 novelties with the most powerful hardware.
The remote differs depending on not only the Smart TV manufacturer but also the type of operating system.

Evidence and review signals
This is where the page changes from an app-store listing into an evidence report: findings, important reviews, pricing and a dated history.

Themes reported by reviewers
No theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.

“WORST APP — First of all, who pays four dollars a week and it has a lot of ads and works very slow. This is the stupidest app.”
