Comments on RCA Universal Remote for Android

★★★★★ Karen Wilkinson · Oct 15, 2021

This app is likely a scam. When trying to set it up, it asked me to email the model number of my machine if I couldn't find it in a list. There was no list to look through. The email address was a gmail address. Not trustworthy!

★★★★★ Amber Rutschman · Sep 8, 2024

No annoying pop up ads and saves your remote, so it's easy to find. Better than the built-in IR remote that came on my phone!!

★★★★★ RasLos · Apr 28, 2023

My built-in remote on my phone couldn't connect but this app did. Thanks 👍🏾👍🏾

★★★★★ Tahfa Ali · Feb 16, 2023

Whopper whopper jounir double triple whopper flame grill taste with perfect toppers i love this day

★★★★★ Hank Dot · Apr 18, 2021

Great app thank you very much only 5 tries and your app turned my tv on thank you

★★★★★ Mohit Ranadive · Mar 19, 2024

It works, actually. The only problem is buttons are not working accordingly. With channel buttons you can control voice.

★★★★☆ D. Authier · Sep 28, 2022

Works quite well once you find the right configuration. Recommended for RCA electronics.

★☆☆☆☆ Mark Larson · Mar 5, 2023

Does not identify TV without wanting to email unknown source. 100% feels like a pirate and phishing app. 0% trust.

★☆☆☆☆ The Last Ant · Oct 4, 2025

It works, but it is easily one of the worst apps I've ever used, ads are displayed every 30 seconds like clockwork and the delete remote feature literally doesn't work. If you find a remote that is only partially compatible with your device the only way to go back to the search process is to spam buttons until the "is this remote working" prompt comes up.

★☆☆☆☆ Gear Geak · Apr 14, 2025

Garbage. My tv has an IR sensor, but this app can't detect it. Wants me to use the Wi-Fi connection. Tv doesn't have Wi-Fi. Which is why I thought this app would work. It doesn't. Useless.

Trust & Safety: Uses standard networking and ad-related permissions (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE, VIBRATE) and advertising IDs for monetization (AdMob, Facebook Ads). Requires an IR transmitter/hardware to function. The app references multiple libraries and services but does not expose sensitive data beyond typical ad identifiers and essential device permissions.
