| 2022-05-07 |  | | DO NOT FALL FOR THIS FRAUD!!! Google Assistant/Home can already control Roku devices without sketchy third party apps, and Roku has its own remote app. I downloaded this specifically so I can warn people. |
| 2021-12-11 |  | | Great idea, but trying to control a Roku TV with your Google home via quick remote is more of a hassle than it is worth. Every time you want to press any button via voice prompts, it is a two step process then times out. If you want to then hit another button, you have to go through the two step voice commands process again. I could not get my Google home to play specific channels or videos on YouTube. |
| 2021-12-02 |  | | Wouldn't work with Google routines, I would add the command "ask quick remote to press OK" and doesn't do it after adding to a routine but works separately just fine. |
| 2021-08-15 |  | | This solved all my problems with syncing roku tv to Google assistant. Roku TV is not truly voice activated, requires the push of a button on the upgraded remote control or using the app. Now I'm able to walk into my room and just tell my Google home nest what I want on my TV! Functions on TV are controlled with my voice. |
| 2020-03-16 |  | | Voice controls hardly ever work wouldn't bother me so much if i had all the regular remote functions on the app itself. Why would yhere not he power or volume buttons on the app? They're the two most common buttons you'd be pressing anyways |
| 2019-11-03 | | | Ads can be kinda annoying when trying to navigate but not too bad. Nice resource to have when I lose my remote. I think you'll need to buy the app if you want to control the volume. |
| 2019-08-23 | | | Downloaded it to work with my Google home hub, I would tell it to open Netflix and it would go to the who's watching screen and not do anything else. Seems like a bigger hassle then it's worth. Gave it 3 stars because the remote on my phone actually worked as expected. |
| 2019-06-28 | | | the app used to work great but now it only works maybe 50% of the time. the rest of the it just asks "what is your command you can say....." and just repeats that no matter what I say. even when it does work I usually get a message saying that quick remote was unable to reach my roku ( even though it did reach my roku). |
| 2019-06-15 | | | Easy to install, works fine. I had a bit of an issue with the subscription but support team helped me right away. You will blow through your 50 free commands really fast but the full pass is only $1.29. Worth it. |
| 2019-06-05 | | | it works when it wants to... but for some reason. it always disconnects and cannot find my roku. I have to manually put it in every other time. so.... DELETE. THANK YOU, NEXT. |
