| 2023-07-16 |  | | Works good no problems with my experience with the app. do wish it had a power button to wake or put it to sleep though thats pretty annoying but i can live without it. Just disappointing as it would seem like the obvious first step to any remote. Turning on your device. |
| 2021-03-17 |  | | This app works perfectly! There are little advertisements and rarely we needs to be fixed. Especially due to the fact that I am physically disabled( quadriplegic) diagnosed with transverse myelitis. So I am able to control my TV on my own without depending on anyone else. Rarely has major bugs to fix. Give it 3 Thumbs up. Recommend this to anyone instead of using physical remote or if it is lost. |
| 2020-06-15 |  | | Wont even wait till you are done changing something to load ads ads every 3 seconds will interrupt the functions when the the ads start coming up every 3 seconds sucks don't waste your time. |
| 2020-06-01 |  | | I misplaced the remote for my Roku stick in the living room.it's easy to use my phone and my remote didn't have a microphone on it so it's actually better use my phone so I don't have to type out everything. Thank you for making this app I love it. |
| 2020-01-29 |  | | App freezes. Can't make selections half the time. Purchased annd paid for Premium/no ad, and i'm still getting annoying ads that distract my searches. |
| 2019-12-21 | | | This is the worst app. You cant even sign in to a an installed in roku without a f****ad coming up, I KNOW HAVE 20 WINDOES OPEN WITH CLICK BAIT BECAUSE ITS IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO CLICK ON THEM, it took me 20 minutes and sorry to say i WAS so frusterated i could cry to just sign into the netflix app. Of course you can pay for premium...what? Why? I am going to amazon and buying the firestick. RIGHT NOW. |
| 2019-09-27 | | | I tried another app and it didn't work (well unless I paid for access to another remote app) but after I reset and restarted TV this app worked!! Very satisfied as I cant live without my tv! |
| 2019-08-30 | | | This app didn't even work with my Roku or my TV and I got ads in the middle of me trying to use a remote if you want to make a remote app please don't add ads because it just makes the experience worse for everyone I would give zero stars but sadly I can't so if there were not so many ads and it worked with all roku's I would be happy with this app. |
| 2019-08-27 | | | It works, no question adout it. Has a nice user interface giving it that Roku Remote look. Con: Ad to click rate is a little high, 10 clicks and an ad pops up. That said, if your like me, and your Roku remote keeps sprouting legs and walking off. Than "Remote for Roku", is a must have on your smartphone. |
| 2019-08-26 | | | it's not working so good on my Roku sometimes it works other times it doesn't. so don't get this app. but otherwise this app would be great if it didn't just randomly stopped working. |
