It works really well and loads faster than the official Roku remote.. I'm getting a different app, because the field around arrow, and the field around the Home button practically overlap. At least a dozen times I've hit the edge of the home button, making everyone have to wait while I go through the steps of getting from the home screen to the show. No headphone. No power off button.

The "free trial" wants $20 on faith that this isn't just another in a huge lineup of scam apps. If you want MORE than a physical remote costs you might want to demonstrate that it works amazingly well before holding your hand out. Totally sus. UPDATE: just returned from Family Dollar where $6.95 got me a remote that works. I could have spent $20 on an app that proved that it worked for a couple of days before asking for such a large amount with zero hardware outlay, no shipping, etc.

This app does work that is true, but the problem comes from the "premium" features. I'll just say this, there are tons off roku and smart TV remote apps that let you do stuff like choose channel from a list and turn volume up and down for FREE. It is a basic function of these apps heck EVEN THE ROKU APP DOES IT FOR FREE. to pay 2 dollars to turn volume up and down and an additional 2 dollars to choose a media app is a very scummy way to make money off this. Basic features behind a pay wall? Ok.
