What's New in Rokie
1.6.3
June 19, 2024
All bugs have been fixed, preparation for the next iOS release has begun.
The roku remote on the phone comes in clutch if you loose your actual roku remote. I cannot tell you how many times I have had to use the roku remote on the phone because I lost my remote, and each time it works great, never laggy, and connects right away.
I do have a suggestion though. Sometimes, wifi likes to go out which in turn goes out on the roku. Unfortunately, if you don’t have your roku remote, you cannot use the roku app as it needs a wifi to connect. I hope there is someway you guys can make an update where it can still connect to your roku without needing the wifi.
