Restoring purchases
Okay so the remote is awesome. But I’m not going allow you to keep making money off me. I originally purchased on my old phone. Got a new one, restored all my apps, and yours wouldn’t restore my purchase. Oh well. I paid for it again because of how awesome it works. But I open it today and literally ad after ad it’s almost unusable. And again, your ‘Restore Purchase’ button still does not work. Your not getting another $1.99 from me. I wonder how many others you’ve done this too. Seems like a scam to me. Don’t let the app milk you for money. For 9.99 you can replace your Roku remote and not have your phone in your hand all the time.Show lessAlonzoG1
Insane amount of ads
Someone figured out that the Roku remotes were flimsy and they made this app to help people, however, the creators of this app are greedy and money hungry. This app has an add every single time you use it. I mean every single time. Multiple 5 seconds required until you can exit the ads. These also hit you in a row. I wish the creators were better people and didn’t put so so many ads to make money off people. I appreciate the rest just the ads are actually crazy like more than any other app I’ve ever had, almost as many ads as one of those movie bootleg websites.Show lessalexisjessie
Ads for a tv I already paid for
Okay so let me start off and say this is great for when you lose your remote, but keep in mind it will not let you turn your tv on with this app. Your tv must already be on. Also, the app remote doesn’t always connect to your tv. Be aware that you have ads on this app even though you paid for the tv! You’d think after spending $500 plus on a tv they would make the app without ads. The ads constantly pop up and it’s impossible to even use the app with the ads. And they last like 30 seconds at a time. So after you pay to remove the ads then you can finally use the app, as long as it connects.Show lessqueendankula
Love it, but constant ads are disruptive
I love the remote and it’s quite useful. My grandma broke my actual remote so I use this app daily and it does the job, I just hate the constant 30 second ads that disrupt my tv viewing entertainment experience and occasionally my remote disconnects from my tv and connects to my parents’ Roku tv in the other room. I still recommend this appShow lessBeautiful monstaarr
Works but Questionable
Yes when you get down to it, it works as it should. It doesn’t bug out. The buttons work properly. It has all the functionality of a remote. It’s the advertisements that are the problem. Now ad’s on their own are annoying, but not necessarily an issue. My problem is the advertisements impede the functionality of the remote. Randomly two 5 second adds will play, taking up the entire screen, rendering the app entirely useless until you close out of them. Yes, upgrading to remove them is far lower in cost then replacing the remote. However, it’s very sneaky to design the app in a way the renders it completely useless for random intervals unless you upgrade.Show lessMiss Snozzie
Get this app if you can’t find your remote
This app is absolutely awesome! I have no complaints at all and I lose my remote ALL THE TIME and if I lose it and I can’t find it I go directly to this. It’s super easy to setup the only thing you have to do is connect it to your device! That’s it! After that you’re good to go! It works amazingly and it’s not delayed either! If you can’t find your remote then go straight to this app it works just as well! I have no complaints what so ever!Show lessgame player (dont judge)
Convenient yet aggravating
I love how convenient it is to have the remote on my phone since I can’t connect the actual remote to the tv however, you have SICK, and I mean mentally ill to put Ads on a remote app. You have like 5-6 clicks before you come across not ONE but TWO ads that last 4-5 seconds each until an exit button is displayed to return to the remote. Not to mention the remote kind of lags with the “back” button. Anyways, I’d give it a 5 stars forsure if there were no ads. I mean come on, it’s a remote app. Not pandora or SoundCloud.Show lesskwavez
Device rename feature??
I love this app, it’s so smooth (I actually can’t recall it ever skipping or glitching or anything like that) and convenient... I paid for no ads and I have 0 regrets since doing so. However, I think it would be fantastic to have the ability to rename the different Roku devices connected to the same WiFi network as my phone... For instance, there are 3 different Roku Expresses at my home and it’s a mildly inconvenient guessing game until I land on the Express I’m looking for - sort of just trial and error. I’ve tried searching this app for such a feature but haven’t been able to locate it anywhere, so if there’s one thing I could improve about Rokie, I’d implement an option to rename the different devices connected to the WiFi network that one is aiming to connect to from his/her phoneShow lessThe Hot Sexy Taco
Garbage
Everything about this device and this app is pure trash. First of all the device is inexcusable slow and laggy, crashing and freezing often. At first I tried to use the remote that came with the device but it wouldn’t stay connected for more than 30 seconds. So I shelved it for a while, thinking the remote was the issue. Then recently I learned about the remote app, and I was stoked! Maybe I’ll actually get to use this thing. But I quickly realized all of the issues I was having were hardwired into the DNA of this piece of trash. Still slow, laggy, unresponsive, and prone to crashing.
And the kicker? THIS APP HAS ADS. The audacity you people have to put ads on a remote control, and then ASK ME TO PAY TO REMOVE THEM is unbelievable.
In conclusion, everything about Roku is a dumpster fire and whoever’s in charge should be exiled to the forbidden land. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.Show lessGCosgrave
Great app but no ads please
This app was very useful and versatile when it came to changing channels or switching over to other Roku devices with a single button. I like this app but the only thing that kept me from giving it five stars was the ads popping up every few clicks I made. I understand it’s for business purposes for the ads but however I am not looking to find anything new or to be sold on certain things...I just wish to be able to access and use my roku devices when I please.Show lessf**kanickname
