Why do I have to pay to change the volume

One of the main features of a remote is changing the volume. My Roku remote recently broke so I had to download this app and I discovered that many options that came with the remote I got with the TV are are locked behind a pay wall in this app. It is ridiculous to me that a app as simple as a remote substitute requires you to pay actual money to change the volume! I have paid Roku enough money by buying the smart TV I don't want to have to pay them more money to change the volume on my channel. As we become more and more attached to the digital world we have to stand up to anti-consumer things like this! I wish I could uninstall this app but I am forced to use it

Just get the free app - save your money

The free app worked great, but I only gave a 3 star rating because of the paid features I was was enticed into buying. I should have saved my money.
When I choose channels, sure I see all my Roku apps, but as soon as I choose one of my apps, I’m back to the free feature that has the arrows to navigate. At that point you need to be able to see your screen because it’s not on the app. Also, my volume control in the app doesn’t work.

Volume

I can blast my tv but never have a way to turn it down do not buy doesn’t work

It works!

I got this app after I accidentally put my remote in the wash with all my throw blankets from the couch. It really works! I bought the upgraded version for $4 because the free one was kind of limited and $4 isn’t much to pay for a functional remote. The only problem I have is that I can’t turn my tv on or off with it, I have to use the button on the back of the tv for that. Besides that, it’s perfect! Definitely worth it.

Don’t buy

Doesn’t fully integrate. Bought the extra features and they don’t even work properly. Volume only goes up not down for example.

Better than replacing AAA batteries

I love that it can type from my iPad and quickly move between apps and home. The only reason I give it three stars is the volume control is not dependable. My iPad manual volume is broken and the only way to change volume is my iPhone. You cannot control the volume with touch screen controls. Even with manual volume down is slower than volume up.

Saved our Day

The store manager at 69th ave and Bell
Daniel Homan is awesome. We were have issues with our warranty replacing our couch because that couch was no longer being made. He stepped in and found us a similar replacement couch and is having it delivered Free of charge. Thank you Daniel. Your very professional and I’ll be back to Ashley based on this moment.

Works great but must pay for features on more than one device

This works great with my iPad. I paid to unlock the features. I also installed it on my iPhone. The app required A payment to unlock all the features on my iPhone. In my opinion, a person should not have to pay two times to unlock features on an app if installed on the devices with the same Apple ID!

Really good!!! One problem...

The only problem is is turning down the volume, I checked on my phone and iPad, and it works perfectly for turning the volume up but needs a bug fix for turning the volume down! It seems to work for about one to three clicks then just dont work until I turn up the volume really loud and then back down (which even then barely works)

That’s the only bad part! Actually works

Love it

My remote was lost. I bought a new one and hated it it was slow and not WiFi. I found the one I lost and was happy until it died. As told by the customer service to download it on my phone but I have my iPad at my side when I am in my chair watching tv. I downloaded it and it is as fast as the original one. Very handy and not easily lost
