I hope this app is free because it’s great !! I tried everything to get my remote to work to no avail , then discovered this 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Kid lost our remote

Our Roku remote is gone. We looked under couches, beds, in cabinets, in child’s messy bedroom, even in the freezer (hoping I didn’t have Alzheimer’s). The Roku App remote is a lot cheaper than a new remote and every bit as good, in fact, better, because it has an on/off power button, which the other remote didn’t have. We had another remote for that, which we don’t need, anymore. Thank you for your ingenuity.

LOVE IT NEED IT

I always lose my remotes as I have 3 children and I need this my kids are crazy and lose everything love it

Stopped working

My Roku App Remote has stopped working. The issue is that once I click to open it it flashes for a second then it turns off. I’ve tried reinstalling and it still does the same thing, on my iPhone and the other three iPhones that I have it installed.

Why?

I purchased the app and had trouble using it. I assumed because the reviews were so great I should purchase the application. WRONG! I cannot remember being so frustrated trying to use an application. I called someone that I knew had used the application and still was very frustrated. I gave up and deleted the application. To add insult to this situation Apple would not refund my money.
I downloaded the free app from Roku and it worked like a charm. The question that comes to mind is why in the world would anyone pay for this application?
Another regret I have is I cannot rate this application as much worse than a one star.

Broken remote

I broke my remote and someone told me about this app and I get to watch my tv and movies again

Perfection!

I have 2 now sticks in the house and both remotes stopped working pretty early on which was completely frustrating. I heard of this app on a trouble shooting thread and it’s a game changer! I love that it doesn’t require any set up at all either, not even an email address! Works brilliantly... highly recommend, what a find!

Amazing

I’m having a relaxing day and my remote has gone missing how does that happen I have not moved I have just spent 10min looking for it. Then I have just seen I have the remote app this is amazing works perfectly

I like it! But here are some thoughts...

Great app, performs well, there never seems to be any issue connecting to my Roku 3600x, and the latency on a Wireless N network is minimal at best.

Exception: the typing. The lag between typing and the text appearing on screen is significant. Given that there’s little to no lag using other controls, maybe we’ll see a fix in an upcoming patch?

Things I’d like to see:
-Haptic feedback when pressing buttons
-Moveable channels tiles, so I can sort my channels by my most-used.
-Volume-level meter would be helpful, so I’m not eternally holding down the volume button
-Show which Roku I’m connected to on the Remote tab/screen. We only own one Roku right now, but we will own another soon, so that could cause some issues.

Amazing

This app is fantastic and has been a life saver since I lost my now tv remote control. Can not fault it at all.
