Dosent work

I'm connected to the Internet and all, but it still says "Cant connect to Roku" And the main reason I got this app was because our IRL remote dosent work, Idk why but the right stick dosent work, like at all, if you press it, but when you do press it down, it just dosent work (dosent go right) So that's my problem with this app.

Yakking

Same things r forever losing single

Fantastic

Great App. Especially when the kids have lost the remote or when your husband has the remote and you can still change the channel.

It Works But...

The remote works fine, just as it’s supposed to but it has this one extremely annoying quality. Every time I use the app (ex: to pause a movie/tv show) and then exit off of the app it turns my volume off. Literally every single time. It’s extremely annoying and I don’t know why it’s happening. Tried to reach out to support but there’s literally no way of contacting them. Pausing a movie or tv show isn’t worth having to turn my volume back on 100 times a day because of this app. I’ll be uninstalling this and just using the remote I have and pressing the back button if I have to walk away.

Disappointed

I was convinced to purchase pro because I thought it would be an awesome upgrade. What I didn’t know is that the volume wouldn’t work even though my roku supports it. Also, if my family uses it, they have to purchase the upgrades themselves, which I can almost understand but it was not clear before the purchase. Further,if I want it on my iPad, I have to purchase the upgrades again, this I can not understand since it is my own device and I have already paid for the upgrades. By far the most disappointing aspect is the difficulty in finding away to contact support. Perhaps some of my issues are fixable however the only way I could find to contact support was through a review. No contact info on the App Store and if you click on app support you get a website with only basic information and still no way to contact the developer. Hopefully we can all get some support and information moving forward.

Meh

This is great when it works - since my husband constantly misplaces the controller. However, it would be nice if it worked for more than 5 minutes before I have to uninstall, reinstall and pray that it works, instead of having to repeat the process! At least half the time I have to uninstall a second time before I can get results. The App keeps disconnecting from the TV for reasons unknown to me.

Keyboard doesn't work

The remote on this app works just like the Roku one but the keyboard doesn't work. That was money wasted.

Scam app

I downloaded this app and it was neat, except you have to pay for volume control!
Volume control worked for one day... sort of. When you take the phone out of the room the volume goes back to zero. I tried adjusting all sorts of settings, refresh the app, ect. Nothing worked. Now (the day after purchasing the volume control) it won’t adjust plume at ALL, it just stays on zero. Tried to get app support but there is no way to contact the company.

Roku phone remote

I lost my remote and I tore my whole house apart looking for it and then someone told me about this app and I got it. Not saying I’m thankful I lost my remote, but I’m so glad I found this app because it’s so convenient and easy. I’m always on my phone when I’m in my room, so I can just turn on the tv just like that. The remote on the app is also really easy to control and figure out. The only thing that got me was they don’t give you the option to control the volume, but you can buy it for 1.99.
