Then it pops up two full adverts for subscribing. After closing both ads (upper left after a few seconds), it pretends not to work. It sees the Roku TV and the Roku stick on the network it connects to neither one. Even after closing the app unfortunately going through both ads again. ### 2/5 — Conmigo *2025-08-09, version 1.2.7* Curtirda ### 2/5 — Review *2024-12-12, version 1.2.5* Doesn’t connect a lot of the times and it’s very slow ### 1/5 — Pay to use *2024-08-30* Literally can’t even use it without paying a subscription ### 1/5 — How do i cancel free trial? *2024-08-21, version 1.1.9* Yuck ### 1/5 — my review *2024-08-17, version 1.1.9* this app is soo bad it said that it could not find my devise when it was right in front of me ### 1/5 — Charging me when I tried to cancel. And constantly charging me still without proper authority *2024-08-16, version 1.1.9* Very upset. ### 1/5 — Money hungry *2024-08-05, version 1.1.9* I’d pay 5 for an app to have a remote but basically paying the price of a new Xbox controller is ludicrous and down right egregious. Just looked it up a physical remote on Amazon is 10-15$. Make it make since! ### 1/5 — I hate you *2024-08-02, version 1.1.9* I was trying for day to connect to my Roku, but when it finally let me connect it keep popping up free trials it's always so mad it wouldn't let me watch the good doctor. So don't get this app. It's a terrible one. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-07-28, version 1.1.9* Didn’t even work every time I would click on a button I was told I had to pay for a subscription ### 1/5 — Requires an additional subscription *2024-07-19, version 1.1.9* Requires an additional subscription as soon as the app opens. Roku is free I’ll just use my remote. ### 4/5 — Replaced my Remote *2024-06-29, version 1.1.8* Does pretty much everything that the original remote did, I still can’t figure out the volume though. If I could figure out the volume it would have 5 stars ### 1/5 — Why *2024-06-02, version 1.1.8* Why are y’all paying for this when Roku makes an app that’s free and it’s official. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — subscription *2026-06-17, version 1.2.9* u gotta buy a subscription to do what the app was made to do ### 1/5 — POS ZERO STARS *2026-04-28, version 1.2.9* Nothing free about this PIECE OF CRAAAAP ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2026-02-25, version 1.2.9* Couldn’t control my tv. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-11-11, version 1.2.8* Do not choose this Roku app it does not connect to tv ### 1/5 — Doesn’t make sense *2025-10-16, version 1.2.8* Can someone tell me why anyone would download this app when roku has their own app that you can use a remote from ur phone for free?
