Both are Roku ### 5/5 — UPDATE- IT WORKS on Roku Ultra *2025-06-12* Developer responded- advised of a Roku software revision, provided a solution.. works well.. **Developer response:** There’s a Roku new setting that must be changed to allow Ro To Sleep to function. This setting is located at Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Control by mobile apps from the Roku home screen. This setting must be set to “Permissive” or “Enabled” to allow Ro To Sleep to function. ### 1/5 — Does not work on my Roku Ultras.. *2025-05-28* No response from tech-support does not work on my Roku ultras waste of money **Developer response:** There’s a Roku new setting that must be changed to allow Ro To Sleep to function. This setting is located at Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Control by mobile apps from the Roku home screen. This setting must be set to “Permissive” or “Enabled” to allow Ro To Sleep to function. ### 2/5 — Where’s the support? *2024-12-23* I wrote to the developers several months ago regarding an error that combined days of sleep. They said they’d get back to me. Months later I wrote again. This time no reply. The problem still persists with no resolution (and no response) from the developers. ### 5/5 — Sleep timer *2024-10-30* I love the fact that I can do this while I’m laying in bed. I don’t have to get up to let my elderly mother know, that it’s time for her to lay down for sleep. So for now she knows that when it’s dark and I’m not in the room. If the TV shuts off on its own. Time for bed. I had to hide the regular remote from her. She would stay up all night. And I know some people say what’s wrong with that? Well, if that happens the next day all she does is fall down and hurt herself. So, I had to figure something out. As of right now this is working. So, Ty. ### 1/5 — app is useless *2021-07-16* no “scan” button found no way to hook up my roku to this app. this app is scam and waste of time. i know it’s not my roku cause it shows on my airplay on any other app but this one. please fix this. ### 5/5 — Finally a solution for putting Roku to Sleep *2020-11-16* I’m glad that somebody finally took the initiative and created an app to put Rokus to sleep. This is a nice little app but I wish there was some confirmation that the sleep timer has actually started. Possibly a clock counting backwards or some type a message that the timer has started. ### 3/5 — Won’t let me upgrade *2020-02-17* Three free tries worked fine for me with my Roku Ultras. However, app won’t let me upgrade! Didn’t expect that to be the function that wouldn’t work. LOL. **Developer response:** This has hopefully been fixed now (better late than never!). ### 4/5 — App is crashing when I try to purchase for unltd *2020-02-16* Love the app and used it with great results for the first 3 nights then when it came time to purchase the unlimited use the app keeps crashing. If it weren’t for that I’d be using it and loving it still! **Developer response:** This has hopefully been fixed now (better late than never!). ### 1/5 — Does. Not. Work. *2020-01-04* App found both units but timer didn’t shut the Roku down. Used up my 3 free tries, glad I didn’t pay for it. Great concept, just needs execution. ## Frequently asked questions about Ro To Sleep ### What does Ro To Sleep do? Ro To Sleep adds a sleep timer functionality to your Roku player.
