REAL AND NO ADS NOT A BOT

For what it is the app is great. No ads not even in a tiny corner and super responsive, even more responsive at times than the actual Roku app its self! I like how I can add it to my activity center. Its always on top so always there when I need it especially that im using it on Mac. When im just hanging out chillen with my Mac next to me I do full screen and its like I have a 15inch screen for a remote. I like it. Seeing how its not a Roku licensed app it would be cool to have different themes for the remote.. think about it.. call me when you do so, so I can get my credit(kidding).

What the Roku App should have been.

Start the app and there’s your remote buttons and favorite Roku apps, right up front. No pushing a wall of β€œJust for you!” suggestions out of the way (TLC. Ugh). Wi-Fi, not infrared so you don’t need to point it directly at your Roku. Raise, lower and mute the volume, even with most soundbars. Turn everything off when it’s time to go to bed. And no batteries to buy! Can our TV-viewing lives get any better?

Good, but has a weird issue

Every couple of weeks, the app simply stops working. I have to uninstall and reinstall it to get it to work again. It’s only a minor inconvenience, but still an inconvenience.
