It just works

Thank you Scott for this app! My routine on the couch is to switch focus between Roku TV and MacBook. Handy to be able to mute sound or do other stuff without having to reach for physical remote.

A Flawless Roku Remote for Free!

My Roku remote power button stopped working, so I needed an app to replace it. I was frustrated that so many of the other apps required a subscription for something so basic. This app worked right away and has been excellent. It is actually better than the original remote, and the fact that it is free makes it even better. I have been very happy with it and highly recommend it.

This app is great…

So convenient to use my desktop iMac to control my TCL Roku TV. In fact, it’s better than the remote!
