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 “Just 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?

Best remote ever

So reliable and any help you need is just a text away

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.

Great app

This does everything you’d want from a roku app! I love that you can remap shortcuts too!

LOVE this app!

The fact that this app is free is beyond me. Love it so much. It never disconnects like so many of the other remote apps. Love that it works on Macs and iPhones. Also enjoy the Home Screen and desktop widgets for both!

Sick. Exactly what I needed.

I stream news on TV all day when working from home. I always leave my remote someplace where I forget. When phone calls come in and I’m at my desk, I have to quickly mute the TV. Now I don’t have to find my remote and can do it on my computer! This remote works beautifully!

What the Roku App should have been.

Launch your favorite Roku apps with a click; raise, lower and mute the sound (even on a sound bar); shut everything down when it’s time for bed. Can our TV-viewing lives get any better?

This app is so good

This app does not make you pay and works so good it also connect really good and does not need a code it just connects

Old format

Changed how the layout was
It’s harder to navigate now

Perfect

A million times better than the official Roku app. This is actually responsive, clean and easy to use.

How novel, free and functional!

The app works well. It includes no ads, no subscriptions, no one time buy. The app is easy to use. It includes volume controls, which is very nice. The app seems to be very lightweight and so far no buggy behaviors. Excellent work thank you!

It’s really sad that all of these features being free seems to be a novel idea anymore.

The best

The best, works on older models. Excellent.

A Bug Maybe???

It cuts out randomly but overall it’s all right

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.

Awesome!

This is such a great app to have; deafently recommend!

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!
