(Usually) why do we need one for our mobile remote? ### 3/5 — This comment is a question for the developer *2026-04-03, version 2.2.15* Developer this app is good just why do you need to pay for the volume the quick pass? It’s OK to keep but why do you have to pay for the volume? ### 2/5 — keeps disconnecting *2026-03-11, version 2.2.14* keeps disconnecting from my roku and when i try to re connect it states that there is no device near by or found. good app - when it works. ### 4/5 — Roku *2026-02-15, version 2.2.13* I like the app a lot but I’m upset that I have to pay to use volume ### 5/5 — W app *2026-01-14, version 2.2.13* It is a amazing app me and my friends love using it and I just want to say thank you to the developers/developer for this app ### 4/5 — Good *2026-01-05, version 2.2.13* Grea ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-12-10, version 2.2.13* I just don’t like that we have to pay bc I also have the roco app and it is free ### 5/5 — Buena opción *2025-11-20, version 2.2.13* Si no tienes control al menos este resuelve. Aunque para el volumen hay que pagar. He llegado a pagar y la verdad es un control normal por un mes :) (Claro con wifi) ### 5/5 — U guys are the best because you did not scam me *2025-11-17, version 2.2.13* Ur the best ### 5/5 — How to skip per month... *2025-06-20, version 2.2.11* You click on the x in the corner and enjoy free watching without getting up. I also recommend really well and this is from a 7 - 12 year old ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Difficult to maneuver *2026-07-18, version 2.2.15* Is difficult to maneuver through I’m looking for something specific and can hardly find it ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2026-04-22, version 2.2.15* It doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Total scam *2026-03-14, version 2.2.14* Be very careful with this app, they charged me months after my canceled free trial and no customer service will answer me after 2 weeks of trying to reach them. The remote barely works, adds keep poping. It’s literally a scam. ### 1/5 — Connection issues *2025-10-30, version 2.2.13* Barely ever connects ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-07-08, version 2.2.11* I try to connect to my Roku tv but it says it’s connected but it’s not working and it’s not anything like it says it is ### 1/5 — Infuriating *2025-07-03, version 2.2.11* We download a remote to use with our phones on the chance that the kids lose the physical remote. Every time we try to use this app we have to physically click ok to authorize use AGAIN with the physical remote. If I have the real remote in my hand then why would I be using the app? Fix it 🙄 ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money on this app! *2025-06-15, version 2.2.11* I can find no place to contact the developers to report problems. Even their one page website has no contact information. So I’m trying here. This app used to work great. Recent versions of the app have continuous connection problems. I get frequent connect to Wi-Fi errors when my iPhone is already connected. Then it can’t find the Rokus I have even though I’ve hardcoded their IP addresses in the app and confirmed they’re correct. Eventually it does find them after 5 minutes or so. This app never used to do this. I tried deleting it and reinstalling. This did not solve anything but added a new issue. I had bought the pro version of this app years ago when it was just a single one time price not the current subscription model. There is no place for me to enter my old purchase information. ### 1/5 — Use the official one it doesn’t cost anything *2025-03-25, version 2.2.11* This one all the features are locked ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-02-04, version 2.2.10* I feel this product is not work on my TV. It is a waste of space and I would not recommend to anybody who lost their remote. ### 1/5 — It's not free anymore *2025-02-02, version 2.2.10* I re-did all the system changes and permissions.....and it still doesn't work. They want you to pay for even the basic features, now. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — F *2026-08-20, version 2.3.1* F ### 5/5 — None *2026-08-07, version 2.3.1* 5 stars ### 5/5 — Why I think this is a good app *2026-08-01, version 2.2.15* It really helps me because I was searching for many other Roku apps. They all want me to pay pay weekly or monthly but this app gives you a choice and serve forcing you to pay weekly or don’t use it at all and that’s why I think you should get this app ### 5/5 — 5 *2026-07-18, version 2.2.15* 5 ### 5/5 — great app *2026-06-26, version 2.2.15* has worked great for me so far. i deleted the official roku app because it might be “free” but it’s actually at the cost of mining your data. and selling it to third parties. don’t believe me? go check whatever ad they’re posting and see if it’s not related to something you searched recently on another device. predatory and gross. ROBYTE however is awesome and does not run ads. i think not being able to use the volume for the free version is a small price to pay, and it actually makes me WANT to pay for the subscription because they’re not scummy like the “official” roku app. ### 5/5 — Robyte *2026-06-22, version 2.2.15* It's good ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-15, version 2.2.15* I scared my family by turning of and on the tv ### 5/5 — The best thing *2026-04-05, version 2.2.15* I love it ### 5/5 — Ian Berstler *2026-03-11, version 2.2.14* Ian ### 5/5 — The 67 *2026-03-10, version 2.2.14* It has a lot of 67 and butts --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
