Still testing the app

This app forces you to choose between paying for it or writing a review to use it for free. It’s a bit like viewer blackmail. I haven’t had a chance to test it yet, so not sure if I’ll like it but as long as it works like the remote that came with it, it will be just fine.

Thought I was gonna have to buy a new Roku or remote when my remote stopped working. Luckily I found this app and didn’t have to spend money to get a new one! This app works amazing! Highly recommend 10/10!!!

The Roku Remote Control On My iPhone

It’s Marvelous To Have Your Remote Control On Your iPhone And not have to look for another Remote be in control of your television. Changing the settings, sounds stations, along with streaming services without having to search for the location of other devices is a dream come true.

Did not work at all.

I lost my remote to my Hisense TV and I tried to use this until I found the real remote. It never worked. Couldn’t get the tv on, so I ended up using my iPad mini to log into and watch Netflix. It’s crazy they want to charge a monthly reoccurring cost for something that simply cannot be used. Now, I’ve sent a few emails to make sure I won’t be banged each month for something unusable (and I found my original remote that belongs to my tv) so now there is no need for this app, and nobody has responded to my inquiry. Don’t do it! Save yourself the headache!

Saved the day when I needed it!

This app works pretty well over all. Occasional glitches happen, but if I reset the app it works again quickly. Thankful this app was available when I couldn’t find the Roku remote.
