### 2/5 — Doesn’t always work

*2026-08-24, version 1.8.2*

Doesn’t always load up the remote 🥴

### 5/5 — Yay

*2026-08-23, version 1.8.2*

Lost my remote my son found the app now we can watch tv.

### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible

*2026-08-23, version 1.8.2*

The overall interface is horrid. Why can’t they at least put a similar interface for iPads and iPhones? I can’t press a button without seeing 2 consecutive ads or a pop-up pressurizing me to go for Premium. Keep some features like accessing channels without Premium. I despise this app. Our TV remote does not work and this was our only option. It’s honestly better to use the controls at the side of the television than this chicken scrap. I hope both the sides of your pillows are warm at night and everything you buy goes on sale the next day.

### 5/5 — Ebony

*2026-08-23, version 1.8.2*

The production is great

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-08-23, version 1.8.2*

I have an older Roku and I have planned for weeks to watch Alien Romulus. I download the remote and I have to pay to use it? This is stupid and  is a useless app

### 3/5 — Ads WHY!

*2026-08-22, version 1.8.2*

Has to be reset to much because of the ads

### 5/5 — ROKIE completes the ROKU package!

*2026-08-22, version 1.8.2*

Many years ago, now, I purchased a heavily discounted television at an after Christmas clearance sale.
It had this app on it called ROKU; and the TV worked more like a computer than a TV.
Anyway, I finally figured it out band have been LOVING IT EVER SINCE. 
ROKIE completes the package

### 4/5 — Too much ads but it’s still good

*2026-08-22, version 1.8.2*

Rokie is an app that I always use when I have down time, it had a lot of ads but it’s alright.

### 5/5 — Review

Works great

### 1/5 — Review bug
