It gets to a point where when ever you want to turn something on real quick almost everyone 2 buttons you press (or more), you get an add that takes atleast 1m or more. Less adds, more downloads. (even though the official app is free) ### 2/5 — It’s ok *2026-08-17, version 1.8.2* Every time I try to click on the button, it says I have to pay and I don’t wanna pay. I thought this app was for free. ### 2/5 — Rokie redeems *2026-08-17, version 1.8.2* Ever since my actual physical, Roku remote broke, and I would have been able to use it, I’ve been trying to find a digital solution on my phone, and this is the best one outside of the free app. So this isn’t bad, but I and I know you have a business, but I don’t really understand. I don’t wanna pay for it. That’s all. ### 4/5 — Ok *2026-08-14, version 1.8.2* Rokie is a good app like I lose my remote a lot and when I do I just go to Rokie and control the tv so yeah get the app today Ty 😁😁👍 ### 5/5 — Roku *2026-08-13, version 1.8.2* It’s so good I I couldn’t find my remote control and my dad told me download this app and I download it. It was so good people need this. ### 5/5 — Muy útil *2026-08-13, version 1.8.2* Me a ayudado mucho desde que mis hijos votaron mi control ### 4/5 — good app *2026-08-13, version 1.8.2* good app for when i lose my remote but the non free paid stuff pops up too much ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Review bug *2026-08-22, version 1.8.2* The app actually works really well however, even after giving it a five star review it still prompt me to give it a review again please fix this ### 1/5 — Evelyn ROHMANN *2026-08-21, version 1.8.2* I’m trying to go on the menu, but it won’t let me ### 1/5 — Laggy *2026-08-21, version 1.8.2* Roku app has been lagging alot lately, I’ll press a button and it won’t register for a few seconds or a minute at times. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-20, version 1.8.2* Too many ads doesn’t automatically connect ### 1/5 — Virus *2026-08-17, version 1.8.2* Occasionally, it’ll send you pop-ups to click on something that says like virus or whatever but it’s fake. It looks like your home screen, but it’s in the actual app so don’t get this. ### 1/5 — Adds *2026-08-16, version 1.8.2* Very handy but lots of adds and if you don’t pay for it its pretty much unusable ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-14, version 1.8.2* I paid for the lifetime pass and that’s apparently no longer a thing. ### 1/5 — Why!? *2026-08-14, version 1.8.2* If I would like to subscribe, then I would do it whenever I feel like it. It’s so annoying how you push and push people to pay for it every single time the app is opened ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yay *2026-08-23, version 1.8.2* Lost my remote my son found the app now we can watch tv. ### 5/5 — Ebony *2026-08-23, version 1.8.2* The production is great ### 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 ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-22, version 1.8.2* Works great ### 5/5 — Can’t find your remote? *2026-08-19, version 1.8.2* This is free with no ads or marketing. I was about to build one myself but here it is. I think Rokie is a way better Roku Remote than Roku’s own branded app. It is simple, has volume control if you have the right Roku+TV setup and compatibility, which is big for me and the reason why I chose Rokie. It also has access to your channels on your Roku app. Also, can power on Roku and offers keyboard typing (some Apps might have trouble recognizing the keyboard inputs so I can’t say it’s 100%) It connects via WiFi, so both Roku device and Computer/Tablet/Phone have to be connected to the same single WiFi. Then they can communicate and interact with each other. ### 5/5 — Recomendado al 100% *2026-08-18, version 1.8.2* Es muy perfecta para el uso que uno realmente necesita vale ### 5/5 — Roku *2026-08-18, version 1.8.2* I love Roku when I’m relaxing and I don’t want to get up to get the remote ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2026-08-17, version 1.8.2* 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Rookie’s Remote *2026-08-15, version 1.8.2* I’m a Clover. ### 5/5 — Chronic remote loser- love this app *2026-08-14, version 1.8.2* I always lose the remote. This app is so convenient when my remote is lodged somewhere under the bed and I don't feel like moving. I have the pro version and it just makes navigating super easy. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
