No audio on tv. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2024-09-30, version 1.1.6* Every time you push a button it pops up wanting you to buy ### 1/5 — Forced screen recording and forced purchased *2024-09-15, version 1.1.6* Free app for android works fine but has over priced high cost for iPhone. I don’t want to use it while it records my screen. I want privacy. ### 3/5 — It ok *2024-08-25, version 1.1.6* It’s ok but every time I click one of the buttons this premium thing shows up and I downloaded this bc my remote broke and now I have to delete it and get it bc it said my device isn’t available ### 1/5 — Do not want to upgrade *2024-08-24, version 1.1.6* Just need this app to control the volume. Evert time I touch a button it brings me back to the upgrade screen. Will be finding a different app to control the Roku with. ### 1/5 — Prompt to upgrade for $11.99 every other click *2024-08-17, version 1.1.6* Don’t waste your time on this. Easily discovered my networks/devices and the UI looked acceptable (what little I was able to see of it…) but I don’t think I was able to make more than 3 moves without seeing a full screen ad for the developer’s $11.99 per month? year? “superior” version of the app. Tiny barely visible X in the corner. Real cute. It quite literally made this remote app unusable… and irritated the f— out of me. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Does not connect *2024-07-30, version 1.1.6* It doesn’t work! ### 4/5 — My review!great app by the way!!! *2024-07-19, version 1.1.6* So every time i press something it trys to make me pay 11 dollars for me to use it but i can only press something one time and yeah it makes me pay to use the app but i give it a 4 star because it doesn’t work as much but it helps a bit👍🏼 have a great day and please get the paying thing fixed 👁_👁GREAT APP AGAIN AND BYEEE (4 stars👩🏽‍🦱) ### 1/5 — Poor user experience paid subscription *2024-05-03, version 1.1.6* On first install, playing video, tv screen had its own smaller version of video with phone in landscape, also, sound only played on phone, no tv, video was very labored and delayed. Will be uninstalling. ### 1/5 — Used to work great. Now none of it works *2024-04-10, version 1.1.6* Doesn’t work anymore. I paid for the service. ### 1/5 — Annoying purchase popup *2024-04-04, version 1.1.6* I absolutely hate when you can’t try the app without purchase pop ups. It works but every time I click something there goes the upgrade popup, I don’t know if I like the app yet can I try it first. So annoying DELETE ### 1/5 — Why pay again?? *2024-04-01, version 1.1.6* I purchased the Roku players.
