YALL give it a shot ### 4/5 — Love *2026-09-19, version 14.1.0* I ### 4/5 — Not bad *2026-09-19, version 14.1.0* This is for the Backdrop portion: Please file direct feedback for Web Development to add a feature to Roku Backdrops Application which enables users to select multiple photos to delete together, rather than having to delete photos individually. Additionally. Please send feedback to Web Development requesting to remove the “Photo Deleted” confirmation screen when a photo is deleted. It lags badly and is completely unnecessary as the user will see that the photo or photos are deleted in real time. If a confirmation banner is required, an opaque banner rather than a full page is sufficient. ### 5/5 — Otimooooo *2026-09-19* Adorei so trava às vezes mas é muito bom maravilhoso ### 5/5 — Best thing ever *2026-09-19, version 14.1.0* Me and my family love it ### 5/5 — Love *2026-09-19, version 14.1.0* This a awesome app. Especially when you lost your remote. ### 5/5 — Your the best *2026-09-19, version 14.1.0* Thanks for so much ### 5/5 — This is an awesome app!!! *2026-09-19, version 14.1.0* My TV remote had just broken and when I downloaded the app, I thought it was going to not work, but it did and it’s really easy to use ### 5/5 — Affordability *2026-09-19, version 14.1.0* I am very appreciative of all that is made available to me and my family.
