User reviews

Better than Roku’s app.. except

This app is far superior in immediately responding to Roku devices than Roku’s own proprietary mobile and Apple Watch apps BUT there’s no “back” button in the watch app’s remote (nor the main app). Please include a “back” feature for the watch!!

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. I have added a Back button to the app and watch app in version 1.8, which will be available soon. For a faster response to issues, please feel free to contact me directly.

Finally a Roku TV Apple Watch app that works!

Got a new Apple Watch series 5 and wanted an app to act as a remote for my Roku TV. I noticed a small feature was missing and messaged the developer they added it in less than a day! Apple store approved in in another day and now it works as hoped for. Might not be the prettiest thing but it’s highly functional and gets the job done when the kids hide the remote for the umpteenth time!

Works great - Superior Apple Watch app

This review is really about how well it works on Apple Watch, as you wouldn’t be here otherwise because the actual Roku branded app works sooo much better.

Of the two paid Apple Watch Roku apps, this app is far superior especially if you have a Roku TV. Does everything I need it to do and then some.

Well worth the $1

Awesome app and great customer service!

This app lets you control your Roku TV from your Apple Watch. It works much better than the Apple remote app that comes with the Apple Watch. In addition to a great app, the customer service is fantastic. The app developer was very communicative and even made adjustments to the app on my request. I would gladly purchase another app from this developer if he comes up with another app for the Apple Watch. I was very impressed!

Does not work

I couldn’t get this app to work with either my iPhone or my Apple Watch.

Response from developer

Please contact me via the Developer Website link before writing a bad review. I help anybody who reports an issue. A typical problem is an issue with your home network. Even though version 1.4 is several years old, RokuMotion still works with the latest iPhones and Apple Watch.
