## What is RoRemote?

Control your Roku from your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad!

RoRemote requires a Roku box with firmware version 2.7 or higher. All Rokus should have this - even the older ones.

RoRemote controls Rokus over WiFI. You must have WiFi on your iPhone/iPod/iPad turned on and set to the same network as the Roku you wish to control.

Now you can control your Roku from other rooms in the house! Great for music channels! RoRemote supports multiple Rokus using a simple selection screen.

RoRemote has the same controls any regular Roku remote does, plus a keyboard button to enter text directly into any channel's text box. Also, text can be copied from the clipboard to the Roku - useful for complex passwords. No need to mess with with the on-screen keyboard!

RoRemote allows direct access to all channels on the Roku by simply tapping the icon of the corresponding channel.

iCloud enabled - Roku names and settings are automatically transferred to other devices which share the same iCloud account.

## Key features

- Wi-Fi Roku control
- Full remote functionality
- Keyboard for text input

### 5/5 — This is the BEST app of its kind!

*2017-10-28, version 1.4.5*

I’ve tried the Roku app and decided that it was complete trash. The absolute WORST app out there for Roku. There were other 3 rd party apps but the ads were a dealbreaker. I hate ads and interruptions. But this app is the best for a number of reasons. It never crashes or randomly disconnects from my tv like the Roku app, and it is add free!!! Those 2 reasons alone are enough for me to give 5 stars! I’ve had 0 problems and this app does exactly what it’s suppose to. There are 2 features that can be added to improve this app even more. If there was a volume button and a way to listen to your tv through earbuds!! That would just make things absolutely 100% perfect!! Developers please consider these 2 feature for future updates! Great app thanks!!

### 1/5 — Voice feature useless and no support

*2015-05-09, version 1.4.5*

When I use the voice feature on my IPhone 6 I speak s title. I can see that title correctly on my phone. What gets into the search box on the Roku is only the first character. Worthless. 
What is worse is that I tried the support link and developer link to report it and I get 'server not found'

### 5/5 — perfect!

*2014-12-11, version 1.4.2*

Worked within seconds of installing, right out of the gate. Automatically found my Roku on my wifi with no problem, remote is flawless, and showed all my channels right away. I've tried a few on here, this one BY FAR is the best. Great job!

### 5/5 — GREAT APP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*2014-10-03, version 1.4.2*

AMAZING

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2014-04-26, version 1.4*

Installed latest iPad version. Selected network Roku. Selected Netflix. End of story. Nothing else works - tapped all controls (with Netflix selected) - no response. What is this App supposed to do?

### 5/5 — Works Great for me!

*2013-09-08, version 1.3*

Roku 3 and Roku 2 works with my iPad Mini and iPod Touch 5th gen, so it should also work on an iPhone too. If people are having a problem, then they either have an old IOS on their devices or an older device that can't handle the new IOS or their Router is not set up correctly. Set up the IP address of the Roku in your Router so that it always starts up with the "same" IP address. Also your Router might be blocking the Roku. Get someone who knows about Routers to set it up for you correctly. This App works perfectly for me, so there is no problem with the App itself.

### 1/5 — Update needed

*2013-03-03, version 1.3*

Same as the others - my brand-new, up-to-date Roku is not recognized. Disappointing, to say the least.

### 1/5 — Refund!

*2012-12-03, version 1.3*

Does not recognize my roku box. I have the latest firmware, and both the iPad and Roku are on the same network.  Want refund.

### 1/5 — Doesnt work

*2012-10-21, version 1.3*

Never got it to recognize either of my boxes

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2012-09-05, version 1.2*

Found my roku box within seconds
