I have the gaming remote that came with the Roku and it eats batteries fast! This app saves me money too! ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2011-12-04, version 1.2* This is a great remote for my Roku XS. ### 5/5 — Wow!!! *2011-11-06, version 1.2* I love this app so much. It's the very best remote app I've used and I have tried a lot. ### 5/5 — Works Great With Roku 2 *2011-10-29, version 1.2* Controls multiple Rokus perfectly. ### 5/5 — Works perfectly *2011-10-21, version 1.2* Found my roku right away... Easy to use and it works!! Great to have the ipad keyboard to search more easily. ### 5/5 — works as advertised *2011-08-25, version 1.1* while it did not find the roku through scanning the network, you could add the box by ip address and that worked fine. one limitation to all these IP-based remotes is that you can't change the network settings of the roku with them because the roku box drops the network as soon as you enter the network configuration screens and the remote is using the network! nevertheless, good app. ### 5/5 — Woah! *2011-08-07, version 1.1* So i generally dont review apps because im lazy but this one is so great i just had to xD it is flawless! I didnt even hafta do anything to set it up! It just did everything by itself... Im very very impressed by this app and it was well worth the money ### 5/5 — Easy, Easy, Easy *2011-07-20, version 1.1* Downloaded and set it up in well under 2 minutes and it works perfectly!!! Best looking of all the other Roku apps as well. I highly recommend it! ### 4/5 — Nice UI *2011-07-13, version 1.1* Best free Roku app out there. ### 5/5 — Very good *2011-07-09, version 1.1* Never had a problem. Great features! ### 4/5 — Works better than original! *2011-05-06, version 1.1* I just wish the remote that comes with the Roku had as many features! Comes in very handy when our original remote inevitably gets lost. Some connection problems - just make sure you write down the ip address displayed on the screen when connecting. Worth the money! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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' ### 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? ### 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 ### 1/5 — Loved it *2012-01-15, version 1.2* Until it just stopped working on both my pad and my phone, I thought this was a great app. I'm so disappointed. ### 1/5 — It had a mind of its own *2011-12-17, version 1.2* It went nuts on my first use! It was like I pushed a button repeatedly, except I had only pushed it once. The virtual remote was out of control. Maybe, if I reinstall it later (if I ever misplace my actual remote), it will work better. If that is the case, I will change my rating. ### 1/5 — Hasn't connected once *2011-04-20, version 1.1* For 2 bucks, I'd have liked it to have given even a slight appearance of working. As it is, it connects neither with the basic scan nor with the IP address input. At least my replacement Roku remote is due to arrive tomorrow. ### 2/5 — Works! If it works. *2011-04-20, version 1.1* When this connects to my Roku box (every third try or so) it works great. But it has serious connection problems. And you'd better hope you don't have any support issues because, despite the 'Please email me' put into the app advert, you probably won't get a response (just like me). ### 3/5 — Trouble with arrows *2012-03-18, version 1.2* Works fine for a few tries, but then when I use the arrows, it just keeps scrolling... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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!! ### 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 ### 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. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2012-09-05, version 1.2* Found my roku box within seconds ### 5/5 — Roku Remote *2012-09-02, version 1.2* This app is so much easier to use than the remote that came with the Roku unit! I love it! ### 5/5 — Roku remote. *2012-08-09, version 1.2* This app is fantastic. My only question is, why did Roku not come out with this? The keyboard feature alone makes this worth it. Buy it if you have Roku. ### 5/5 — 5 seconds to set it up *2012-04-28, version 1.2* This is the kind of awesome stuff you can brag to your friends about. Can't find your remote? Let me control it with my iPad! Literally took me 5 seconds to set it up. How awesome is that? ### 5/5 — It's Magic *2011-12-30, version 1.2* Found my Roku 2 immediately, and works great. It's so much fun, one of the best apps I've ever used. ### 5/5 — Blooming thing actually works! *2011-12-25, version 1.2* It works great. Awesome. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
