No matter what I do it doesn’t work and the cast isn’t working either. ### 3/5 — should be free *2025-08-17, version 1.1.5* see above ### 1/5 — Watch the price *2025-06-20, version 1.1.4* Watch the price. 7.99 a week if not cancelled within trial or pay the 50$ lifetime. Cheeper to buy a new 3$ remote from walmart. ### 2/5 — False advertising *2025-06-19, version 1.1.4* The site said that it was free, now I’m being charged. What gives?? ### 1/5 — Wish I could give it 0 Stars *2025-06-17* They trick you by making it free to download then require a subscription to use it at all. Everyone who expresses that this is a garbage way to run the app gets the cookie cutter “Subscription pricing helps us provide app features!” Like I can just go buy a new actual remote for a one time payment of like $20. ### 1/5 — it costs $50 to use absolutely outrageous *2025-06-16, version 1.1.4* Worst app ever ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-06-12, version 1.1.4* This is a scam. Tries to charge you $7 a week. You could buy a new roku with 2 months of having this app. Stay safe. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-05-30, version 1.1.4* Don’t buy this it wants 50 bucks or 8 bucks a week to use absolutely not worth it u can control Roku with original Roku app! ### 3/5 — Works good cost lots *2025-05-26, version 1.1.4* Works perfect for the ONN Roku tv I got, synched up in seconds, but that price is a little crazy ### 1/5 — NOT FREE !! *2025-05-18, version 1.1.4* Im not paying $8 a week for a remote 😒 like are yall cool ? stop spreading false advertisment saying something is FREE when its clearly NOT ! ### 1/5 — Volume *2025-05-14* Volume don’t work ### 1/5 — Even after paying for full features *2025-05-10, version 1.1.4* You can’t even use the volume keys ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s a fraud *2026-03-19* Do not download. It lies when it says it’s free. It’s only free for the first 3 days and then it’s an automatic subscription fee just to use it. There is nowhere to cancel this subscription. Do not allow them access to your phone. **Developer response:** We apologize for any inconvenience caused. We are working hard to improve.

Roku offers a completely free remote service on your smart phone. Why pay for something you already get for free? Don’t fall for these gimmicks. ### 1/5 — $8 per month? *2025-08-01, version 1.1.4* Too expensive ### 1/5 — Could be better *2025-07-30* app refuses to connect to my TV. other apps connected to it right away so i know the TV is not the problem. ### 1/5 — not real app *2025-07-14, version 1.1.4* this isn’t even the real app and on top of that the real app is free no subscription no pay if you want the real one just look up roku it is one of the tops ### 1/5 — free? *2025-07-02, version 1.1.4* This used to be a free app and now it’s not. Shocker. Shame on you. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2025-06-28, version 1.1.4* Buy a new remote. They are $10 on Amazon. Paying $7.99 a week or $50 outright is insane. If you need a new remote just buy a new one off amazon. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tv remote *2026-08-10* Very fast and fluid ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-22* I am so pleased with this application!
