Fantastic service!

I use voice control, and the latest update of the app broke it. Support fixed it within a few days of working with me. What a fantastic service. Thank you support

Great App

Awesome app with so many great features. Really enhances my control of my Roku TVs.

I love it

Good app

Not bad but not good

Works good and then stops after a while. Keeps disconnecting while your TV will not pop up, nor connect.

Very cool
