Not even working

Connected to my Roku- Have the widget and all but it doesn’t work at all. I’m connected but nothing is working I’m just slamming buttons and getting zero results. Not even working on the 3 other household Roku’s.
Waste of time.

Doesn’t work

It says it’s connected to my TV, but none of the buttons do anything. Disappointed.

Widget is in the title

Widget is the title of the app and yet, no widget. I truly thought this was the answer and now after seeing reviews from 3 years ago citing the same shortcoming, I have removed the app. I nearly bought it because I want to use the widget on my lock screen.

These are not the widgets you’re looking for.
