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.

Waste

No widgets. Remote doesn’t even work. It’s connected but that is all.

Best!

Just make sure to enable permissions on your TV

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.

4/29/2025 app needs an update

The shortcuts option in the app makes the app crash when it tries to load the shortcuts for 43 inch Roku TVs and up.

No widget!

False advertizing! Fortunately I didn’t pay the money (just click ‘ask app not to track’ & so far (five minutes) no ads.

What widget

Okay I found this app because I looked for widget for roku tv. I’m still looking for it bcoz its not there.

Volume for biggest widget

JUST DO IT ALREADY. ADD THE VOLUME CONTROL FOR THE BIGGEST WIDGET. I WILL LITERALLY PAY FOR IT. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Good

Just works

Volume buttons don’t work

Dumb

Not an actual widget

How do I get my money back?

This is the best thing I ever seen as far as the app usage. Can’t beat it 😀

Functional, but missing a widget

Works as a roku remote, but at least on iOS 15.3 it doesn't seem to register a widget, so there's no reason to use this over the official roku app. Would be 5 stars if there was actually a widget, but its kinda pointless without it.

Bad app

It’s didn’t work

Great

It works perfectly, even when I’m not in the room so I can mess with my siblings

Okay

It works but it has a lot of ads

Awesome

Works a treat !!
