ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Roku Remote & Cast holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roku Remote & Cast has 7.7K ratings behind it against 671, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of auraLED's written reviews are positive against 15% of Roku Remote & Cast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

auraLED ships an update every 2 weeks, Roku Remote & Cast every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
