N.Hester's Review of Roku
Reviewed on 9/6/18 1:11 PMI’ve downloaded a couple other versions of the remote, none were as intuitive & streamlined as this one. I love the fluidity of the menu, the fact that it highlights shows & movies on the Roku channel, the “what’s on” feature, & the ability to view photos & videos from my phone w/o needing a separate casting app. Not only is it better than the other apps. It’s better than the remote that came with the tv. 💁🏾♀️

Reviewed on 9/5/18 7:02 PMWe love this app. Especially since we have young kids who constantly loose the actual roku remotes. The one issue that bothers with the app is that you can not use the app if you are using the same device (iPhone) to stream content as we do in the vehicle while traveling. It would be worth 5 stars if Roku could fix this.

Sandy D's Music's Review of Roku
Reviewed on 9/27/18 5:28 AMThis app works 100% better than the remote that came with the television. I've only had this TV for about 2 1/2 weeks, but I've had nothing but issues with the remote. It works sporadically, when it wants to. At first I thought it might be faulty batteries, so I replaced them with brand new ones. Same issue. Frustrating thing is, there's only 1 button on the bottom left corner of the TV itself, so when the remote goes out, it's super difficult to operate it. This app is a lifesaver!! Highly recommend!

And you can watch all your favorite shows such as family guy the Simpsons etc. on the channels! Ohh and I had to set up my xbox to the tv, yeah we’ll it took a little over 1 minute to do that! Ha, ya go cop this tv now and I’m not just some guy getting payed to wright this, I’m an actual customer and this is dope! (I got a 32 inch roku tv and it was only like 100 bucks dude that’s a deal breaker!)

F@&* No!!!'s Review of Roku
Reviewed on 8/28/18 10:44 PMI bought my husband a Roku television set. It seemed like a wonderful concept. First of all, I shouldn’t need WiFi to use the app. I have unlimited data. Sometimes WiFi is terrible as I live in Oklahoma. I get tired of being told WiFi is required to search in the app for what I am looking for at that moment. That is a nuisance to say the least. Second of all, I should have some sort of search feature on my television. I am constantly searching channel by channel looking for something to watch. It is an endless search looking for something I want to watch. I often return to my cable because it is exhausting looking for a movie or certain genre or or type of show I wish to see at the moment. Needs serious work with a group of employees willing to put in the effort to make Roku all it can and should be.

Reviewed on 8/27/18 3:26 AMWhat happened to you!?? I’ve used this app for almost 3 years and was great. Now, it NEVER consistently stays connected to my Roku. Remotes are very often used to suddenly pause, or ffwd or rewind. When I finally connect, By the time I get the blasted thing to finally connect and respond, I’ve gone too far forward or reverse! So that means that it’s losing connection not only while the phone is at rest, but also during mid use! Get it together, Roku! 5 stars to 3 for me! Fix this and you’re a 5 again in my book.

PetuniaBlue's Review of Roku
Reviewed on 8/22/18 9:37 AMWorks ok but needs to allow landscape mode esp for iPad. Great for private listening. Needs a stop button for video not just pause since pause doesn’t function well within some apps on Roku. Needs to have way to easily make comments about problems with roku product itself & it’s associated apps. Apps inside Roku do have a screen which allows a rating for app but if you pick feedback - no place for comment if your problem with app is not listed-very frustrating. Roku is a nice alternative to cable or in addition to cable to allow one to the watch shows in one’s own available time or in a room without cable but you do need a roku for each tv. Main downside to Roku is some free watching apps within Roku commercial you to death showing as many as 4 to 6 commercials every 11 minutes!!

It took no time connecting it, and I could use it immediately. I’m very impressed. Usually there’s much more work to do when setting these kind of things up, but it was simple, easy, and really fast.

Reviewed on 8/14/18 1:09 AMWho else can never find their Roku remote in their living room??!?!? Hiding under a cushion, accidentally brought into the other room? Have no fear, your phone can now be your remote! Awesome! I think the best part is the searching because you can use the regular query keyboard on your phone. No more searching for the letter!!

DaleBarton's Review of Roku
Reviewed on 8/13/18 6:52 AMUpon launching the app, you are forced to agree to the privacy policy in order to do anything. I recommend you read it, in particular the content recognition section and lack of ability to meaningfully opt out and still use the device you spent money on.

Reviewed on 8/12/18 6:05 PMSeems they had fixed this problem. Old problem was When you paused and restarted, audio would be out of sync. You would have to turn off and then back on, the private listening. NOW PROBLEM is that it just drifts out of sync as you watch a show. Drifts a split second and progressively gets worse until you turn on and off private listening and then problem starts again with a few minutes. PLEASE FIX THIS FOR GOOD!!

Voiceover just announces the word, button. So we have to label the buttons ourselves in order to find out what they are. I would like to see Roku improve this application and have VoiceOver support over all, this app is great to have if you don’t want to use the physical remote. I would also like to see voice recognition put into this for those who have limited mobility. This would also be great if we could use this over our cellular data. Especially for those who have unlimited data. And auto lock feature in the previous reviewer‘s comment I second. But I understand why it’s not here since an iPhone battery can be drained very quickly.

Every time I boot it up it says WiFi not connected even though it is, I really hope that the devs fix this problem because this is a great app when it works!
Icepick147's Review of Roku
Reviewed on 7/22/18 5:32 PMHow cool is this! I can control my audio/video devices with my iPhone!!! Was very hesitant about purchasing a “smart” device. But, boy, howdy, we are very, very ecstatic about the world of entertainment and/or technology that has suddenly opened up before our eyes! The ease of “pairing” with the tv is automatic, requiring only the tap of the remote icon on my phone. Being a Cold War kid, who was raised with the Jetson’s, Star Trek, and the greatest race in history, the Space Race, (which for y’all young whipper snappers was a race to the MOON!!!) this is just friggin’ amazing!! I hold more technology power in my phone than an entire room of 1960’s computers did back in the day. I know that soon, everything will be connected, and if it’s as easy and enjoyable as this app, it’ll be groovy!

max_siuda's Review of Roku
Reviewed on 7/13/18 6:13 PMI use the Roku app for the remote function solely because of our actual Roku remote which is broken. It’s a decent app when it works, but it hardly ever works. It rarely ever connects to the streaming stick on the first try and when you press “retry connecting” it just does the same thing and doesn’t ever connect until you unplug the streaming stick and plug it back in, which requires me to get up and walk all the way across the room, reach behind the tv, and reset it. It may seem like a minor inconvenience, but it gets extremely frustrating when it happens 5 times in an hour all day every day. You could be watching your tv show and not even using the remote but it will randomly disconnect and it DOES NOT reconnect until you restart the streaming stick. I don’t usually write reviews for apps unless I feel strongly about them as I do with this app. It is frustrating to use and needs to be fixed.

BeefMaestro's Review of Roku
Reviewed on 7/12/18 1:41 PMThe app allows you to use your phone as a keyboard to do things such as putting your Netflix password into the tv to log in. I use 1Password to create and manage all my passwords so my Netflix password is very long and complex - not something I want to put in 1 character at a time with the remote. However when you paste a password into the Roku app to send the the tv it tries to send each character one at a time instead of the whole thing all at once. This leads to the password not being sent to the tv properly so I can’t log in. This is very frustrating and I end up just using my chrome cast.

Reviewed on 6/9/18 1:19 PMI have used this app for a few years. Yes I have always had the same annoyances as many others of having to restart it to reconnect to the Roku, but with one of the recent iOS updates it always says disconnected and can’t find the roku. I have restarted the roku, the iPad and neither helps. I have a VERY strong feeling it is iOS related, because I have four iPads and the problem started on 3 of them that had the update all around the same time. The 4th one is old and can’t do the iOS update and that one is ok. In addition, I have the app on 2 android phones and neither of them has the problem, either. I believe Apple has made some kind of change that has disabled the functionality of this app. I wonder if this was on purpose.

Reviewed on 6/5/18 3:42 PMThis is an addition issue (see my prior concerns below the separation line. As of the most recent update my iOS devices are unable to connect to my Roku Express. The Roku app gives the generic “Check to make sure your Roku Express is plugged in & on the network.” As of this point I have restarted the Roku by unplugging it & plugging it back in; restarted the network gateway (a combination DSL modem & Wi-Fi router) made sure both the gateway & Roku have had time to become ready (according to Safari on this iPhone the Roku is 192.168.254.19 & the network connection works as the Roku was can stream channels); but the Roku app on multiple devices (including my iPhone SE running iOS 11.4) can no longer connect with the Roku. ======================== I have a couple older devices & a couple of weeks ago both started displaying a pop-up when I start the app saying I need to get a newer version of the app from the App Store but these devices will not run the version of iOS required for the new version of the Roku App. Since I did not change anything on my iPhone or iPod touch, Roku has done something (my belief is the Roku App reaches out to Roku servers) that bricked the Roku App on my devices.

I never did change those batteries once I got home. It’s certainly not perfect; if you leave the app to run something else it has to load back up when you go back to it, the keyboard doesn’t work with every app, and for some reason at times it drains my cell phone battery faster than it does at others. But none of that makes it too difficult or annoying. It doesn’t take away the easy of use and convenience of the app as a whole. I’d recommend anyone using a Roku to get this app.

kevk74's Review of Roku
Reviewed on 6/1/18 10:02 PMI might be the idiot and I’ve set up many a WiFi Direct device like a printer or that ugly, inferior “C” word that has no true 10bit H265 HEVC support and terrible audio codec support as well. Let’s not forget no local apps even if a modern smart phone should be able to locate the content to tell it to go fetch. I WAS happy to eventually see Miracast beta supported on Roku though, but angry that my ONLY future choice for a Raw Android phone, the Google Pixel/XL or PIXEL 2/2XL only supported that u*** C word and blocked use of any screen sharing or Intel WiDi/Miracast and is almost useless outside the Roku app and a few app to app casting, and despite Snapdragon 835s native ability, also not support VESA ALT MODE in the Pixel 2/2XL aka USB C to HDMI hardware connector like Apple’s aging H264 lossy lighting to HDMI “Digital AV Adapter”I’ve had to resort to more times than you’d think, especially in hotels and away from home. THAT is where my issues with Roku are... especially when a Roku 3 remote is rock solid and a Premiere + and Roku Ultra Roku are about the most unreliable physical remote I’ve ever used. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to restart the Roku, especially after switching to my a phone Roku App because the physical remote then unpairs and refuses to re-pair until I either use the cell phone app and go into Remote Settings and ask to pair or unplug and restart the Roku and remove the battery cover and feverishly push on the pair button while sometimes resorting to taking out a battery or spinning the batteries until I finally get a pairing response. The ISSUE is I’ve had times were under a new network, I couldn’t manage to get the physical remote to pair and I SWORE I could pick a WiFi Direct Roku Signal and manage to sign in the box to the new SSID with the a cell phone but only thing that saved me was I happen to be a techie carrying a 15ft Ethernet cable and plugged in the Ultra to the router and accomplished getting the box to login and use my phone app while my physical remote lay useless until I could get into Remote Settings and request a pair. Maybe I am wrong, but I spent an hour thinking I could set up WiFi Direct without a physical remote and maybe even leave it at home when I travel. Unfortunately most people have little reason to toss their 1080 Smart TVs (especially in guest rooms) outside maybe a family room 4K TV upgrade so there is no H265 support, so I’m forced to bring a Roku Ultra, Premiere + or that new scary $69.99 stick that replaced the Premiere + but stories of overheating and inability to get it to power or (despite claims of improved antennas) connect to WiFi at all, so for now I’ll stick to a near perfect Ultra 4640 and my optical port to avoid needing a new $600 receiver with HDCP 2.2 support. All I ask is a way to connect the box without a physical remote when let’s face it, despite TWO ways to communicate with the box, it can’t even do either well and I’m constantly wishing my Roku 3 did H265 b/c it has been rock solid and the remote as well.

Reviewed on 5/28/18 3:32 PMInstead of buttons to press for volume control, how about a slider? The buttons are really inconsistent and take forever to change the volume. It would be quicker to slide the volume up and down.

Lottsburg's Review of Roku
Reviewed on 5/13/19 2:59 PMWe like ROKU because it saves us $$ but there are some difficulties to which we must adjust. O If we tune in to watch a program, we can't always start it from the beginning. We must start where it is live. O If we try to skip through the many, many advertisements, it is not possible. We watch ads whether we want to or not O We can't back up a program to listen to a sentence or 2 the second time. We think ROKU and HULU will keep getting better. We have confidence in that. We are happy with our internet TV & being off the cable or satellite TV.

Reviewed on 5/13/19 2:59 PMI can connect to other roku devices I range of my phone but my device less than 10 feet from me is not discovering..... yes I’m connected to the same WiFi I also tried connecting manually. My roku shows up but grayed over and can not be selected. I only bought this device because I’m traveling and didn’t pack my Apple TV. This is very frustrating when I’m trying to connect for private listening as not to disturb others while watching tv.

ephophex's Review of Roku
Reviewed on 5/13/19 2:59 PMI started using this app last year with my wired Roku, and all was golden. The app provides amazing search funcitonality, and being able to use your phone's keyboard instead of the onscreen keyboard is so much faster. When I got a second wireless Roku, however, all was not well. It's simply unpredicable, in that its ability to connect is sporadic. I've tried everything I could think of (made sure phone and Roku are on the same network; reset the network on the Roku; reset phone settings; assigned a static IP via my router). Nothing has helped. So, for my wireless Roku, this app is non-functional 9 out of 10 attempts.
