Roku App Reviews

^^^

Can’t figure out how to control volume with this app?!

Same WiFi both connected and the app would just keep searching for the roku device.

Very helpful to have first class remote on phone. Very easy to use. MHGuy

Works as expected

Absolutely love my new roku tv. The app is incredible and I love being able to have a remote on my phone.

Roku is the greatest accessory ever for my TV. It does so much and I can use my I phone as a remote. I can use blue tooth headphones is also a great option if I don’t want to wake up my spouse.

App works great with our Roku 3. Faster then remote. Love it!

I created an account and it works online but not in the app. Keeps saying my email or password is incorrect.

Just need to make it respond faster

I’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. 💁🏾‍♀️

This app is so much fun. It's fun if you go to a friends house and secretly make their ROKU seem possessed. Lots of fun possibilities!

I had lost my remote for weeks. Then I remembered I had this awesome app. Total life saver.

We 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.

It never finds the device to work with

It is a really good app I love it

It worked then it didn’t now again it don’t work all 3 of my TVs not working tried iPad other phone it doesn’t work again and no reply from tech support. I will never buy a roku device again!

Not able to connect to device, even though both mobile and device are in same WiFi network.

I now have 2 Roku. The app is so simple to use. Very straightforward. I always know where my phone is. It extends My Mobile capabilities to include another facet of my life.

Would be great except I have to constantly uninstall and reinstall it to keep it finding my device. 👎

Broke my remote, volume wouldn’t work. Downloaded this app and it is fantastic everything works as it should. Priceless, although I’m glad it’s free....

App constantly says it’s not connected to WiFi so you can’t use it. And it crashes whenever it pleases

Me ayuda mucho

Best tv remote I've ever used! I just wish it came with tv on and off button with volume up and down! Also I'm using a IPhone 5 version 10.3.3

I love how the roku remote is free to download, easily accessible/links to your box very easily, and you can minimize the roku app on your phone and still watch tv. The only think I wish I could change or improve is there should be volume and on/off/sleep mode button so you can turn your actual tv off and control the sound.

Lost the actual remote due to a leaky battery. This has a keyboard. Should have switched two years ago.

This app is so responsive, everything’s in the palm of your hand!

When my dog ate the remote I was so excited to see this app! Unfortunately it has ads when you push a button on it every 6 times. After a few days I had to order a new remote since this is worthless.

It won’t let me sign into it. I can get it to go to my email and change it but I go back to the app and can’t sign in????????????????????????????? HELP. HELP. HELP. HELP.

When I put a short video on play on Roku they come out stretched and weird looking can anyone help??

My 18 month old is a remote thief, so all of our remotes (to the Fire Stick, our Roku TV, etc) go missing constantly. This app is my saving grace when the remote disappears. I can still fully control our TV!

The best!!!!

Works like the real app but FREE!!!

Thank you Roku for developing this app I love it very much it's a great backup in case I lost my regular remote and this app is a lifesaver for my Smart tv the Roku Smart Tv I have and I love using it !!!!!

When I check the connection, it says excellent and yet every app stops with connections issues. Such a waste of money

App so easy to use I love it.

Works great when it actually connects to my smart tv, which is rare.

I like it because it can go

Worked twice and has never been able to connect since.

The app works, but it has to reconnect to the TV about every 5 minutes. After reconnecting it works fine though.

I’m a fellow binge watcher on Netflix, having the remote on your phone to click “still watching” option is great, lol! No complaints here!

This apps has never worked for me. Must not work with IPhone OS.

Works but dislike it doesn’t re launch in the remote menu

This by far is the best $40 I’ve spent. The Express was so simple to set up and sync to all my apps. The remote is small and has to be pretty close and pointed directly at the Roku box so I normally use the remote on my phone and it works perfectly! I love having all my shows and music in one place, definitely a perfect alternative to cable!

I wish in 47meters down

Keeps giving me need wifi to use the app even though I am able to stream to the tv all month.

9/10 times it refuses to connect to the tv insisting it’s not on the same network and loads for 30 seconds then does nothing.

With the ability to listen through my Bluetooth headphones this had become my preferred way to control my Roku device. Recently though it does not see all of my devices. I have removed the app and reinstalled, re-established the network connections for all devices, restarted them all, and nothing seems to work. Disappointing...

I really like it. Compared to cable it is amazing. There is a few hiccups. I wish there was a way to search for things on the Roku channel.

Whenever I use the app this notification pops up every 5mins that there’s no WiFi and to connect to a WiFi when I am and I check my connection and everything

Worked great in the beginning! Now it keeps saying it can't connect to the internet and to check the settings allllll the time! This is the only app that does this, so it's not my phone or Internet connection bc everything else works BUT this!

Works OK, but too much advertising. Connection over WiFi is not particularly reliable.

I love it! I made the mistake of paying $4 on another remote app a few days before downloading this one and getting all of those features PLUS MORE free of charge!

I love having this app, as our remotes were destroyed by our toddlers. However, it always loses connection and I have to pretend that I am going to settings and then re-open the app. This happens constantly. Has this been addressed with the update? Other than that it is a very helpful app to have

Did McDonald’s sponsor you because I’m loving it

Needs a button to turn on the tv and a button for volume control and mute.

Perfect as perfect gets for an app

My little one spilled milk on our smart tv remote and I couldn’t turn on the tv and select the cable box option. I downloaded the Roku app and to my surprise it worked exactly the same way as the remote control. Very happy with this app!!!

They’ve fixed most of the Bluetooth latency issues. Thanks!

You have to fix this. The most annoying experience ever. The No WiFi popup comes up even when on WiFi (not strong connection). The only way to do anything is to click Go To Settings. Which is a waste of time because after clicking it the app works again for 5-10 seconds before repeating the process all over. At minimum allow the user to X out of the Go To Settings popup and remain in the app. Best case you just fix the issue so there is no popup when a connection exists. Please please fix this.

Best remote app

Works perfectly

I’m always misplacing the remote that came with my Roku so I downloaded the app. I love having it as a backup and it’s never failed to work exactly as it is supposed to.

TrinBean🙌🏽🖤👑

This 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!

I used to love this remote. It has an easy user interface and the options are great. However, after a recent update, I have noticed that when you go into another app and go back to it, the remote loses connection. Sometimes I have to close the app and try to reconnect which can take several minutes. Please fix this Roku!

I like the private listening feature. However, I don’t like the advertising in the app. Why can’t you remove the channel Fandango Now? I never added it. It’s the first app. It’s in the way. It can’t be removed but the rest can. I would pay to remove advertising.

Hate it. It's missing some simple mechanics on the watching apps that the physical remote had. Which makes it aggravating when your are trying to rewatch something and there's no way to play it from the beginning or rewind. Other than that it works well enough to "do what it needs to".

My toddler broke our real Roku remote so until a replacement gets here this is a nice option so I can’t totally complain. My real issue is that in order for it to connect and be useful, I have to disconnect and reconnect the tv before it will let me use it. I don’t get it but again, happy I have some sort of option.

Doesn't connect

Major flaw is that you can’t enter a channel number! Want to switch between channel 11 and 565? Be prepared to spend a ridiculous amount of time scrolling endlessly. Also unlike the actual remote, no volume control which makes app virtually unless.

This app has never connected for me. Every time I try it out it says my tv is powered off. Very annoying I wish I had the luck you others have.

Installed the app on my iPad and iPhone... works faster, smoother, and better than the actual Roku remote. Considering we have more than one Roku unit in our home, and that it’s a free application, it is a no-brained if you have a Roku box. We sent our Spectrum cable boxes back and are saving $12 per TV per year.

The reason this is so useful is because it uses your WiFi to connect to the Roku. So you don’t have to keep the line of sight. You can hide your Roku behind the tv. Use this mobile phone app and control everything.

Works great. Love that I can control the volume from my phone.

I’ve got an 8 Plus. And the remote interface is so big. And so much easier than a physical remote.

It works okay if you have the players. It’s terrible if you have a Roku Tv. It never connects and the app shuts down a lot. It’s absolutely frustrating.

Love being able to use my phone to control the Roku And most of all is being able to use head phones to listen to the tv show. Just plan awesome!!

The remote doesn’t work half the time. I either have to turn the phone off/on or delete the app altogether & reload. Annoying.

While it is a good idea, the private listening function simply does not work. After using it, and trying to return audio to the TVs speakers, the audio does not return and a manual restart is required to return audio to the TVs speakers. Probably a bug that needs to be fixed.

Super easy to use when I can’t find my remote.

The app is virtually unusable. It disconnects every few seconds from the roku and WiFi then asks to go to settings. I know that there is WiFi connection as the other remote apps are still working and the setting confirm that it’s connected to WiFi.

I love this review when it connects to my Roku boxes, unfortunately it only connects about 5-10% of the time. I can be right next to the player, and it is in, but it still won’t connect. This has been the case since I’ve had this app.

Still very glitchy tends to do it’s own thing. Tv turns on when it wants. Freezes often and very difficult and lengthy to navigate. Shows volume control on app before download but not there after install. Hope to see many improvements to come soon. Still Beta version for Exfinity.

Why would I need to type in my card/billing information for an app that I don’t need to purchase? Not to mention that it was already downloaded previously on my old phone & even has the cloud download icon. I rated it a 3 cause the app isn’t bad, except it occasionally disconnects from my roku for no reason, it’s just really pissing me off that I can’t download it without card info

I’m using this app on an iPhone. I said that to say, when I first open the Roku app it works perfectly. About 20-30 minutes later, it says that my tv is turned off and it can’t detect a tv with Roku. I don’t know if the fact that I’m using the app on an iPhone 7 has anything to do with it not working, but this is extremely frustrating. I really wish it worked all the time like it does when I first open the app! Nothing I do makes it work again until the next day. Please fix this issue. Update: This app will NOT work at ALL anymore. I put it down to 1 star ONLY because that’s the lowest rating you can give.

Great app. I love it. Thank you.

I get that message every time I open the app, or switch between apps and go back to Roku. Im most definitely on WiFi, the same WiFi network as the tv... but it says go to settings. I have to click the go to settings promt and switch back to the app without ever changing any settings and it works until I leave the app and come back... Please fix this bug !!

When I want to listen to my TV through my headphones using the Roku app I get disconnected multiple times and it says that it cannot reconnect back to the Roku

Not any commercials. Easy GUI. This is the one to get.

I love this app but sometimes my phone is dead and charging and during that time I want to use the Roku. It would be nice if you put your amazing app on the apple watch as well so I could change channels or apps using it like a remote just like the phone so I can still watch tv. Please consider it. I have literally 3 Roku TVs and 2 stand alone Roku devices (2 in the living room, 2 in the bedroom and 1 in the bathroom), so it would mean a lot to me if you could make this. Thank you.

Very nice

When I first got this app, I thought it was awesome. Totally saves me when I lose my remote. However, recently I opened the app and it’s no longer like the regular remote that you tap, now you have to swipe the screen to move the cursor. It is so sensitive that it barely works. I spend more time accidentally clicking on the wrong things than the right ones! Why change something that was perfectly fine the way it was?! :( I’m disappointed.

It’s a amazing app I just can’t find the sleep mode can anyone tell me where it is ??

I broke the up volume button on my remote, so the tv remained at zero and obviously I can’t hear anything. All night I watched movies with subtitles. Finally I decided I’d just order a new remote, and I saw suggestions on google about the roku remote app. I can now turn the volume up and down from my phone. Thank god 👏🏻

My husband found this after the batteries in our remote went out and we didn't have anymore. This is the best!

I can not use the remote app because it will not find any of my 3 Roku devices I have in my home. I have tried all the trouble shooting, restarting, resetting, etc. Being able to enjoy private listening at night would be nice instead I’ll just use my Apple TV.

It’s sharp & work all around my house. I love to change it for fun when my son or guests are watching a program!! It’s a new toy added to my bag of tricks!🤣. But it also comes in handy when my hand remote batteries die!

Never connects to my TV whether I turn it off manually and back on, and then use the remote or if I want to change the channel it doesn’t reconnect after I close out of the app, and I have to turn my TV off again manually and back on for the remote to work. The point of a remote is to not have to get up to change the channel by hand on the TV. This app doesn’t offer that. Thumbs down.

I can’t get my app remote to connect and this is a big reason I love having Roku considering my kids loose the little remote all the time Still isn’t working 😑

Seems like I need to restart my roku every time I want to use the app as a remote. Otherwise it says it can’t find it. When it does work, it’s great.

...even though the description says iPad is supported. Also, keyboard doesn’t always work. Please fix.

It doesn’t connect to my tv and only works when it wants to work

I like this remote very good and works perfectly. Only one complaint I can’t control volume using this soft remote. Apart from it it is very good remote.

I love this app because I can lose my Remount very Easley on this always helps

I would give it 0 but I can’t do that. Anyway, it never connects. I tried for an hour straight and it never worked. Thank God I found my remote.

i love the app, of course because i need it and use it everyday. there are rarely any bugs, it’s much more responsive than my actual remote. I JUST REALLY WANT AN APPLE WATCH APP FOR IT PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

When opening the app on your phone, open the keyboard function on the remote. the keyboard will work on the home screen but not all apps like YouTube - do you think this will update soon ?

I love the convenience of using my phone but for some reason the app keeps giving me WiFi not connected pop ups when the WiFi is connected. So I disconnect and reconnect and it’s working fine but after a couple of minutes of using it the same pop up keeps coming up and it only goes away if you leave the app and disconnect and reconnect to WiFi.

Have you ever lost the remote for your cable or Roku in this case you just get your phone and get the app witch it is super easy to set up.I know I lose the remote a lot but if you lose your phone well then your pretty much not going to be on the tv or phone try a board game but this is very help full

Bought at vacation home to play movies. Pauses and restarts every 3 seconds

I love Roku, and the app is like icing on the cake. I like the private listening mode. It would be even better if there was a channel guide in the remote app.

My kid lost the remote AGAIN and I wanted to watch TV with my piping hot dinner that was ready! #%!$&@! I took my smartphone as a last ditch effort to search for an app and YES one minute later I was browsing movies!

Constantly have to close and restart Roku AND appwhile using my Android, but works perfectly with my iPhone.

Good app it does everything I want it to do except I wish you could do sound

Doesn’t work .

Worthless. Won’t connect. Don’t waste your time.

Words can’t describe how wonderful this app is.

Get this right now, I’ll tell you my story to explain ok and don’t click of plz just listen! So I really wanted to get a tv for my game room at my moms house, and I went to pc Richard & son and got my new tv (not knowing it was a roku tv) when I got home I looked at the box and I mean I really looked at the box like reading everything, as soon as I saw the picture that showed the Netflix, Hulu, HBO, and much more (I forgot but there’s like 10 things you can get) and the awesome thing is, is that it’s really easy to set up and you can get a few channels for free such as the “roku channel” and HBONow and something else! 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!)

Does what you want it to do!

Definitely worth the download and connection to the tv, the voice control option is very easy to use and precise! Operating the app is easy too

Still loading the old remote template from the previous version without volume control and without power on/off switch - not the one that is shown here with both of these controls. Please correct this. Thanks

I love this

After working off and on over the past few months this app doesn’t work at all anymore. It can’t find the device no matter what I try.

i have 55’ inch TCL/Roku tv, and wow it has amazing features on it. 10/10 recommend this app for everyone.

I’m really annoyed at not being able to add my account to the app. Every time I try I get an error. I checked all credentials and everything matches. I can sign in online fine.

My Roku remote died. This app rocks.

Private audio doesn't work with iOS 12

When it’s connected it works great. But if the tv is on for an hour or two without the remote being touched it disconnects and won’t connect unless the tv is unplugged and plugged back in. It will tell you to check if the tv is on when it’s already on. This review is for my tcl Roku tv

Despite troubleshooting for almost half an hour this app didn’t manage to connect to the Roku tv. Mind you, the iPhone and Roku tv are connected to the same wireless network. Also tried to manually connect with entering the Roku IP address to no avail. Garbage frustrating app. Deleted from my phone.

Works fantastic!!

One of the easiest remote controls I ever had. I’m glad with it. It only has the buttons you need and simple to understand them.

I have tried other apps including android apps and this is by far the absolutely best. Great job developers!

This app works great for the most part, but as of late it has A LOT of issues. My phone stays connected to the internet, but the app says it’s not and forces me to go back and forth between the settings app and this one multiple times before I get to use the tv. Clearly needs some bug fixes.

This app is great if I have misplaced my remote which happens often with a toddler running around. My only request is, can you make the app be able to connect to Roku without having to be connected to WiFi?

Can never turn on or off my TV and it always disconnects

Best tv experience available

Works great and so nice to be able to control everything on my phone. One suggestion: enable a setting so that we can choose to have the actual “Remote” tab appear first when opening the App instead of the “What’s On” tab. 9/2/18: I’ve seen many comments asking for the same improvement suggestion I made. Any chance of this happening?

This app is pretty great. I always lose the remote but never lose the phone, and even if I did, can you call your remote? Nope. And it works as well as the remote...just use it as a remote, not that hard.

Every time I connect to this app it disconnects me from the WiFi and I have to leave the app and go back and use it really quick before it does it again. Over and over and over again.

But it’s bad

Doesn't Work!

This app is definitely useful! My only concern is that it stays on if I don’t close it out. Please fix that as I sometimes fall asleep with my screen on all night.

I can log on to the website but not this app. For my own sanity I’ve logged in and out of the website three times then tried the exact same credentials on this app and it won’t work. Also the keyboard doesn’t do anything on this app. I’ll type and nothing shows on my tv even after hitting “done”

Works amazing!! Especially comes in handy when i can’t find the actual remote ‼️

The app is nice because I accidentally broke my remote a while back. However it’s really annoying the app refuses to stay connected to wifi even though everything else in the vicinity has no problems. I’ll even have the 3 bars showing strength of the wifi, but it will tell me the app’s not connected. Aside from that the apps been convenient.

I lost my control remote and now I got this I love it.

It is fast and easy

If you’re like me, you don’t wanna have many remotes. Most universals can’t provide the basic hand hold features that the original remote provides, nor do other apps. Some would ask for more but the basic UI behavior is what I was after.

It’s is easy and helpful for me when I can’t find my remote hahaha and I can use my voice to find my favorite TV shows

Honestly I wish I could rate 0 stars!!! I have had nothing but trouble from my roku stick and this remote. I can’t seem to understand WHY you cannot connect the WiFi to your stick without original remote. I borrowed roku remote from a friend and still couldn’t get remote to work. I have read every blog, watched every YouTube video trying to get clarity on how to simply connect this remote to my new WiFi. Two weeks later and I’m still not connected. EPIC FAIL

Bought my 32” TCL ROKU TV on Black Friday $120 our the door.... that was 5 years ago. The remote had been through a lot. So much that it bugged out on me. I look to see if there’s an app for it. There is. Not only is it a functional remote, “just what I needed” it was way more. 10/10 best ship I caught early thus far.

Every time I try to connect my phone to the tv, it says that it’s in eco mode but it’s not. I’ve done everything Roku Support has said and it hasn’t changed. If I could rate this zero stars, I would because it’s very unhelpful.

It almost always kicks me off of wifi and says I’m not connected as soon as I open the app. It’s extremely slow when trying to play photos and videos and sometimes doesn’t work at all.

I still can’t connect to my Roku TV with this application on my phone. I’ve tried everything. Roku customer service team has not been able to fix my issue.

In fact, the dullest among them all, it wouldn’t connect to my iPhone, the opera browser doesn’t open, the screen mirroring will not work with my phone. I regret ever buying this tv. A total waste of money.

I use to spend $330 on my cable bill with internet 250 mbps service. Now I have 1 gig speed internet with Roku, Hulu and Netflix for less than $130, that’s $200 savings.

I’ve seen a few others post about the WiFi connection pop up. I went into my settings on my iPhone under the Roku tab & switched off the Cellular Data in the Roku. It fixed it for me. I hope this helps someone else!

Every time I sign in it’s pops up with WiFi issues. My phone is always connected to my WiFi. I will have all bars on my phone and still can’t access the controller

The Roku App. works perfect. My only problem is that the Roku unit runs very hot. The plug in and the charger. The IOS application works excellent when my batteries run dead in my remote.

I just bought a brand new Roku Ultra with the fancy remote and it doesn’t work at all. My phone with this app works so I’m psyched! If they can’t get their own hardware to work, at least this software does!

This app is absolutely amazing, from having control of your TV apps, name, themes, and layout right here at the top of your finger tips, to having a back up remote when needed or even just one when you don’t feel like reach for the other. This app is truly amazing and makes navigating Roku even easier. DEFINITELY would recommend!

Works just as it should. There’s another Roku remote you can download that you have to buy for $5 above this one. Don’t do it this one is free and works exactly the same as that one even alittle better

Used to work beautifully now it says there is no wifi every time I try and use it. Totally useless now.

Days when you can’t find the remote oh this is so handy

Couldn’t ask for more and there no ads

..

Doesn’t even show that my tv is available. Says the tv isn’t on my only WiFi connection. I type in the the IP address for a manual connection and it says it’s wrong. This app is worthless. Never going with a Roku product again after this one.

I want a on/off power button like the pic in the app has. And will it ever be able to type in channel numbers or always be arrow up and down?

Very well and easy functional

Every time I use the app I have to remove it from my device and reinstall it to use it again and I only use it for my bedroom tv, not multiple devices.

Great app because I can never find my remote

This saved my life my little Roku remote is always getting lost and now I can have a remote on my phone. Thnx Roku👏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽

The idea is fantastic and I love the private listening feature when it works, but in general, there are more problems than it’s worth. Constantly disconnecting even though my WiFi is strong and working everywhere else. Glitches in the remote. Stating there is no detectable Roku device even though the device is on and working fine. Overall, love the idea but the actual product is less than helpful.

This remote works very well and is easy to say surpasses the remote it came with. However, my biggest frustration is that when I switch to my PlayStation or DVD player the tv is in “rest mode” and no longer works. And when I switch over to these other devices, often I need to change the volume setting and i can’t with the remote. I also can’t switch back to the tv without powering down the other device either. Other than that, it works great but will try the other ones on the App Store to see if they have that functionality

I've uninstalled this several times because it stops working and won't connect to the TV.

Perfect just what we needed it works great

My app on IPhone works really well! I love having a second option when I lose the real remote.

I just want to add and delete channels and every time I click all it does is bring up the remote! App is about as useless as the website!!

Got this remote so I would have extra remotes to control my Roku and it works exactly like it should and even my Mom can operate the roku from her iPads!! Nothing much to say Awesome!!

Won’t find my device, but yet all the other ROKU remote apps that don’t offer voice command or private listening find my device just fine :/

The app works just like the remote, five stars for that alone. An added bonus is that I am able to use my headphones through my phone while using the Roku Stick. As you may know, the remote that comes with the Stick doesn’t have a headphone jack.

Won’t connect to my TV after working great for a couple of months. First this iphone, then one of my android devices, then my wife’s android, then her iphone. Now none of them will connect, says to power it on, sometimes says it might be in eco mode. neither are the issue. reinstall doesn’t change anything. too bad, loved having quick and easy control.

All is great except I can not see the top and bottom of the screen. So no power on/off and no volume control on the bottom anyone with this problem? Great app but unusable to me if I cannot see all the controls. Thanks

I was very satisfied. Now, I’m not sure of what’s happening. I can use my phone remote for a split second then it kicks me off as if my tv is powered off. I can’t seem to fix the problem even after following directions to fix the problem.

I can’t get my app remote to connect and this is a big reason I love having Roku considering my kids loose the little remote all the time

The app will never connect to any of my devices, 3/10

Private listening and sign in does not work at all. Please fix. Rest of app works though.

It won’t in off cellular data if you lose WiFi connection n a thing pops up saying to allow it to every 5 seconds most annoying thing ever. Pleasssse fox can’t find another app and can’t find my remote. SOS

Just wish the app had some kind of screen sharing function.... besides that, it’s really awesome

Doesnt work if you have an apple device

Works well. Ought to launch in Remote Control mode for quick access.

Should be able to use different wifi networks

I can’t keep the remote on my phone connected to the device and it’s frustrating

The remote control died and this saved me money and a trip to the store Love it

This is awesome

I really love the private listening feature, but it always disconnects.

Can't screencast iPhone. That's the improvement we need.

We use it exclusively and it hasn’t let us down.

When I use the actual remote I have to point to the screen exact now I don’t have to!

Works so good!!!!!!! Ty for this app! My remote was crushed and i was so screwed Ty ty ty!

It cuts my tv on too🤩🤩🤩

The app is great when it decides to. More often than not, it states my Roku TV is in sleep mode when it’s clearly on. I seldomly get to use its features because it can’t recognize the TV is on.

At home device works ok . The app is useless. I’m in an airport trying to connect but it says my at home device has to be connected to the wifi I’m using from the airport? 700 miles away? How is this possible? Lame

It’s horrible!

What a discovery. Am very pleased with all that ROKU can do.

I can’t get this thing to ever connect to my TV. My TV is on, it is on the same WiFi, and the app tells me it’s offline/off. It is very frustrating.

This app is one of the worst I’ve ever had to deal with. 9/10 times it doesn’t connect to my tv and if a miracle happens and it does connect I only have a certain amount of seconds before it loses connection. It does this EVERY SINGLE TIME. In fact it has made me stop using the tv all together and instead I simply watch things on my laptop because I don’t have the physical remote anymore, not that it worked any better, but this is the most frustrating thing and I dot recommend anyone get it or even buy their tv go with Samsung, the one I should’ve gotten in the first place.

App won’t let me connect to my roku device

It does what is supposed to do, but unfortunately there’s much improvement needed. I used to love having Spotify there but I’ll settle with pandora, which constantly glitches same with the HBO Now app and other apps event the antenna option glitches constantly, but ok maybe it’s not just roku’s fault but I’m guessing it has to do with roku making it hard for these and other apps. Another thing, having the option to display your own photos while playing music, why is it taking so long to do add this!? I’m now using chromecast in my tv which ALREADY HAS ROKU IN IT.🤦🏻‍♀️👎🏼

If you click the headphone symbol on the remote app. The sounds goes off on the tv and only restarting the stick will bring it back. Delete.

The private listening remote was included when you bought the Roku 3 and this was the ONLY Roku that included the private listening remote but the app doesn’t support private listening for Roku3?????? How does that even make sense!?!?!?

I went out and bought an actual Roku remote cuz mine “disappeared” nd the remote I bought wouldn’t even work. So. I started searching web and can across this app and it’s amazing. Only BAD thing is you have WiFi or internet or it won’t work lol. That could be fixed that would be great!!

I love the private listening part!

I can literally put my phone against the TV while it’s turned on and connected to the same WiFi and it won’t connect, Jesus Christ fix your stuff it’s only connected like once smh.

Doesn't pick up my roku tv even though we are connected to the same network

That’s what this app is worth.

Every time I download this app it doesn’t work I have to find batteries for my Roku remote that’s sad

This app for the remote is slow and glitchy. It’ll claim I have no WiFi when my phone and TV are fully connected, so it randomly disabled the remote. It is not responsive at a good speed with switching and flipping through shows etc. it’s free, so you get what you pay for lol

This is a great app I just have one suggestion. I think it would be great if you added the timer to shut off the the tv because that is a feature i love on the normal remote

Easy to use. Not terribly difficult to set up. I love that I can use my phone as a remote as well. Makes typing email addresses and passwords a lot easier

Great app

This app does not work. Don’t waste your time.

Pretty legit

It’s good when u don’t know were is ur remote but please make fix the app sometimes it’s says I’m not connected when I am and it takes forever to connect

Love the app so far. However, after setting up my Roku account to always ask for a pin before any purchase is allowed or channels are added and then connecting to the app, it seems those security measures did not carry over as the app did not ask for my pin when I added some channels and purchased my first movie. This concerns me as I have young kids and don’t want them to have free access to buy movies at will or add channels I don’t approve. It would be a really great supportive tool with this issue fixed! Love the ability to connect my headphones for quiet and more clear listening :)

It's convenient but it disconnects a lot. I still like it a lot. I just need to order a new remote from the website one day just in case my WiFi info changes.

Looses WiFi constantly! Don’t download it

Love it. Very easy to work

I dont get it and there is no instruction.

I love it but you guys need to fix the Spotify and make it user friendly :)

I cannot downloaded xfinity stream beta in my Ruko 2, why not I have to upgrade not fair

Aside from that, great app!

This App crashes more than it stays open. I tried to click on one artist, and every single time it force closed.... it was a neat app until this started - and I’ve had it for one week.

I’ve been having trouble connecting my phone to the roku stick even though they are on the same WiFi network- it only works every once in a while. Besides that, the app is pretty nice.

Ever since the update every time I try to use the app a pop-up window comes up saying I'm not connected to wifi (which I am) and I literally cant do anything on the app because of the pop-up window.

There is no headphone when using the app so it is close to useless for me. Yes you can use the headphone jack on the actual remote but that defeats the purpose of using the app for me because I use the headphones most of the times. One more suggestion for the developers: You should be able to use the headphone jack AND THE TV SPEAKERS AT THE SAME TIME. I like to watch TV at a louder volume than my girlfriend, so it would be nice if she could listen through the TV while I can listen through the headphones simultaneously.

I love this app it makes using the remote fun! I mess with my family all the time! Big laughs, mainly from me!!

Ever since the last update my app won’t connect to my devices so it is useless.

So simple and easy to use!

This app is fan-freaking-tastic. I’m constantly losing my remote in the bedroom and now I don’t have to tear the bed apart to find it. Being able to plug my headphones into the phone... YES PLEASE! I know, wireless headphones are a thing but Roku TV doesn’t have Bluetooth and I keep forgetting to pick up a toggle. Also being able to search via keyboard or voice... again, YES PLEASE!! Just brilliant.

I am getting interrupted constantly with some BS “there is no WiFi network” message. I can’t even get into Settings in the iOS app long enough to see what’s going on before it cause a pop-up and blocks everything with nonoption to quit/ignore.

I wish i could give this zero star because i cant even use it anymore. It just stops working and says im not connected to wifi . And i always am connected so i have no clue.

Lost my Roku remote just recently! Downloaded this app and it worked perfectly! Thanks Roku! Lifesaver!! 🙌🏽

Keeps saying something about eco mode

TERRIBLE

Just got the Roku tv and the first week I was so excited that I could completely control the tv with my phone INCLUDING TURNING IT ON AND OFF! So cool! But now I can’t turn it off without the remote, the button don’t always work and I can’t even turn down the volume using my phones volume control anymore. I’m worried the longer I use it the less things I’ll be able to get to work

I lost my remote and couldn’t go on anything. But then I found this app and it is amazing !!!!!!!!! Does things the remote itself doesn’t !!!! I LOVE IT

this shouldn’t be possible, had to unplug tv power cable

Works great ! I love it . So glad I found this app .

What I like about Roku vs. my Amazon Firestick is that on Roku you can use “YouTube T.V.” It has a Remote and it has more options on the remote for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and Sling.

This app crashes constantly and is very very slow. Not impressed.

Our Roku remote was dropped and broke. This app works great for a remote for Roku. Thank you!!

Absolutely love my Roku. I’ve had it for 1 year and just realized all that I could do with it! Best money ever spent!

Great app, connected to my Roku instantly and let’s me listen with headphones if needed👍

Just terrible

Easy to use

Why would I need too add a credit card just to create an account?

Amazinggggg

I can’t say anything less other than I love this app!

I really like the app. I use it mainly as a remote and it’s perfect for that. The really cool thing is that you can hook up your headphones and mute the tv for wireless sound. So great when you want to watch s movie while the wife is asleep.

The private listening headphone feature works for about 8 minutes and then cuts out. Really frustrating. Other than that it works great!

I wish Roku offered a Spotify app! But I do love the roku app. So helpful when I lose my remote!

Must have! Got rid of box. Always lose the remote. Phone app rocks! Love this app! Must have it!

It was fine the ONLY time I was able to connect to the stick. Since then it won’t connect at all, even manually with the IP address I’m reading directly from the stick’s settings screen.

I 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.

I was unhappy because the headphones what is not working with the app for me to hear my TV to my headphones

Not a scam this is the best remote app out there

It would be an awesome app if it could stay connected to WiFi/the tv itself for longer than 5 seconds so I could actually pick a show.

Was enjoying the Roku app until recent app update. Now it can’t find my tv on the same network.

What 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.

I use my phones WiFi hotspot to connect my Roku but for whatever reason this app would never even operate for me without an outside WiFi connection. I found the App pretty useless since I couldn’t even open it. Maybe they could release an update that allows it to open and run with Cellular data

App is great but lately it will not allow my phone to sleep. It will stay open all night and burn the battery down. It didn’t use to do that but in the last 2-3 months it has. Sounds like a bug

The private listening feature is great. I use it all the time with no issues. Thanks ROKU

Great app, so far so good, I love that you don’t have to go looking for roku remotes in the house, phone in hand and remote in hand, Awesome no complaints

When I voice search, and click on the results it redirects me to an app on my phone (Netflix). Why on earth would I use my Roku remote to watch movies on my phone???? This doesn’t make any sense. It should redirect you to the app on your tv not your phone. Everything else seems to work fine...

Great to have because the small remote is easy to lose

The integrated roku took my brand new tv hostage for 45 minutes while it updated itself (without asking if I wanted to update) and a bunch of “channels” I didn’t choose or cared about. No option to stop the process or to at least use the inputs in the meantime. Horrible customer experience.

Please make a widget remote so so you don’t have to keep unlocking your phone to keep watching your show!!

Before this last update “private listening”worked fine. Now this last update came and it cuts in and out kinda like a glitch sound. This is very irritating because the feature I used the most was the private listening, and now it doesn’t work. Why?!

This app works awesome. After my toddler bit the buttons of my original remote I found this app. The only thing I wish it would do is turn on the tv.

App consistently losing connection with my WiFi. Other apps are much better. Can’t send a review w out a nickname...

WiFi works, tv and phone connected to WiFi...

I used to LOVE this app and it used to work perfectly. Now it constantly says I’m not connected to WiFi even though I am. And it pops up everytime I try to use the app. I’m deleting it and downloading a different one. I’m so disappointed because this app used to be amazing.

The app does not read my IP address. I’ve tried everything and nothing works.

Every time I try to use this I get a No Wifi/Connect to Internet box that is REALLY annoying! I have to use other apps with ads which is just as bad😖

Love the voice recognition, does exactly what it claims, have some issues with connectivity most times I try to open it but that’s really small potatoes compared to the ease of use

App crashes upon attempting to open app. iPhone 8.

Lame if you have custom network it wont work. Wants you to be a lemming with wide open network. Roku let us enter our own ip and subnet mask please! The actual roku tv and devices allow it why not this app!

I’ve used this app for at least a year or two. I used to like it a lot. Now for some reason it keeps telling me my phone/Roku aren’t connected to the WiFi even when they are. I’ve tried resetting and restarting and it still happens. I know it seems small but it’s quite annoying when I can’t use the app for the entire reason I downloaded it.

Constantly jockeying between connected and non connected- go to settings. And I mean constantly!! For months!! It’s enough to drive a relatively easy going person back into the all encompassing arms of Comcast.

Roku is the easiest technology I have ever used. The handhelds, the app and the functions associated with each are great. The programming is terrific, but best of all it keeps getting better.

This app is good until I got the latest update. Now it won’t connect to any of my Roku’s. Very disappointed.

I only have one roku tv & this app. Works great. Only issue is that sometimes I get an error message saying “cannot connect” even when the WiFi is working. Super convenient to have the roku remote on a phone though especially when you have a crazy cat who chews all the buttons off of remotes!

It always disconnects. Every time. The longest that it has stayed on was about 45 minuets. And I have a strong WiFi connection. 96Mbps.

Lost my roku remote this app works great!

Best TV & app ever!!

Pretty awesome, no complaints so far!

Has great features that I love to use. But sometimes it has a hard time connecting to the tv. And when I’m using the headphones it sometimes disconnects. Of course it’s while someone is sleeping in the other room, so all of the sudden there’s sound blaring from the tv. Not good.

Love this app! Only reason I only gave it 4 stars is because it doesn’t have volume control :(

But know what will make it great? “No WiFi” messages gone. WHEN CONNECTED TO THE WIFI

Works 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 keeps saying it’s not connected to the WiFi when clearly it is. It’s pissing me off because it works on my friends phone.

I’m not happy with the Roku.. always a problem saying it can’t connect to the internet... got the extender for the WiFi... still giv es me a problem. Then I discone t Roku and use the Netflix on the tv and I have no problem connecting to WiFi... Any suggestions?

App keeps popping up saying it’s not connected to WiFi when it is. Have to go to settings and back to the app every 2-3 seconds. Thought the update would fix it but didn’t. This is the best interface available...really want it to work!

This app use to work great. Private viewing was an awesome feature. All of a sudden it has stopped working. It impossible to get any help from Roku. I’ve trouble shot but still not working.

It won’t locate my device for NOTHING I’ve tried everything! 3 months of trying.

Very good so far first time using my phone as a remote.

Love this system but it is so glitchy. Really wish I could sign in through the app. I'm able to sign in online just fine. There's 100 question options for me to read about only to try to fix my problem but no number or chatbot to talk to...

🤨

Since the change over in May I have to use the remote continues since subtitle end before end of episode.

Today while I update the app, it made my Roku tv crazy. It shutdown my tv by it self and couldn’t do anything. Please fix the problem.

I know that my network/WiFi isn’t bad at all. So it’s kind of frustrating when it can not connect because my device and tv aren’t on “the same network” although they are. I thought it could be that my network wasn’t great on my tv but it’s fine everywhere else (???) I’m not sure. I don’t usually have this problem and nothings changed with my WiFi. Hopefully this can be fixed one day. Until then I must find my remote 😩

Nice addition. Usually it’s the remote that makes me use the app. I even briefly used the headphone feature. Which sounds like a great addition. At least when I tried it, it didn’t work 100%. This was a few months ago mind you. And you will need to take into account many things. I was using a Roku TV. Latest update etc. The iPhone X was on its latest update. All in all, I hope for the best. I do hope the ADs don’t make this look and feel like crap. Roku said it’s in the AD business, not hardware. So we will see.

Won’t let me sign in AT ALL. I’ve already changed my password 3 times and it STILL WONT let me log in. 😡

He reason it’s two stars is it won’t turn on the tlc tv anymore I can only turn it on and off with the remote. Outside of that the app is very nice. My tv is about a year old. But now I can only use the remote app once the tv is on ever with the tv up to date on its end. So it’s a good app as long as it turns on and off the TVs. Once it can do that again I’ll change my ratings.

Lo mejor que puede haber en esta aplicación la recomiendo sin pensarlos dos veces

Please fix the disconnection problems with the app. Both TV and Phone are connected to WiFi fine, and the app will drop connection saying I don’t have WiFi on my phone?

This app truly doesn’t work! Everytime I open the app it says that my phone is not connected to any networks and it is. Then when it does come on it is delayed when displaying to my Roku TV

Works very well for my Ruko3

Doesn’t Connect Even After Rebooting My iPhone. Same WiFi network and the TCL ROKU TV is working find.

Another company doesn't give a $%#} about iPad users. I'm not going to take my $1000 device off of the dock for your app. Nice try, though.

This is a convenient app with great features. My only problem is that sometimes the tv doesn’t connect to my phone. My cell phone will idly searching for my tv for long periods of time, even though my tv is set up, turned on, and is connected to the same WiFi as my phone. Other than that it’s a great app.

Only app I have that constantly disconnects from WiFi and won’t work without it....tried everything to fix problem but it is beyond a reasonable doubt the app that is the problem. Would give it 5 stars if it didn’t have this problem

We are a pretty large family of seven. Everyone wants the remote until its stepped on. I rely on a remote app for controlling the tv. Roku has really let me and my family down. When I have this app in use it keeps on cutting off and I have to reload it constantly. Now I can’t even get it to connect to my tv (internet connected to both)

I like the remote but it won’t load the photo screensaver

No ads so far, seems legit and able to switch through different devices.

I love this app because if I lose my remote I can this unless if I lose my WiFi I can still use it. But I can’t launch any app without wifi

Won’t let me sign into roku account. Tried multiple times. User/password works when logging in on laptop. Does not work on this app Garbage

App won’t recognize a Roku TV that is connected to the internet. When I try to manually connect, I get a “Did not connect” message. Followed all recommended recommendations to make connection to no avail.

Great app, docking two stars though as the keyboard doesn't seem to work with any other app besides Netflix and Hulu (no YouTube, no Prime Video, etc)

I lost my remote so I downloaded this for the remote, honestly would be perfect if it didn’t constantly disconnect from my tv. It works fine when I first open the app, but it eventually will say that it disconnected or that I’m not connected to WiFi (even tho I am), and the only thing that makes it work again is deleting the app and then re-downloading it. And then the process starts all over again where it works the first time I use it but eventually disconnects. It’s an endless cycle, very frustrating, will probably just spend the money to get a new remote.

i love the option where you can listen to your television with headphones!! It’s really great for when you’re watching your tv late at night!

This app is perfect for my tv. My wife and niece kept losing the remote(under couch, under pillows, between cousins). Now I don’t care where the remote is at. I always have my phone in my pocket. PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!

Just set it up and it is outstanding.

Doesn’t work very well, confusing. Stuck on the same page.

Fix your app

Saves you lots of money Nd time

Their system had issues with processing my card and I had to spend hours calling several times before it could actually go through

Never lets me connect always says to retry.

This app does everything you would want in an app plus some things you didn’t know you wanted! Best app I’ve ever used, TBH.

Just download this today solely to get “mute” since roku remote doesn’t have one. In the App Store I can see 3 volume buttons on the last row of the remote, but that whole row doesn’t exist on my phone.

I have the Roku stock. It keeps going back to the home page in the middle of a show or movie. Then it won’t take you back to where it left off. There is no support to fix the issue and lots of others have the same problem. Google it and see for yourself. Thanks Roku for selling me on the Apple TV. 😕

I got a Roku because it was supposed to include all companies and apps. But- no ATT WatchTV. Great app, but please add WatchTV ASAP.

Very responsive and fast.

Easier to type in long titles on the keypad of the phone.

Beware. I have frustratingly need to constantly log in, verify device, scan through all purchase options every single occurrence of power loss to my &@/!!6,21,3,11,14!!! Roku 3. 5 calls to cust.service fully admits probs, all due to programming changes that purposefully make it difficult to continue using a device, long since deemed, redundant. Roku please replace this puppy, of a troublesome animal.

I lose my remote way to often and this app really helps.

Nice for when my husband falls asleep with the remote in his hand! App. works well, I like being able to divert sound through phone speaker and use earphones. Searching is easier with qwerty keyboard function. Yes, great app!

I’d rate it higher, but I have never been able to get my phone connected to either of my Roku TVs no matter how many times I follow Roku’s directions to troubleshoot.

I purchased my Roku around 8 months ago. I loved it and have probably sold numerous other Rokus based on my experience. However, this app is complete garbage. It works wonderfully for 6ish months then continuously throws up error messages saying that your device isn’t in network despite there only being one network available.

For the past couple months, the app is unusable. Even though I have WiFi connected, a box pops up that directs me to my WiFi settings. It doesn’t allow you to use the remote and is super frustrating. I’ve tried restarting my phone, deleting and redownloading the app.. everything.

I recently switched to Roku after having a couple chrome casts for a few years. Streaming is crystal clear and it’s really nice to have a casting device that’s doesn’t need a phone to operate. Other cool features like private listening mode so you dont haven’t to annoy your friend/girlfriend/ boyfriend/whatever with your workaholics binging. Comes with a nifty remote for only 30 bucks! No lag or glitches like chrome cast. I recommend this to anyone wanting a true smart tv experience, you will not be disappointed.

So I just got this app today for the Roku I just got yesterday cause I already lost my actual remote, and it’s amazing. 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.

When I connect Bluetooth headphones to listen to my Roku through app when I disconnect audio doesn’t return to sound bar I have to reboot the Roku ultra 95% of the time

Who 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!!

Keeps disconnecting from my TV and now won’t connect at all

This Roku remote control app works so good on my Roku TV. I like all the features especially the remote headphone feature private listening him that I can listen to it away from the TV I can walk all around the house. I can actually mow the yard and listen to the TV. I love how easy it is to cast to from my cell phone and other devices it works great I am satisfied I will buy a Nother one.

Great remote control. I use it daily. Fast on the new iPhones. But the keyboard search not working on the free version.I would have given it 5 star if it’s keyboard YouTube search function.

Upon 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.

It’s amazing! I feel like everyone except ne loses the remote eight before I want to wathc tv- ANNOYING! However, using this app makes it less annoying!

It’s like a fun and awesome thing I love it

I use this app to connect my Bluetooth speakers using private listening. That feature is really cool! However, connecting the app to the tv can be a hassle. I find myself manually entering the IP address in order to connect. Once it’s connected it works flawless. Don’t know what’s up with that, it used to connect automatically.

A frozen duck

Greatly improved previous versions dropping private listening signal. Much improved! Still a noticeable lag when using app instead of actual remote, but significantly better than before.

Having a lot of trouble with this app

It’s sitting figuring out to open I Put the IP address it’ does nothing

I can’t connect to the darn thing and now I reinstalled the app I can’t see it

I don’t no what’s wrong with the Roku thing but I’m gonna delete it soon.

It is so nice Because if you can if you lost the remote you can use your phone and download this app which is good😘🙂😎😁😋

Seems 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!!

Update: This app still will not work for my tv anymore. I loved this app until it no longer connects to my tv for some reason. For the past two days it’s been impossible to connect and I love this app specifically to listen to my shows with headphones in.

The remote is functional but the app will give me an ad every time I pause or play a movie. Every time I’m scrolling, it only takes 5 or so taps for another ad to pop up. Wouldn’t recommend

Needs to go back to the original remote.

I like this app my grandkids love the channels that we get

After spending $60 at Best Buy to get this streaming service, following instructions and setting it up as recommended.. it does not work. I have added my channels, which don’t show in my home page, I cannot add channels “error.” My thoughts... do not buy.

I have tried for over one whole year to get resolution to an issue with the Mobile Screensaver on the Roku 4 - 4400X. I have not been able to change or even remove the photos I added. I have uninstalled the app several times. I have even tried from another device (I have an iPhone 6 with up-to-date iOS). I have a thread of more than 30 emails with “support” and then I don’t hear back. Garbage.

THIS APP IS HORRIBLE! NEVER EVEN CONNECTS!!!! DONT DOWNLOAD ITS NOT WORTH IT!!

I love it! It's so helpful! Everything about this app is lovely! I just wish it had volume buttons. That's the only thing it's missing.

I got this app because I wanted to be able to use my headphones with my Roku, according to the advertisement on the app you should be able to do that but in actuality when you download the app the option for headphones are not included

My husband likes to control the remote and gets fussy if I relocate it from where he left it. This app allows me to change channels, adjust volume and do everything the regular remote does which helps keep the peace

In a world where every device is tech, computer wizards seem to forget about the technology challenged folks. Thank goodness the designers at Roku have kept it clean, simple, and straightforward. Our cable company makes us rent one device to be able to steam through Roku, but Roku’s is so much better we stuck the cable box off in a guest room no one uses and placed our Roku on the main TV. Couldn’t be happier!

I HAVE A TCL ROKU AND MY IPHONE 7 CANNOT CONNECT COMPLETE TRASH

Lost the remote and this works so all in all, it was a good save!

Would’ve given 5 stars if I was able to change the volume and if it didn’t disconnect so much.

I loved it originally. It’s seems they have recently done an update unfortunately. It’s always freezing, losing connection to TV or WiFi, even restarting. It’s a complete pain to use now.

I think it’s extremely selfish of this company to take away private listening on older Roku devices to get people to buy a new Roku TV. Please bring it back. Not everyone can afford a new device every time a new one comes out. Until then, I can only give this app 1 star.

Allows me to use Private Listening on my iPhone. Like all things Roku, it’s intuitive - easy to learn and use. Thank you :)

It helps when you don't remember where you put your controller or you don't have one!!!!!!

Súper buena la app, un maravilla

I like this app better then going to buy a remote for roku tv. I haven’t had any issues with it. Stopped loosing the remote in my house to.

I am a visually impaired user of this application. I noticed that on the remote control, where the arrows and the OK button and anything else are concerned. 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.
