Disappointed. App does not work correctly

10. Love it

It’s an ok app. I am happy with this app except for the fact I have to double tap to change the led color

Trash.. If I could give it crock would. I can be right next to the WiFi, right next to my TURNED ON TV and it still won’t work. TRASH.

I love ROKU. I lost my remote I got this it works so good love the deteal

It’s getting clunky. Roku adding so much clutter to the Home Screen on your TV. Not even ads. Just clutter. What was that useless update few days ago where they added a line to the top of the Home Screen, thus ruining the apps and pushing them further down. I’m going to another streaming brand if this continues.

My experience with Roku. My Roku remote broke, and with the app I can finally control my TV

Avery. It is good because it do not have known payment

GOOD THING. Whenever my Remote Is missing ITS LIKE ALWAYS.I NEED THIS. AM HAPPY ABOUT THIS. REMOTE ON PHONE. I love this Remote.

Roku. This is such an, interesting, amazing, app to use if you don’t have a remote or lost it

App is useless. Trying to connect my tv with my app never seems to work, so all those ads saying if you can’t find your remote just use your Roku app are just wrong!

1 star. I put 1 stars because this app does not want to connect to my tv my phone and tv on the same wifi and it still says unable to connect because theyre apparently on different wifis but they aint fix this stupid app

Sigma. Very sigma

The best app. It helps me to watch on the TV so I gave it to a 5

Why I love this app. Love this app it works so good and I love that it gives you movies and shows incase your trying to watch something new.And it also shows the things that you could keep watching.Pr the main part of it the remote it has great internet and that’s why I think it’s a great app.

Disappointed. You leaked personal information no excuse ! You should of had better security and what are you doing to provide protection ??!

MY WHOLE FAMILY LOVES IT. I LOVE THIS APP!!!! MY DAD AND MY MOM DOES TO!! ITS SO HELPFUL MY MOMS AND DADS TV REMOTE WENT MISSING SO I SAID GET THE APP! WE DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NO TV NIGHTS OR HAVING TO SET UP A UNIVERSAL REMOTE OR NO MORE MOVIE NIGHTS THIS IS THE BEST FREE APP!!!!

Game. Nice Absolutely love it

Horrible. Barely ever allows me to connect to my tv

The first thing you wdo here is to. The only way to know is by watching

horrible app!!!. I submitted my monthly minimum payment on the discover app but instead over 4000.00 was taken out of my checking account NOT ONCE But Twice!!!! Leaving my bank account with being over drawn 2000.00!!!! Leaving me in a horrible predicament

Roku is the best. I love it because I don’t have to use my remote and find it and it’s also a five star because anywhere I can just type

Bad app don’t loose ur control. This app is horrible. I updated it and went worse. Will bring ur tv volume 0-100 and scare everyone. Phone won’t connect to tv. Tv won’t respond horrible app. Don’t download

Subscriptions. Why am I paying for extra channels and get (some channels unavailable) I’m not going to renew if I’m going to be limited to what I can watch. I’m talking about HULU, ESPN+, so I will be cancelling my account in a week.

Update screwed up the app. Remote worked fine last night on my phone. Connected just fine. Woke up this morning and it wouldn’t connect. Was trying to troubleshoot and my finger accidentally hit the forget this device. FYI!!!!! NEVER HIT THAT BUTTON! You will never get that device back on. I looked though every troubleshooting issue and no resolve. Now I can’t add the device back. They need to figure out a way to help ppl who has these issues. If the remote didn’t just stop working it wouldn’t have happened. I’m not happy.

Annoying bug with App Remote connecting to TV. There is a very annoying bug in the App that has been present for a while. When you first open the Roku App it can connect to both my my TVs but when you close out (but not force quit) the app and try to go back into the remote it is unable to reconnect and the Roku app remote does not respond. I believe the issue is with SSIDs with multiple WiFi bands (2.4ghz/5ghz) but it is present on multiple devices. Please fix this! The logic is poor when reconnecting. Maybe it is defaulting to a specific radio band or some other issue but please Dev team fix this. I will continue using 3rd party apps like Rokie for the time being until this is fixed

Doesn’t work. It won’t even let me connect my tv device!!!!

Great!. I like how I can use my phone as a remote.

Really good. Hehhdhehhdhdgydhvvjn

Good. I’d give 5 stars but I can’t. I have a Roku tv and it lets me control everything, I have a Roku device plugged into a different tv, and this app doesn’t let me control the volume for that Roku device which is dumb. Should really fix that, other than that; I’d give 5 stars because this is a free app and it’s always worked for me , besides with the Roku stick.

Excellent remote control. Absolutely love this app. Great remote replacement.

Not free. It may not charge you to download (most apps don’t) but it does require a subscription that you must pay

issues with remote connection. hardly ever connects to my tv properly

It is kinda good, but not that good. It goes kinda slow first of all the remove the sent. This is not good. It works slow on the TV. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it is just like I don’t even know what to say right now it is bad but it’s kind of good but three stars is kind of good, OK OK it’s better than nothing. OK I won’t give no four or five stars OK?

Need update. We should be allowed to select our device manually without entering the IP address when we log into our account

Worst. Slowest app ever. Have had to uninstall and reinstall to get the remotes to connect. Just did my 9th reinstall. Only had the app for abt 7 months 8 months.

Bruh. 10 star rating bro this is the best app I’ve ever had

Remote on iPhone doesn’t work.. I have been trying to use the remote for iPhone in the Roku app for several days. My tv is on the same WiFi as the phone and the app on iPhone says it is connected. Cannot even turn the tv on with the app. The Roku tv doesn’t have any power on switch on the set or tuning controls if the supplied remote control is misplaced, so no stars for the tv.

👌. Better than an actual remote!;)

Joined the dark side. I used to recommend these devices highly and have personally purchased 50+ devices for myself, family and friends (there are at least 5 still used regularly at my home alone). Reasoning: 1. Recently Roku pushed an update that effectively bricked all Roku devices unless you click “agree” to a revised terms of service (no option to decline). 2. Most of these companies spy on you. Until recently Roku seemed like one of the less obnoxious ones despite requiring a verified email simply to use the system. 3. Upcoming data breach lawsuit and other shenanigans (probably the reason for the forced terms of service change, check it out on youtube @ Louis Rossmann

This is great. So I’m a nine year old but my parents always have the remote I like watching icarly but it keeps asking me if I I want to continue watching it makes me so mad but it’s great so download this on your phone or iPad it’s just is best

Sussy. Good app

question. this isnt really a review but why can’t I connect my Roku app when it’s not on my network kinda dumb ..

Unusable update. New update has made it impossible to log into account and basically rendered the entire app useless. I lost my remote during a move so basically can’t use Roku TCL tv at all. So obnoxious.

Roku is not working. I think I have to sign into Roku, set it up again. I don’t know how. It’s not working.

By The time Ty. Yrhhr

Battery life eater. And don’t forget to turn it off after you stop watching - your phone will likely be drained shortly.

It good. It good

Great app. I love it my family and I are always losing the tv remote and this app saves the day!!

Legendas. Need movies with portugues legendas

Roku remote on iPhone. This is a lifesaver. My Nowtv remote was damaged and I thought I’d need to locate a new one. Apparently, Nowtv don’t produce the tv stick anymore so this app from Roku enabled me to carry on watching tv seamlessly.

Can’t get TNT sports app to work. Remote control doesn’t work. See above

Not great. Doesn’t connect properly to the tv takes about 5 minutes to get it to connect to start using the remote and it disconnects if not jsed for a period of time even if the app is still open!!

Apple Watch app 👎🏿. The Apple Watch app always forgets it’s connection making it useless without the phone close by, may as well just use the actual remote that comes with the telly

Slow!!. App is useful, no doubt about that. But it’s very slow and sometimes will take ages to register key press

Great app broken. With the latest 2 upgrades if you should go off screen and do anything else, the app freezes. For instance, my security camera gave me a notification and when I come back to the app it does not Respond. Forcing a quit and relaunch of the app, then it works again. Rinse and repeat. Therefore making this app redundant. It does however have other excellent features features such as the search function and typing or speech recognition. Mirroring. But, its failure in its basic functionality makes it a deal breaker. It use to be a good solution. I have a projector and so in a darkened room the included remote with Roku is not adequate. This app no longer works, without frustration, so I will go back to 15yr old, back lit Phillips Pronto remote. Sometimes new technology can be more of a hindrance than a benefit. UPDATE: 10.0.2. Has fixed the above app freeze. I’m well happy the issue has been resolved.

Great little device. Love it.

Rarely connects. Hate this app. It never connects to my remote (I have 5 roku boxes and it cannot connect to any of them) and always says “cannot connect to internet” - my phone and tv is online! Ridiculous for a remote that’s been out for so long

NEVER WROTE A REVIEW BEFORE. honestly the worst app I’ve ever used in my entire lifetime, takes ages to connect to my device and when it does it randomly disconnects or has a serious delay when pressing buttons, I don’t want to hear any problem solvers because my internet is fine and so is my phone and Roku device, it’s just the app that is incredibly incompetent

55’ Polaroid Roku Smart TV. Love the picture and features and the app although whenever I change the volume through the app it starts to change back to what I stated with besides that it’s really good

The best to app. When I had lost my remote I found this it is a great app if you get it you will be very surprised at how good this is you need to get this one but the thing is there are other apps like this and you might have to pay for it but this is completely free. SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR GET IT NOW

Help full. When I loos my remote I can just use the app

very useful. this is amazing

AMAZING!!. I LOVE this app it’s perfect and easy to use and it’s great for lazy people like me

Loved it. I love how you can talk into your phone and I’m going I just loved it so much I can’t speak kids love it because I’ve got them then one and sleep time is perfect perfect I could just put a sleep timer on the kid thing and they love it. Thank you

Excellent streaming device. Excellent streaming device. Easy to use no fuss

Roku is amazing. Roku helped me get my kids tv on when she lost the remote not to mention how it connects so easily and the best part is that…ITS FREE! If you are reading this and does not have Roku installed you know what to do and IM NOT AI I AM A HUMAN!!!

OMG, it worked. It’s pretty cool, definitely get this app it’s so good if you have a Roku five stars

Disconnection. Eveytime it is disconnecting while watching the TV

The wifi. Is Anoying about it said “no wifi “ Is really Anoying

Inappropriate content. Shows explicit and sexually provocative content next to children’s content under the suggestions. No way to turn off! Parents beware!

Roku. Works very well for me doesn’t have any glitches as in doesn’t pause or doesn’t rewind very fast it’s very good quality love the app!

Temperamental Remote. When it works it is great, but the remote constantly locks up. The volume controls work, as does the on/off control, so the batteries are fine, but to move across apps and channels just doesn’t work. Then the next day, with no changes, it suddenly starts working again. Would you accept a car, or a kettle, that was this temperamental?

My Roku. Bought the Roku express, now I’m going out to buy a Roku tv. I’m very pleased with the quality of Roku.

Free, easy and VERY useful!. No need to sign in to your Roku account unless you want to save favourites etc. Finds your devices and works immediately. The private listening option is amazing. Just tap the headphone icon on the remote tab and it mutes the TV and starts playing on your phone. I mostly listen from my phone's speaker, but plugging in or wirelessly linking headphones also works brilliantly. This feature makes it so easy to watch TV when everyone else is asleep. Tap the icon again to unmute the TV and stop listening on your phone. Tap on channel/app thumbnails to go straight to them. Very convenient. It's a great remote app. Does everything you need. My only request for future updates would be the option to listen on your phone AND the TV at the same time. It would help people who can't hear very well and also those living with family who constantly talk loudly over everything!

Roku app irrelevant. This Roku app is fine, but its irrelevant because the actual streaming stick is utter garbage. Don’t waste your money on something that can’t stay connected to the internet for more than 2 minutes at a time. Utter, utter trash.

Hit & miss if it will work. My remote broke & had to use this app until replacement arrived. I'm glad there was this option but it's not very responsive & sometimes just won't work. A bit frustrating

The first time I had a remote on my phone. I think this app is amazing, because if you lose your remote, you can just have your Roku remote on your phone and it’s there at all times I don’t have any words to say this app is just amazing

Keeps disconnecting. I have to uninstall this and use one of the non official versions which actually stay connected, basically unusable at times just keeps disconnecting, and when rewinding or fast forwarding once it disconnects it just continues to fast forward or rewind because I can’t press ok to stop it, the unofficial Roku remotes work perfectly, I can deal with there ads over this any day, tried all the trouble shooting methods, nothing works, tried this on multiple high end tvs so clearly not the TVs problems

Best thing ever. When I lose my remote I use this😂

Apps. An app I pay a subscription for has disappeared and Roku are still happy to charge me whilst offering me no support

I love remote on the app. I lost my romote the app remote is perfect and works better than the actual remote I originally had. I love the app

Amazing. I recently broke my remote and had to wait to order a new one this app was perfect while i waited!!!

Roku express 4K. The Roku 4K is an excellent streaming product with only the caveat that it doesn’t have in the UK the large variety of programs which it has in the USA.

Roki. Great app on my phone and television

The best. It is so good I love it omg 😂🥰

Roku tv remote. Actually works ! Brilliant for when little ones move the tv remote

Poor updated app. Latest update will no work as a remote, says Roku sticks not connected to network. Reset both Roku connections but next day not connected again. Worked perfectly before, handy when remote batteries went flat at night. Please sort it

Great app 👍. I am really grateful this app exists if you lose your remote you can use this and you don’t need to pay anything for anything and it can open apps for you

The best Wi-Fi remote available. This is the best in so many ways

Roku. I haven’t really used it a lot since I got the tv but I think the app will be good

Not good nor bad. It works for a few days and then just suddenly stops I out in my ip address and it just says there’s no network connected .

Alternative to bad remotes. I recently bought and returned three Roku remotes because of buttons wearing out after a couple of weeks of use . At least this won’t have that problem!

Remote woes. When it works, it’s great but the remote uses a set of batteries every couple of months. The stream bar then doesn’t communicate with the remote and I have to reset it, losing all my log in details for each channel. It might be in the bin soon. It’s a shame because the sound is good.

Annoying pop about rating the app. Great app, just really annoying to get a pop-up all the time about rating the app.

From jaquavis. If u read this your gay

Pair new remote.. Very annoying you can’t change a remote to a different Roku without it being on same network! Trying to get a box working but can’t find remote! The app won’t find Roku 1 box & we brought from a different home & hence network. Really frustrating and annoying you can’t pair until it’s set up WHICH I CANT DO.

Unreliable. I mainly want to use this to avoid having to type in complex passwords using a physical Roku remote. When it gives the option to auto fill passwords it puts something into the box that means the password is wrong, I assume an extra blank character. A workaround for this is to copy and paste the password from the password manager on your phone which proves the remote is doing something wrong with the auto fill On some streaming sites this doesn’t work at all and neither does copying and pasting a password or username it just makes loads more of clicking noises like it’s typing something but the box remains blank

Terrible. Controller never works. Pretty useless

The worst of the worst app. Everytime it connects for 2 mnutes than disconnects itself. Thought this feaure was a gem so bought this device but its just a catch that doesnt work at all.

No SBS on demand or 10play. Can’t get SBS on demand or 10play even though I am in Australia

Great app. Fantastic app. Love the ability to be able to listen through wireless headphones. It’s very easy to navigate and runs seamlessly

Constantly Crashing after todays update l. Usually a good app, but appears today it has had a number of updates making some of its simple functions more difficult to get to, and it has crashed 4 times in the last hour. Also appears to heat up the phone quite significantly. I don’t need pops and extra features, just the remote will do.

Rubbish. Completely hopeless. Always says there’s no wifi when all other wifi devices working fine. Makes the app pointless. Yes latest version is installed.

Parental control - none. Hi There is zero parental control for “channel” like YouTube…. You can not set access restriction. (Roku problem) You can not set time restriction. (Roku problem) You can not prevent child switching profiles (googles problem) So I guess I have to delete YouTube because that’s the only restriction I can do is block installing apps “channels” Also adding channel 7 took more than 30 re-download attempts because it kept having a error even after tv reset and there is no way to clear the data cahce that was obviously causing the error. I’m not sure what I did to successfully get it to work after it failed so many times after downloading.

Great. We lost the remote control For weeks and the app was great

Lost remote. Lost remote trying to connect with app and it won’t let me reset the wifi so annoying

Patience required. I’m in Australia, no idea if this is relevant to the fact that this app requires higher maintenance than my partner. Works well in the morning, gets totally confused as the day passes, to the point where I have to delete and download again. I’ll keep my man, this app however,, bye

Update Resolution. Hi, please update the resolution of the backgrounds on the app on iPad to at least 4K resolution. When opening on iPad the backgrounds are blurry as if they were designed for a smaller device like a phone.

Very Good Stream OS. Hey Roku you are one of the best but I strongly recommend to change your useless very clicky odd control remote to something rechargeable and touch button functionality Roku you have the most useless control remote in the world. Also you need to update your UI just make it easy to navigate between app which you call channels 😂 i mean it’s very hard to find “channels” it’s very hard to navigate add or delete the apps sorry the channels! I mean about to give up on Roku because of your super useless c.remote and UI. Getting enough annoyed to switch to something else. This are the main reason you are loosing your popularity and TV manufacturers keep avoiding using Roku OS, because they listens consumers but Roku doesn’t do that. You are loosing your grip in tech i guess it’s time to change a bit?! All i can say as a Roku user i am about to say goodbye to Roku.

Very helpful. Me and my family were getting ready to move so we had a bunch of stuff packed up and we must’ve bumped our Roku remote in a bag so it was lost at that time but then we remembered we could get this app and just make this our mini remote thanks for making this app Roku Team!

Lost. I lost my ruku remote so I tried a app and it told me to pay a lot of money but I tried this app it is amazing When I can't find the remote I can just use this app

Français. La plupart des films ne sont pas traduit en français c’est tte difficile pour moi de regarder des films sur ROKU

Problems. Once Roku is activated can’t get rid of it. Have to unplug it.

Annoying. From the start, if Roku created this app, it should be free. If not, then they should make one. I paid for their product already! Now I have to pay again to be able to use it?!? The cost to create is minimal, and to reproduce is zero! To use it for free is the final feat of futility! The adds, closing of the usable window, etc…

It’s great. I can go to the apps that I used a while ago and I can troll my friends to think that there I a ghost in there tv.whercs great when my tv remote breaks also from Ryan trahan

Bad remote. Remote sucks

the app is all we have for headphone bluetooth... and its terrible and drops out constantly. roku needs to go back to the drawing board on this terrible app. i require bluetooth and this 2021 tv only accepts roku bluetooth devices, and the only connection for tv is in the roku app with the bluetooth from a tablet and the headphone feature, which drops all the time.... oh, well, its free i guess.

Roku. Thank for fixing the bugs this is a pretty good app if u loose your Roku remote or just don’t like using it

Roku. Too many hoops to jump through to try and eliminate channels that I no longer want. I do not recommend this product at all!!!

This app is so good buy it yourself and see what I’m talking about. App is so good I lost my TV remote, so I just use Roku app

To Roku. I love having your remot so come to my house and kiss my lips and we will marry each other now bring me a boy

Hello. I will say it’s stylish instead of remote I can use an app

It is so good 🍑🍆🥵🥵🥵daddy. 10,10

Really good!. I keep loosing the remote (irl) and the app helps out alot! Thx for the app!

Connection. Very hit and miss if my IPhone will connect to my Roko tv.

Refuses to connect a lot. I love this app so much… when it works. Majority of the time it’s trying hard to connect, I even upgraded wifi providers with no change. Recently it kicked both my partner and I off and now it won’t come up on our device list even though it’s connected to the same wifi, I’ve typed in the IP address, reset everything and still no luck.

Bugggyyyy. Didn’t expect the app to be this buggy. The sound is choppy, gets out of sync, keyboard keeps turning on when in remote mode… I mean this app has been in the App Store for how long now? It’s feels like beta and not ready to be released.

Sick of multi dimensional multi remotes. I love the simplicity of Roku remote. I get annoyed when I visit others who have 3 remotes and 100buttons to watch tv. Roku has all the channels I will ever need and all free.

Love. I just dont like how the tv needs to be connected to an internet connection to control the tv

Satisfied Customer😊. For the price you pay I could not believe how easy it was to install and enjoy. Thanks to the technology for making this very user freindly.👍

Won’t connect to my phone. Whenever I try to connect my tv to my remote it just kicks my phone off wifi and fails.

Amazing app. This is an amazing free app it works just as well as the bought one my friend has.

Never connects. I’ve had my tv for a few years and I have no problems. This app works maybe 1 out of 10 times and it’s infuriating honestly cause my network has been the same for the last 5 years.

Super!!!. I prefer use Roku instead of chrome! More simple!

This app is the best. I think this app is the best because you can get it for free and you can also hook it up on any TV but it has to be Roku and you can get it on your iPad or your phone and I just think it’s really cool

Way better Then rokie. Il better Thanh roc kid whitnno ads

please correct your app. i am not able to use it for a long time as it doesn’t see my TV anymore. Garbage

Great app. Keep it’s up

Meilleur à mettre en télé. E

Roku not working.. I am a snowbird, when I come to Arizona after about a month I lose function of Roku. Nothing will happen whe I try to play a show. When I return to Canada it works again . What do I need to do to have Roku in the states?

The last update broke the iOS app.. Constantly and consistently freezes very frustrating force closing it every single time I need it. 1 star until fixed

Ty. You help me a lot thank you but all in all it’s a very good app

No offline feature.. The tv remote I had broke. And moving to a new house made using the tv impossible, can’t turn it on without it being on wifi and can’t connect it to wifi without being able to use a remote

You can’t use the remote. I lost the real remote at my old house and tried to use this app to replace it, but my roku is not connected to the wifi so I can’t use the online remote because it has to locate it on the wifi

AMAZING. So happy with this app. Took seconds to download then only a few second to find my Roku and work! This is the best as I always lose my little remote!

Trouble. I have a client in a nursing home. He has a Roku device that he really enjoys when it actually works which isn’t very often. The remote control and the device very rarely work in harmony with one another and so he gets to stare at a black screen for hours instead of getting to watch an old western movie.

GREAT APP SOMETIMES -. great app but its sometimes a little slow to connect. But GREAT.

Stopped working. Used to work great, good features

Disconnected from tv. Have to delete and reinstall every other day because it won’t connect to the TV otherwise works fine

So easy to use. With a click of a button and like could change my show and turn on the TV when I lost my remote, it didn’t take a minute no ads and no money lost

Lo mejor. Lo meor

Great app. I really like how I can control from your phone

Glitchy. The app is great, if it works. It often disconnects from my tv and then I can’t use my headphones, plus once it disconnects itself, it typically won’f reconnect for hours.

Could not disconnect so fast. Obvious sitting in my room, watching TV and I put my phone down for like five minutes while I watch a video and it was disconnected so when I went to skip the ad I couldn’t so please don’t make this connection so any otherwise it was good and I loved it might rain on the battery the other day so this really helped❤️❤️ Would recommend

Roku Remote. Excellent app for the Roku T.V broke my remote for the tv and this helps so much!

Remote. I use it every time I lose my remote or it falls under my bed and can’t be assed to crawl under and get it. Thank you for making this app

Roku Rocks. I have a Roku Steaming

Bad app. SuckS can’t even use it and won’t let me delete

Dont get this app. "Turn your TV on and try again" as it's on after 15 minutes is so annoying, go find a third party app if you actually need an app that's consistent. Don't get these TV's unless you want more wifi taken up more for no reason, had no connectivity issues prior to having my Roku. Now I can't even play a full game of fortnite, or get more than 1mbps download speed. Screw all of you.
