I want to say this to anyone who will read this I am so so EXTREMELY!!!!!happy that this Roku remote application was created.. my disabled son(autistic 26 year old) had an extremely bad day a couple weeks back and he couldn’t get the remote to his Roku to cooperate...so what does my wonderful understanding loving son do he throws the Roku remote at his television.. well the television survived the remote did not. Afterward I explained to him that the remote was not fixable well he was very upset with himself and the inability to use the Roku in his bedroom.. so What does any mom do when she sees her sons heart breaking I went online to buy a new remote well what I found was that for the price of a new remote I might as well get him a new Roku or an inexpensive Roku I knew he would not be happy with a new one because it would not be his Roku and my sone he does not do well with changes in his life. so Later that day I went through the apple store Applications just to see if There was anything and I mean anything i could use for this unusable device (at this moment it was unusable because I would not give him the remote to my Roku) Well to my surprise I found a Roku remote application. I was so extremely happy I think I actually cried because the thought that I could download the remote onto his cell phone and I knew that’s remote issue like this wouldn’t happen again because not only does he carry his cell everywhere he has never scratched dented or dropped his cell so I knew this was going to be a great thing. so I downloaded the Application I showed him how to use the app ( it took about an hour or two)(as David Bowie and I both said before CHANGES!!!!) and after teaching my son how to use the phone remote we’ve not had a Single issue of throwing the cell phone (ie.. Roku remote)..so what I want to say to everyone involved with the creation of this application a huge thank you not only have you all saved the day but you saved my pocketbook..

This is to much money and there are infusions and people need to take care off bills and other things so I do use the app but I might go to a different app because of the money please lower or get rid of the prices or other people will leave and so will I 👎this is bad because I have things I have to pay for and I shouldn’t have to pay money go a remote to be able to watch TV like that’s very sad. I shouldn’t have to do that and I don’t wanna have to do that. That’s just wasting too much money on something that I can do when I can watch TV like you’re basically charging me for buying a remote, but I’m downloading it and I’m using it so there shouldn’t be a problem. I just don’t understand why these apps keep setting up prices. This is why I put a three star and next time I might put a one star because you guys need to fix this this is unacceptable like apps making us spend our money and we don’t then they get mad and do these things with the app because we’re not getting the money up. You can’t take our money because you want you can’t take your money because you’re broke. We have to do things too.

I have an Apple TV as well, and the app for that is way better, despite being one screen. No ads, unlike this, and a message pops up on my phone when I need to type for search. Both apps are visually pleasing, and despite not liking this app, I do appreciate the channel screen and being able to go straight to another channel while being in another app. I wish the search function was as efficient as the Apple TV remote app, but I imagine it’s easier for apple since everybody with that app has an iPhone (I think). This app works fine enough if you lose your remote, but there is NO reason to use it otherwise. I use my apple remote app all the time, despite still having my remote handy. The ads on this app are ridiculous. I can barely do anything before one pops up, lasting 30 seconds to a a minute. If you want to use your phone as a remote because you think it’ll be faster, it won’t be. And honestly, if you lost your remote, just buy a new one. I get that you can pay $2 to get rid of the ads, but this shouldn’t be a problem in the first place. I already see ads on my Roku screen and I know they profit off of their products, so why do they feel the need to have ads in a remote app? It’s ludicrous!

I have had a few Roku devices over the last few years .Originally I found the products reliable and user friendly and when I had issues customer service was a phone call and a five minute fix.Now days it seems things have changed, for example: if you have need for technical support, you will not find a phone number for tech-support, in fact, you will end up on the website with a technical chat advisor and before they connect you with someone that can”help” you with your technical issues you will have to provide payment information. I believe that Roku has gotten a bit greedy and buyers need to be where purchasing their television sets might limit your freedom of choice when it comes to streaming outside of your Roku subscription, which the way things are going, they’re almost pressuring you to have to use your new TV. The price for their large flat screens TV is awesome, but the catch is if you have an issue, you’re going to have to pay in order to figure it out, unless you happen to be savvy enough on your own
