This app is so on point. When I push a button it’s even faster reacting than the actual remote. So smooth and if you play around with all the extra features I just found out it has, you will be really impressed. For example, you know when you have to type in a password or your email with the dreaded roku remote…. This app has a keyboard you can pull up for that. You can also bring up a scroll pad to move left right or up and down like you do on a laptop mouse pad when you don’t plug in a mouse. It has the volume buttons too for some reason the other Roku remote apps do not have the volume for some dumb reason. The only complaint I can possibly think of is that it won’t connect to my old roku stick in one of the TVs in my house but it is like a second generation stick. The rest of my TVs are all roku TVs and this connects to any of them with lighting speed.

I used to use this remote a lot but now it does not respond to either Roku on any iOS deviceUpdate: It took a while to resolve the issue but it turned out to be a Roku issue rather than an app issue which once discovered by the app developer and reported to me it works great again.

The app is a bit tricky when it comes to typing and navigating within a channel but overall this is great. Our kids lose their remotes often sadly and this is so handy for my husband and I.

Between myself and toddlers I can’t find my remote. This Roku Remote app has the best features and can be used by the week (if your confident you’ll find it!), by the month especially if you’re in the middle of move or have misplaced it before or for the year. This makes subscription easy and reasonably priced. I really like how streamlined it is to use on my phone.
