Widget is in the title

Widget is the title of the app and yet, no widget. I truly thought this was the answer and now after seeing reviews from 3 years ago citing the same shortcoming, I have removed the app. I nearly bought it because I want to use the widget on my lock screen. These are not the widgets you’re looking for.

Functional, but missing a widget

Works as a roku remote, but at least on iOS 15.3 it doesn't seem to register a widget, so there's no reason to use this over the official roku app. Would be 5 stars if there was actually a widget, but its kinda pointless without it.
