Ratings and Reviews
Beautiful and feature-packed.
This is the only 3rd party Roku remote on any platform I've found that does private listening. Not only that but the app looks great and has no ads. It also has a bunch of widget options for your desktop so you don't even need to open the app to do anything. Highly recommended if you use your mac while watching your Roku.
Exceptional Response
I have one issue between my app and the tv's... the private listening won't play sound from the computer. But other than that, the app response time between the buttons on the app and the tv is exceptional. Better than anything I've ever tried before. And all the roku apps are instant access. It's the best app of its kind that I've ever tried.
Nice alternative to Roku remote.
Many advantages over thje Roku hand-held remote: Keyboard can be used for search, all apps/channels are visible and directly accessible, doesn't need batteries. A minor problem is that using the handheld remote while Roam is active inactivates keyboard input. Relaunching Roam reactivates keyboard input. Support was great, continues to be actively developed.
