Quick Tips:
• Most problems connecting to your Roku can be resolved by simply reinstalling RoByte.
• RoByte can only connect if you are on the same wifi network as your Roku device.
In order for RoByte to talk to your Roku, the following must be true:
1. Your Roku must be connected to your home's wifi network.
2. Your iPhone or iPad's wifi must be turned on and connected to the same network as the Roku.
In most cases, RoByte will automatically scan and find your Roku device but there is a small case where if you have a more complicated setup, you may need to manually enter your Roku's IP address to connect.
If you're still unable to connect to your Roku, theres a good chance there's an issue somewhere within your network. Most common cases are Roku devices getting disconnected from your home wifi if it gets unplugged. You can also try reinstalling RoByte to do a fresh scan.

Ratings and Reviews
Great if your kid loses the remote!
This app has saved my sanity SO many times. I've literally gotten to the point where I have to tether the remotes to something to avoid one of my kids losing them. Well, they also know how to un-tether them. So when that happens, not often thank goodness, I can still work the TV's with this app until the remote is found.
It's also been good for a chuckle a time or two. I've used it to change channels and pause the tv when someone is watching. They think the TV is possessed or something. LOL! But always good to stop before they start to get mad. 🤪
Developer Response ,
Lol! thank you for the fun and kind review. I am glad our app has been so helpful for you!
Disappointed
I was convinced to purchase pro because I thought it would be an awesome upgrade. What I didn’t know is that the volume wouldn’t work even though my roku supports it. Also, if my family uses it, they have to purchase the upgrades themselves, which I can almost understand but it was not clear before the purchase. Further,if I want it on my iPad, I have to purchase the upgrades again, this I can not understand since it is my own device and I have already paid for the upgrades. By far the most disappointing aspect is the difficulty in finding away to contact support. Perhaps some of my issues are fixable however the only way I could find to contact support was through a review. No contact info on the App Store and if you click on app support you get a website with only basic information and still no way to contact the developer. Hopefully we can all get some support and information moving forward.
⚡️Great⚡️
Worked with my tv and is great if you don’t have a remote or lost it 😶but anyways I would recommend it to everyone. O and a little tip if it doesn’t work its either you the tv or you don’t even have a Roku device at all. Sooooooo don’t get mad at the app 👍
And just one last thing if you lost your remote like me. Haha never mind that I ment to say if you lose your Roku remote *not like me because I never lost it😉* then this app will do. JUST MAKE SURE YOU DONT LOSE YOUR PHONE I mean I totally didn’t but just saying. 👍👍👍
Well keep safe and stay healthy see ya.
