The Roku App (Official)

This is by far the best roku remote app. BY FAR. I can't give it 5 stars though, because it often wont open. I have to uninstall and reinstall like twice a week. It always works for a couple days, then boom... nothing. I've tried ALL the other apps but they're complete garbage, if you could fix whatever problem causes this, that would be great, but it's totally not a deal breaker, as its the ONLY app of its kind that works at all.

App works well with my TV. I usually watch the TV daily with headphones so I don't disturb my wife. I have to route my headphones through the phone app instead of the TV as there is no direct Bluetooth option. The only thing I HATE, if I'm listening to the TV with my headphones and have to pause my show to do something (bathroom, take dog out, etc.), any alert that comes in my phone unpauses it. This is very annoying and I always have to rewind. Please fix this automatic unpausing. Thank You!

I love the fact that I can use the Roku remote app on my phone to control all of my Roku TVs. It works well for the most part. What I don't like is the new center area where the arrows that make the cursor move up and down and left and right are gone and now there is a big purple block that I have to tap at the top, bottom, on the left side or the right side of it to move the cursor. It's not as easy to hit the correct area as it was when there was an actual arrow that showed where to tap.

Changing my review to say the app works much better now. Went from not working at all to working consistently. only took them a long while lol. Im very thankful for it (when it's working properly) because evidently my household can keep track of a single remote. I can't even find the remote I just bought. It's still in the box🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️. So I, and other family members can use the app as a remote when needed! Thank you roku😘

useless at worst, unoptimal at best. I tried connecting to my TV and it didn't show up. Then Itried to do it manually by IP address—nothing. It took 20-30 minutes of restarting my phone and my TV, unpliggimg my router, reconnecting everything, then searching for devices again. eventually it worked for a while, but had a couple seconds of latency for every input. then it disconnected and I couldn't find my device again. I spent more time trying to use the app than actually using it.
