Ratings and reviews

6/19/24 ;I don't understand the high reviews of the app. I feel there are false reviews here. Seriously the most awful glitchy app i've ever use. When it works, it's good. Another thing, The sound and The headphones glitches at least every 30 minutes.. So disappointed since that is the main reason I subscribed. That said, the app stalls, disconnects, the sound will get static and then just disappear, the app needs to be reloaded. Just some of the things I've experienced in 2 days use.

Horrible. Used to work ok. I use for Bluetooth audio connection late at night. It randomly disconnects then won't reconnect to the stick Model 3600X. Have uninstalled/reinstalled app. Updated. Re-booted wifi, phone, and Roku stick. Nothing works. Used to be a pretty good app. Now it's total trash... I give up.

It works well except for the fact you have to connect to your Roku each time you look away from your phone (no joke, it happens that often). I don't know why they haven't enabled some kind of persistent connection. I could understand needing to connect each time you launch the app but it should stay connected as long as the app is open. That issue and the default page being a list of featured apps instead of the remote makes it feel more like a way to advertise to you as opposed to a remote app.
