Alexa can control your roku by linking this app but if you are using the app itself as a remote the pop up adds are heavy and inconvenient like when you are hitting the down button changing channels and it just randomly pops up when you hit the down button again now you're going to that ad kind of stupid if you ask me or genius either way inconvenient for the user. I've only started using it for Alexa and there's still a lot I need to figure out but seems to operate in that capacity.

This app has amazing potential for disabled people. It's a game changer for my daughter, who can't do things with her hands. For the first time ever she can navigate her own tv. Amazing. The trouble is it's not stable and randomly it says it's doing things but then they never happen. Then it starts working again for no known reason. The Google one does the same. When it works it amazing and life changing. I wish there was an iPad version. Having to have a phone makes it more complicated.

this app needs a lot of work. it cuts you off mid sentence, it crashed my Alexa app, it doesn't understand the commands and because of that, I went through my 50 monthly commands very quickly, to enter, I said OK because that's what's on the remote, but the real command is SELECT. One time, asking to enter, turned off my TV even though the TV isn't connected. Once the TV is turned off, the remote skill loses connection to the Roku and takes several minutes to reestablish connection when back on
