Ratings and reviews

The "free trial" wants $20 on faith that this isn't just another in a huge lineup of scam apps. If you want MORE than a physical remote costs you might want to demonstrate that it works amazingly well before holding your hand out. Totally sus. UPDATE: just returned from Family Dollar where $6.95 got me a remote that works. I could have spent $20 on an app that proved that it worked for a couple of days before asking for such a large amount with zero hardware outlay, no shipping, etc.

It stopped connecting even after it just reconnected I know my TV isn't the problem buts the app. This is because the gosh darn device has been on for about 30 seconds same as my phone the app won't connect I've Uninstaller and reinstalled and it's still not working. My dog broke my remote so I thought "I've had this app for years it should still work" and then I open it the next day after and it says "could not connect" there were no power interruptions or nothing and still now its not working.

Best Roku app out there! I tried one that played an ad after each button was pressed (within a very short lapse), and the "official" Roku remote app disconnected from my Roku device everytime I left the app (including when my phone would go to "sleep" mode after you leave it for a while). I will say though, this was the first app I tried and not having the keyboard is what made me try the other apps, but I came back, full circle, only to be in LOVE with this app!
