Ratings and reviews

When the app actually works, i give it a 5☆ review. However, over the past month or so, i have had to uninstall and reinstall the app roughly once per week because it completely stops loading properly and then doesn't work. Uninstalling and reinstalling on a weekly basis doesn't make me terribly happy at all. Please ROKU fix this issue!

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😘

If I were to give this app a letter grade, it would be a C-. The app hasn't really been updated in any meaningful way for a long time, You can't shut off specific notifications, and if you're using remote listening, any sound that plays on your phone will unpause whatever is paused on your TV; similarly, using the microphone (speech to text, for example), It will do the same thing. If I pause a video, walk away, get a text message, and come back, the video will have been playing for however long
