Ratings and reviews

I love this app! I've lost track of my remote too many times and using this app makes it so easy to change the show. The great thing about it is that it will show me on one screen several things to watch on various channels. I can download new apps, read about shows on numerous channels all in one page. Is say the only downfall is that I can't change the volume.

If I use another app, I often have to reconnect the wireless option to use the remote. It is irritating and it happens 98%of the time. Other than that, it would be good, but it is a constant going back to the wireless setting, closing out of the Roku app, and reconnecting is a bother. So much so, I have just been reading a book instead of the constant hassel. I can't surf the way I want to 🤷🏻‍♀️

The app functions. It allows me to use it as a remote for my tv, browse for movies/tv shows. Has a few neat features. However, for the remote function it fails to reconnect after exiting the app. Most of the time it'll say "wireless signal not detected". Meanwhile, I've been connected to the same access point same ssid. Makes no bloody sense why it can't have an option to just reconnect to the tv. Google tv can do it just fine. Roku fix ya app then you'll be 5 star. Aaathank you
