Problems with last update. I’ve been using this app for almost 2 years with no problems. Now the bottom menu is too touchy. I’ll use the remote and go to put my phone down – and my TV switches to another input or streaming service. It happens multiple times a day. I’m going to be […]

Only app that works. All the others can’t find my TV when I’m standing in front of it. The only downside is that it takes a long time to load and connect to tv. Works only once. when you go back to the app after using it, it doesn’t work. has to be reloaded every […]
Unusable. The app crashes on startup regardless of which device I have it installed on (iPhone, Galaxy). The solution is to reinstall the app. Once you’ve signed back in, you can use the app freely until you need to do anything else with your phone. If you relaunch the app it crashes.
Was 5 star. now App closes as soon as it opens. I restarted the phone. I deleted the app and reinstalled it. I deleted cache and data numerous times. internet is working for all other home devices. the roku device is working also. the app is not working. it opens up long enough to load, […]
The roku app works just great EXCEPT for the remote. It’s been changed from using the arrow “buttons” that coordinate with the actual remote to using “motion”, the direction sensitive motion, you move ur finger on a pad. This has NEVER worked correctly any and every time we have tried to use it. I WILL […]
this used to be great. I used this for the remote function. over the past 2 months all my devices are no longer I nger found in the app. I went to school for computers and can ensure you that my devices are not only connected to the internet and powered on. but are also […]
The app desperately needs to have Roku TV’s “Input Source Menu” /”Power Button Menu” gain an option to make itself discoverable to this app to take control of the TV when the remote is lost. I should be able to use this app until I find my remote, wait on a new one to ship, […]
I’ve not had any issues with the app other than an occasional inability to connect to one of my devices. However now my private listening isn’t working which we really depend on since one of us works early in the morning and one is a night owl. I know how to troubleshoot a tech issue […]
great when it works, me and my husband have the same phone, and his remote always works, but mine doesn’t. I have to restart my phone every time. it crashes, and stalls won’t work. I’ve updated it and everything. It’s annoying to restart my phone every time to use it. I’ve closed apps cleared cache. […]
I really only use this for the remote, which is what I’m making a review about. My partner has an iPhone, I have a Samsung, and since having this TV, I’ve laughed that his app doesn’t have a power button to turn the TV on and off. (For whatever reason, our actual remote doesn’t work […]
for this app to be a 4.5 star rating thus app did to be update. I’m still having some technical difficulties far as me using this app trying to connect my. then Roku TV app it still not working, ” like, what is going on. With this app. it keeps stating that it can’t find […]
This app hasn’t worked for years. I mainly use it as a remote for our TV, but it can’t connect anymore. I tried uninstalling the app, entering the IP address, made sure mobile app control was enabled and that both devices were on the same WiFi network, restarted both devices, unplugged the TV and plugged […]
I used to love using the app as a remote in bed, or to watch content from the Roku channel on mobile occasionally. Since the last update, the app is super glitchy. Roku also updated their TOS to turbo charge their spyware that mines & sells your data. The update to the makes ads & […]
Roku players are the worst. They disconnect several times a week. Very frustrating. Watching something and then it disconnects. WIFI has excellent signal but it can’t connect to the network. It says to move the player around when it is an inch away from the router. The 2nd player is 15ft away. Come on. I […]
I don’t care for my Roku TV that much. I find that its glitchy and some apps like HBO for example, do not work well on it at all. While those apps work perfectly fine on the other TVs in our house. Even our TVs that are furthest from the router perform faster and with […]
Kinda worthless for headphones because the sound keeps dropping out. If you can manage to get it connected to your Roku tv (and that is not a given) you’ll listen for a few minutes and then the sound will drop like a stone in the headphone connection for four or five seconds at a time. […]
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 […]
Issues watching on your mobile device. Will go through part of a show and after the commercial break will start from the beginning. If you try to fast forward to resume where you left off, you have to go through the commercials again and it still takes you right back to the beginning. Have tried […]
useless at worst, unoptimal at best. I tried connecting to my TV and it didn’t show up. Then Itried to do it manually by IP address—nothing. It took 20-30 minutes of restarting my phone and my TV, unpliggimg my router, reconnecting everything, then searching for devices again. eventually it worked for a while, but had […]
the TV and movie experience isn’t bad, lots of ads. as far as their new Howdy goes, paying the 2.99 gets those ads removed, but don’t think its completely ad free as howdy advertised. movie & TV shows still have plenty of Roku’s ads. all ads for roku based programming. if you want to run […]
