★★★★ Dreki Baldwin 6/23/2026

★★★★ Anthony Benjamin 5/29/2026 v1.4.6
this remote give to much trouble to work on my Roku stick, it's not worth paying for, I would rather unsubcribe and go without watching TV until I replace the one I broke. wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
★★★★ Terry Daniell 5/29/2026 v1.4.6

literal trash. doesn't even work on rocky onn tvs. waste of money. DO NOT BUY.
★★★★ Cars 5/25/2026 v1.4.6
Not free. I'm not paying roku more after spending hundreds on a TV just to turn down the freaking volume are you kidding me
★★★★ NeishOna 5/24/2026 v1.4.6
This app is wack! You should be able to turn your TV on without keep going back to advanced settings every time you turn off your TV! And now my TV isn't registered on the remote anymore! Now I have to figure out how to do that because my TV was registered on the app last night!
★★★★ Brian Walker 5/24/2026 v1.4.6

★★★★ Allan. O.N 5/22/2026 v1.4.6
IT DOESN'T GIVE YOU AN OPTION TO CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION.
★★★★ Sonja 5/21/2026
Having to pay to change volume is absolutely stupid, like I'm sorry my roku remote is so old, it can only change volume, FOR PLUGGED IN HEADPHONES. My tv also has no regular remote, because this LG tv is 2 decades old 😭. This is absolutely retarded I have to pay a subscription to even dare change my volume, screw this bro. -5 stars if I could
★★★★ Michael Brown 5/21/2026 v1.4.6
it sucks
★★★★ Rhiannon Ellis Evans 5/18/2026 v1.4.6
I didn't put this app on my phone. I haven't given permission to anyone for a subscription or fees. I don't need it, doesn't work properly anyway. How do I make sure I won't get charged?
★★★★ Tyson “Tyson” Mclean 5/18/2026 v1.4.6
imagine paying for full access to a company that has literally nothing to do with roku, blame roku for not having the option
★★★★ Barbara N 5/17/2026 v1.4.6
hard to configure to Roku premier. keeps trying to pair with the Roku TV we have with no other options
★★★★ Fawn Larsen 5/17/2026 v1.4.6
I downloaded and got the free trail but had to upload my credit card information just to find out i needed the real roku remote to access the home screen and allow digital devices. I had no remote and that's why I got the app. NOW there is no where for me to cancel my subscription and no one is answering my emails!!! do not use!!
★★★★ Alan Hamblin 5/16/2026 v1.4.6
total scam avoid
