An editorial reading of the saved reviews
A remote control app for Roku TVs that lets you control the device from your phone when the physical remote is lost or unavailable. Recent updates have increased connection drops, and the interface now includes ads that were not there before.

5 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
Haven't had a remote for the past year. This has kept me sane.
The remote keeps disconnecting a lottt but I still like Roku as a whole
Loved this app before the latest update. Was actually planning on leaving a five star review originally. Now, they've added ads to the app AND I have to manually reconnect it my TV every time I open the app. Why?
It will say my phone is connected got the tv but when I press any button nothing happens and it's been like this for MONTHS
I get to use my tv when I can't find my remote
