no longer works on my phone. It keeps telling me to update but when I try to it won't let me.
It did not work. I checked tasty it was on the same network but it can not detect my roku device .
I cannot believe that I paid for an app that did not work. I read through the entire information and not once did I see "must have initial remote to use." Not happy at all. It is the principal of the matter.
Basically it's really good except a message saying something like "auto detect failed" whenever I switch between my home screen and the app, it covers some of the controls so it's annoying. If it got fixed I would update my rating to 5*. This connects to my roku stick instantly every time and it looks good. I like the haptic feedback on the keys. Update: crashes when I press 'back' to the home screen every time so I use the home button. Not a big deal but annoying still.
Works great
It did not work. Could not find roku
....if you have the new roku UI update OR dont update if you haven't. This version of remote for roku wont work. I really love this app. 3s for been a previous Pleased user. Update please for 5s. Thanks. update to developer: (by 3s and 5s i mean 3-5 stars)
Don't waste your time.
I was sure it wouldn't work but it did and first try!
Very slow performance when interacting with device. Search was super painful. Going back to Roku's app.
