User Reviews

Users appreciate that Quick Remote for Alexa & Roku provides voice control for Roku devices through Alexa and benefits those with limited mobility. However, many report instability issues, excessive ads in the free version, and a restrictive 50-command monthly limit. The app often fails to find devices, crashes frequently, and Alexa commands are unreliable, particularly for turning the TV on/off or changing volume. While some find the subscription reasonable and enjoy reduced remote clutter, overall the app needs significant improvements to its stability, usability, and transparency about limits.

Pros

Enables voice control of Roku TV through Alexa, allowing launching apps like Hulu and Netflix.
Beneficial for people with limited mobility or disabilities by enabling hands-free TV navigation.
Allows control of basic functions such as up, down, left, right, select, pause, and play commands.
Subscription price is considered reasonable by some users compared to the app's functionality.
The app consolidates multiple remotes into one, simplifying TV and device management for some users.

Cons

App is unstable and often fails to execute voice commands, with random errors and crashes.
Free version severely limits users to 50 commands per month, which depletes quickly especially due to failed commands counting against the limit.
Excessive and intrusive ads in the free version, including pop-ups after nearly every action, are a major frustration.
The app frequently crashes when selecting devices or attempting to save settings, and does not reliably locate Roku devices.
Alexa voice control is inconsistent—commands often do not work, like changing volume or turning the TV on, and the app lacks some expected features like a power button or app-specific commands.

I've been a paying user since 2018, the app worked great for me for years to control my Roku TV via voice and Alexa. About 6 weeks ago it started throwing errors on an intermittent basis then completely stopped working about 4 weeks ago. I have reached out to support and sadly no response
