User Reviews

Users find the app easy to set up and affordable but overwhelmingly criticize it for requiring the phone app to be open for the watch app to work, making it redundant. The very short 5-minute trial frustrates users, alongside frequent ads and connection errors. Compatibility issues, especially with smartwatches, reduce usability. Although a few find it adequate after purchase, the majority consider the app unreliable and inferior to official Roku options.

Pros

Easy and quick to set up on supported devices.
Low price point ($2) considered reasonable by some users.
Works satisfactorily when phone app is active and trial is bypassed.

Cons

Requires phone app to be active for watch functionality, making watch app redundant.
Only a 5-minute free trial before payment is required, considered insufficient by many.
Frequent ads interrupt user experience, even on paid versions or phone.
App often reports connection errors and inconsistent performance.
Watch app compatibility issues, including not working on certain devices like smartwatches.

it really sucks I bought this app and I want to reinstall it and also and it says it's not compatible after I already had used it in the past it's not a very well-written app in the first place I don't think the guy knows how to program.

Super lame 5 MINUTE trial before you have to upgrade for money or keep restarting the app. Greedy greedy greedy. This app will tank and deservedly so. RIDICULOUS. Absolutely ridiculous.
