User reviews

Users find the app a helpful and easy-to-use Roku remote replacement with features like larger buttons and device memory. It generally functions better than original remotes and connects via WiFi effectively. However, multiple users report recent connectivity issues post-update, inability to power TV on/off, and difficulty linking to devices. Some dislike the interface opening on service options and presence of ads. Overall, despite minor flaws, the app is appreciated as a practical solution when original remotes are unavailable.

Easy to use with larger buttons suitable for users with large fingers.

Cons

Recent updates causing connection issues with Roku devices over the same WiFi network.

The app opens to service options screen rather than traditional control panel, which some users dislike.
Presence of pop-up ads detracting from user experience.
