## Review summary

Users praise Rokie as a handy remote replacement when the real remote is lost and value its easy setup and convenience. Many say it reduces reliance on the physical remote and works well for basic control. However, most reviews highlight major downsides: pervasive ads in the free version, a subscription-based pricing model with recurring charges, and friction accessing a free tier. Reliability is another issue—reports of TV detection failures, connectivity problems, and intermittent overall not working experiences. A few users note missing features like volume control. Overall, it’s useful when it functions, but cost and consistency are significant drawbacks.

### Pros

- Easy setup and quick connection when the TV is detected.
- Reduces reliance on the real remote, with users saying they don’t use the physical remote anymore.
- Generally positive sentiment when it works, with some reviewers calling it the best app for TV.

### Cons

- Excessive ads in the free version, including interactive ads.
- Subscription-based pricing with recurring charges and difficulty accessing a free tier.
- Reliability and connectivity problems across devices, including failing to connect or detect TVs.
- Missing essential feature: no volume control.
