User Reviews

Many reviews indicate the app connects to Roku and can function as a remote, but the core widget feature is repeatedly absent or non-functional. Users report crashes and widget registration problems across devices and OS versions, plus intrusive ads and perceived misrepresentation of widget availability. A few reviewers still find it useful for remote control, but widget reliability drives most dissatisfaction.

Pros

Works as a Roku remote.
Can connect to Roku devices.
Some users find the app useful or have a positive experience using it.

Cons

Widget is missing or non-functional despite the app title (no home screen/widget and/or no widget working across multiple devices).
Intrusive or excessive ads.
Reliability issues including crashes when loading shortcuts and widget registration problems on certain OS versions (e.g., iOS 15.3).
Widget misrepresentation/false advertising about having a widget.

Connected to my Roku- Have the widget and all but it doesn’t work at all. I’m connected but nothing is working I’m just slamming buttons and getting zero results. Not even working on the 3 other household Roku’s. Waste of time.
