User Reviews

The Roku Official App is widely praised for turning your phone into a remote, easy setup, and broad, affordable functionality that works well across rooms and TVs. Repeated drawbacks focus on billing/subscription problems, occasional connectivity issues, and lack of offline/cell data support, with occasional privacy/ad concerns and remote reliability notes.
Pros
  • No remote needed; control Roku from your phone, a lifesaver when the remote is lost.
  • Very user-friendly with easy setup and reliable performance.
  • Convenient for around-the-house use; helps manage multiple TVs and watch on Roku without a physical remote.
  • Affordable with lots of variety and generally few problems.
  • Fast, responsive connections and long-term usefulness across years.
Cons
  • Billing and cancellation issues; users report unexpected charges and difficulty cancelling.
  • Occasional TV connection problems; pairing/connectivity can fail even on the same Wi‑Fi.
  • No cellular data support; the app requires Wi‑Fi and won’t work offline or over cell data.
  • Ads/privacy concerns; some reviews dislike tracking or ads in the app.
  • Hardware/remote reliability concerns; remote batteries drain quickly or don’t work out of the box.

every company that CONTINUOUSLY asks me for a review will be met with a one star review. Every time. So enjoy! roku is also sending screenshots of anything you watch on your tv, and sells that data to advertisers and big data. You are automatically OPTED IN, you must go to the settings and make sure you opt out of everything.

This works JUST as good, if not better than the remote bc I can type directly from phone when “searching” for a show.
