Rokie - Remote for Roku Player Positive Reviews
My son with autism can use this appI want to say this to anyone who will read this I am so so EXTREMELY!!!!!happy that this Roku remote application was created.. my disabled son(autistic 26 year old) had an extremely bad day a couple weeks back and he couldn’t get the remote to his Roku to cooperate...so what does my wonderful understanding loving son do he throws the Roku remote at his television.. well the television survived the remote did not. Afterward I explained to him that the remote was not fixable well he was very upset with himself and the inability to use the Roku in his bedroom.. so What does any mom do when she sees her sons heart breaking I went online to buy a new remote well what I found was that for the price of a new remote I might as well get him a new Roku or an inexpensive Roku I knew he would not be happy with a new one because it would not be his Roku and my sone he does not do well with changes in his life. so Later that day I went through the apple store Applications just to see if There was anything and I mean anything i could use for this unusable device (at this moment it was unusable because I would not give him the remote to my Roku) Well to my surprise I found a Roku remote application. I was so extremely happy I think I actually cried because the thought that I could download the remote onto his cell phone and I knew that’s remote issue like this wouldn’t happen again because not only does he carry his cell everywhere he has never scratched dented or dropped his cell so I knew this was going to be a great thing. so I downloaded the Application I showed him how to use the app ( it took about an hour or two)(as David Bowie and I both said before CHANGES!!!!) and after teaching my son how to use the phone remote we’ve not had a Single issue of throwing the cell phone (ie.. Roku remote)..so what I want to say to everyone involved with the creation of this application a huge thank you not only have you all saved the day but you saved my pocketbook.. Yours Truly, Tiffany Lee Buckner.Version: 1.4.1
InfusionsThis is to much money and there are infusions and people need to take care off bills and other things so I do use the app but I might go to a different app because of the money please lower or get rid of the prices or other people will leave and so will I 👎this is bad because I have things I have to pay for and I shouldn’t have to pay money go a remote to be able to watch TV like that’s very sad. I shouldn’t have to do that and I don’t wanna have to do that. That’s just wasting too much money on something that I can do when I can watch TV like you’re basically charging me for buying a remote, but I’m downloading it and I’m using it so there shouldn’t be a problem. I just don’t understand why these apps keep setting up prices. This is why I put a three star and next time I might put a one star because you guys need to fix this this is unacceptable like apps making us spend our money and we don’t then they get mad and do these things with the app because we’re not getting the money up. You can’t take our money because you want you can’t take your money because you’re broke. We have to do things too..Version: 1.6.5
Roku Why &Why not:II have had a few Roku devices over the last few years . Originally I found the products reliable and user friendly and when I had issues customer service was a phone call and a five minute fix. Now days it seems things have changed, for example: if you have need for technical support, you will not find a phone number for tech-support, in fact, you will end up on the website with a technical chat advisor and before they connect you with someone that can”help” you with your technical issues you will have to provide payment information. I believe that Roku has gotten a bit greedy and buyers need to be where purchasing their television sets might limit your freedom of choice when it comes to streaming outside of your Roku subscription, which the way things are going, they’re almost pressuring you to have to use your new TV. The price for their large flat screens TV is awesome, but the catch is if you have an issue, you’re going to have to pay in order to figure it out, unless you happen to be savvy enough on your own.Version: 1.6.2
RokuThis app is very good, but after you use it for a while, I don’t know if this is just for my phone, but it stopped working as good as it used to and it wouldn’t let me use the app. It would just say you need to be connected to Wi-Fi, but I already had my full bars and if you don’t know, what bars are there are the little things at the top of your screen that tell you how much your app has battery and it was working I was connected to the Internet and it would still say you need to come close to your TV I put my phone directly on the TV not just close on the TV and it still wouldn’t work so I’m still trying to get the word that the app to work but if this happens to you guys too make sure that you delete the app and read download it because that’s the best way it’s been working for me but yeah overall it’s a pretty good app. It’s just lag sometimes so you just need to be flexible with this app💖.Version: 1.7.11
GreatThis is great because it helps work the tv if you can’t find the remote or if your remote is Broken one thing I don’t like is the adds every time I’m typing things a add just pops up even if it’s a add on the tv but there are many more things about this app the premium is a little cheap it usually works on my brother tv because his remote broke after someone bent the top of it I hop it gets some updates soon so they can take the adds off so me and my sister won’t get mad all the time that is the only reason I put a four at rate I really hope that everybody gets this app if they lost there remote or broke it it would be a good app I looked and looked for apps until I found it I was so happy thanks again Roku I love this app just pls take the adds off it’a remote pls thanks a lot a just love the app tho I just want you guys to know what I’m trying to say to the people that one day uses this app and love it.Version: 1.6.2
It’s Good, But…The app works well, and doesn’t require money just to control your TV unlike other apps. And to be honest, you really don’t need to pay for the premium remote unless you really hate ads, want to immediately go to an app, or use the touchpad or keyboard. But that’s my problem actually. When you press just a couple of buttons, there’s always an ad. Also, I think there should be more offers for the premium remote like voice commands (but this could also just be built-in), but there’s also been complains about it saying how people haven’t received the premium benefits. Anyways, that’s all. Other than that, it’s a worthy download if you don’t have a remote or want an extra one that’s virtual, easily one of the best Roku remote apps besides there being constant ads.Version: 1.7.8
Device rename feature??I love this app, it’s so smooth (I actually can’t recall it ever skipping or glitching or anything like that) and convenient... I paid for no ads and I have 0 regrets since doing so. However, I think it would be fantastic to have the ability to rename the different Roku devices connected to the same WiFi network as my phone... For instance, there are 3 different Roku Expresses at my home and it’s a mildly inconvenient guessing game until I land on the Express I’m looking for - sort of just trial and error. I’ve tried searching this app for such a feature but haven’t been able to locate it anywhere, so if there’s one thing I could improve about Rokie, I’d implement an option to rename the different devices connected to the WiFi network that one is aiming to connect to from his/her phone.Version: 1.4.1
TCL VS OTHERSI purchased a high dollar tv at one of the big box retail stores, when I got it home it didn’t work and you had to be a rocket scientist to operate the remote. After several hours of confusion and not knowing what to do with it, I boxed it up and took it back to point of purchase. While there I bought the same size tv a TCL brand, which they tell me is a off brand. I had out the box and hung on the wall in minutes. It has the user friendliest remote I’ve ever encountered and with a 4K UHD set, every picture is crisp, clear and just a joy to watch. If I’m the market for a new tv I highly recommend the TCL brand. You will not be disappointed. RTJ..Version: 1.4.1
Area to ImproveDownloaded this like most others after breaking my original remote. After first downloading for free I found it quickly necessary to purchase the app because using your remote to change the channel from an advertisement, just to get another advertisement on your remote was quite annoying. The $2.00 purchase was definitely worth it. The digital remote works even better due to the fact that I now have a keyboard to type into rather than selecting characters individually. I have no issues with the remote at all, but the app would get an INSTANT FIVE STAR RATING [IF] every time you clicked a button your phone would give you haptic feedback. It’s very difficult to know what you’re pressing without getting a little vibration. Please Rokie developers, a haptic feedback option for control inputs would be highly appreciated. Thank you!.Version: 1.4.1
Barely better than a real remoteI got the app as a replacement for the remote because, hey I can type on my phone! This would make searching so much easier. At least that’s what I thought… The app doesn’t quite work like that. It does give a keyboard feature but when you try to use it it doesn’t actually interface with the TV... so you still have to type by pressing left right up down select left right up down if you want a basic search. It’s harder to lose the app then the remote which is about the only bonus. I hope they improve it, otherwise I wouldn’t recommend anybody invest real money in this..Version: 1.4.1
Restoring purchasesOkay so the remote is awesome. But I’m not going allow you to keep making money off me. I originally purchased on my old phone. Got a new one, restored all my apps, and yours wouldn’t restore my purchase. Oh well. I paid for it again because of how awesome it works. But I open it today and literally ad after ad it’s almost unusable. And again, your ‘Restore Purchase’ button still does not work. Your not getting another $1.99 from me. I wonder how many others you’ve done this too. Seems like a scam to me. Don’t let the app milk you for money. For 9.99 you can replace your Roku remote and not have your phone in your hand all the time..Version: 1.4.2
You are a good Ryukyu divisorI kind of wish they were no ads the other one shot add had an ad before you even started to use it yours is the so I give you five star rating I would’ve give you three if you were with if you’re working with the other workers but you’re not so I’ll give you five you are lucky if you can reply back please do I always like reading things I don’t know why and I want to see your sponsors so respond or else I’ll give you a five star I will not give you a five star I will give you our one star rating but if you can’t I understand.Version: 1.5.11
Lifesaver but suggestionsThe roku remote on the phone comes in clutch if you loose your actual roku remote. I cannot tell you how many times I have had to use the roku remote on the phone because I lost my remote, and each time it works great, never laggy, and connects right away. I do have a suggestion though. Sometimes, wifi likes to go out which in turn goes out on the roku. Unfortunately, if you don’t have your roku remote, you cannot use the roku app as it needs a wifi to connect. I hope there is someway you guys can make an update where it can still connect to your roku without needing the wifi..Version: 1.6.3
Works great…..except one minor and slightly Annoying thingThe Roku app remote works EXCELLENT, comes in very handy when I can’t find the remote, and/or when the remote is across the room and I’m feeling very lazy, but my phone is with in reach and I can Just open the Roku remote app , it works just like the normal remote EXCEPT ONE THING…. The ADS that pop up like when you’re using the App, I mean it’s not a HUGE deal, if I could give 4.5 stars I would cuz I don’t think just cuz 1 tiny inconvenience deserves 4/5…. So over all I give this app a 4.5/5, without the ads popping up, HANDS DOWN A 5/5.Version: 1.5.12
The BEST app on my phone lolI have a Teen and 2 toddlers, and until recently, the regular Roku remote was always missing. That’s the reason I downloaded this app. Upgrading to Premium was hands down the best decision ever. Being able to change apps, even when not in the room or from across the house has come in handy soooo many times. The fact that you can also change devices super quickly is also a huge plus. 🙏🏽🎉 I am forever grateful for this app, and have used it more than Social Media in the year that I have had it..Version: 1.5.12
RokuI love this that can help me a lot when I can’t find or don’t have my remote and then I can just go to what app that is on my tv and don’t have to go looking for it also I like how you don’t have to manual put in your tv when you can just connect your tv to your phone and who ever made this is a Genius and idk about y’all but this helps me out a lot. ( a lil tip y’all just buy a tracker in here so then we know where to find our remote if we can’t use y’all) have a nice day and I wish u more success. From Jaden Pearson To Roku..Version: 1.5.12
Works but QuestionableYes when you get down to it, it works as it should. It doesn’t bug out. The buttons work properly. It has all the functionality of a remote. It’s the advertisements that are the problem. Now ad’s on their own are annoying, but not necessarily an issue. My problem is the advertisements impede the functionality of the remote. Randomly two 5 second adds will play, taking up the entire screen, rendering the app entirely useless until you close out of them. Yes, upgrading to remove them is far lower in cost then replacing the remote. However, it’s very sneaky to design the app in a way the renders it completely useless for random intervals unless you upgrade..Version: 1.4.1
Good but has 1 major flawThe app does work and it works well, it’s fast, very responsive and has the major functions you would expect from a real remote. My biggest complaint about the app is the ads, you’ll be in the middle of changing channels or volume and you’ll get a ad pop up on your phone, so you have to stop what you’re doing and wait till you can skip the ad or wait till it plays through. It’s super frustrating and you can’t get rid of ads either, the in app purchases is not a one time purchase and it only adds features to the virtual remote and removing ads isn’t one of those features..Version: 1.6.5
Simoyah reviewI love the remote controller for off my phone to the TV is so cool but the apps on it wouldn’t work. I read a three star because you know it’s not like you know it doesn’t work or anything. It just doesn’t work perfectly but for anything else like for me like turning it up or turning it down or you know pausing it and if I can’t find where I’m remote controller I always hop onto this like right now. I don’t have my remote controller My BrotherMy Brother keep losing it and you know every time we find it he loses it so you know this is why I downloaded the remote control but it doesn’t work often. It doesn’t work amazingly and I love it..Version: 1.6.2
✨amazing ✨You should really buy this app because like if you lost your remote or if it’s like a batteries or something this can work and it’s just an amazing app and I really love it and it actually makes cleaning fun for some reason but the only problem is if you press it like a one or two buttons or maybe even three like an ad pops up and then when you press like the skip button it just it’s just so little that like it just takes you to the download this app today and it’s so annoying but otherwise this is an amazing app and like you should download it..Version: 1.5.11
Why it will no work??? :(I was trying to play spider man 2 but we could not find the remote so I opened my app that one the Rokie - Roku remote I look for the thingy to connect the remote to the T.V. I looked for it but it was only 2 options but there was 5 when I got the app for the first time you guys for to do some work about this and the ads and the thing when you click to connect the remote to the tv this thing you have to pay for it 2 star. I do like it though :).Version: 1.6.3
Ad galoreThis app works as it’s described and works in a pinch if you can’t find your remote. However, if you don’t pay for the premium version the amount of ads you will get that you can’t click off of until time has elapsed is truly egregious. You could be in the middle of trying to pause something or fast forward and it will give you a 10 second ad out of nowhere with a hard to find close button. This of course isn’t the worse thing in the world however it is mildly infuriating and now holds almost no value as Roku has made its own completely free app..Version: 1.6.2
Needs a little improvementThe app is good, but a few problems I don’t like. The ads in this app are a lot, and I encounter atleast 3 every 4 minutes. They really annoy me, as at the last second they start and I miss the show. The bugs make me lag out the app. This happens recently, if it is just me or everyone else. This app is overall great! Would’ve been actually a five star if these get worked on. (You only have to lower number of ads for the advertisements one.) This app helps when I lose a remote or don’t have one. Very good!.Version: 1.5.12
Why this is the bestSo one day you come home really tired and you were trying to watch some TV you have a Roku and you can’t find the remote and you’re freaking out that you’re gonna have to go buy a new one. This is when this app comes in handy, all you need to do is download the app and hook it up to your device so when you lose your controller you can always use your phone but remember to charge your phone or else it will not come in handy.Version: 1.6
Roku remote control app 10 ✨sI think it’s awesome to be able to download the Roku remote control on the phone at my house the remote control is always missing and is found in the most inconvenient places that takes anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to locate the remote control and now I can just sit back and turn right to the movie I want to see without missing anything so 10 stars for the Roku remote control app on my cell phone get yours.Version: 1.6.2
The gosh darn adsOk I will give it some credit because it works and I have a Roku tv. But the ads got the better of me! Every minute when I turn an ads just pops up! And the fact you have to pay to go to apps and type with your keypad is really stupid. They need to remove the adds because it’s getting annoying. And also remove those thing where you have to pay to do other stuff! I suggest you don’t download this game!.Version: 1.6.3
Not consistentIt seems like if I stop using the remote for prolonged use, I can’t reconnect without having to turn the tv on to make it discoverable...which defeats the purpose of being able to turn it on and off with the app. I also paid the 1.99 to remove ads, but when I went to try the app on my ipad which syncs all apps (the app downloaded to my ipad when I downloaded it to my iphone); it asks for another 1.99 to remove ads and restoring my purchases didn’t work. Would appreciate these functions working because the remote is so tiny and often disappears when i’m laying in bed. When it does work, it’s great..Version: 1.4.1
Pretty goodIt did not let me four star it but there shouldn’t be adds otherwise it AMAZING it works great and I like how it doesn’t cost money I really needed this app because my remote started to quit working we tried every thing so my mom was like try downloading something I looked it up and read the reviews downloaded it and started I liked it and it asked me to rate it in everything so I did and boom here I am now on the couch rating it well back to Harry Potter bye.Version: 1.5.11
Enter Channel numbersI really like my Roku television the only thing that I really wish I could change is that I would love the opportunity to be able to enter channel numbers directly the Roku that’s not a login to do that that’s pretty frustrating so that means I have to go through the channels up and down, and nowadays they’re over Schucks like over 1000 channelsit takes forever. It takes forever to move through the channels..Version: 1.6.2
Problems.The app is really good but there is a problem that i would like to talk about. So when i open the app and i try to like connect to my tv sometimes my tv doesn’t connect or show up for me to connect to it, and another problem is that when i click on my tv or something like that it show me something for premium and when i click the x it takes me back to where you can connect to the tvs and it’s a really big problem especially bcs i don’t need premium. But if yall could gix this problem the would be really good and amazing!.Version: 1.6
Why so many adsI don’t like how this ad had so many ads after pressing three buttons also everything was premium and that was very boring but besides that all the app actually works for my TV and that’s a good thing, but I really don’t like how there’s so many ads. I have to keep exiting out the app and it’s kind of annoying how there are so many ads. For the most part this app works and it is not slow..Version: 1.6.3
Insane amount of adsSomeone figured out that the Roku remotes were flimsy and they made this app to help people, however, the creators of this app are greedy and money hungry. This app has an add every single time you use it. I mean every single time. Multiple 5 seconds required until you can exit the ads. These also hit you in a row. I wish the creators were better people and didn’t put so so many ads to make money off people. I appreciate the rest just the ads are actually crazy like more than any other app I’ve ever had, almost as many ads as one of those movie bootleg websites..Version: 1.4.1
Love this appThis app is so good like I can control my TV from the back of my house to the front of my house and my TV is in the back of my house and like the front of my house is like all the way in front yeah and so I need to I need to like expire expire nothing about this because this is the best app I’ve ever been on in my whole life like I have like a Candy Maker like all of that and I am 18 and I really really like this app because like it’s like you have a remote but you don’t say with my mom she lost her remote..Version: 1.4.1
Get this app if you can’t find your remoteThis app is absolutely awesome! I have no complaints at all and I lose my remote ALL THE TIME and if I lose it and I can’t find it I go directly to this. It’s super easy to setup the only thing you have to do is connect it to your device! That’s it! After that you’re good to go! It works amazingly and it’s not delayed either! If you can’t find your remote then go straight to this app it works just as well! I have no complaints what so ever!.Version: 1.4.1
Ads at the worst timesThis app is useful because my actual, physical remote just vanished one day. However, anytime I’m in the middle of doing things a video ad will pop up. I eventually got so frustrated I was given a choice: never use my roku or buy the ad free version. After continuously messing up Bandersnatch trying to use this app with ads, I gave in and just paid the $2. The ads are seriously infuriating. But the app works well enough. So, 4/5. And please for the love of god just make banner ads instead of pop ups and videos..Version: 1.4
Really goodI love this app! I don’t really like how ads just pop up when you’re trying to press something, but overall it’s really good!.Version: 1.4
WhyWhy ads? Yea More money. But isnt this for more customer satisfaction? Seriously this makes you guys look bad.the app is cool but would be much better without ads.Version: 1.3.4
