This app is such an amazing advancement into new age technology, with the Bluetooth frequency it’s perfect.
Keeps getting worse
There is no other app on Earth that consistently gets worse and worse with every update. It’s been pitiful watching this app go from a simple fast remote to a laggy overloaded useless pile of junk. It won’t even connect to a device anymore without closing the app and reopening it multiple times. Whoever runs the development team of this SIMPLE app needs a new line of work, they’ve mangled this thing so badly it is completely unusable!
Movie/show Search
Overall a good app but now when I search a movie or show title only 3-4 recommendations get brought up and sometimes don’t even have the same title of what I’m searching. Fix it to how it was, bring up all the title. Even if I have to pay for it on Amazon
EXTREMELY SLOW
It takes a long time to connect mind you I work from home and have no issues on my other devices. Takes forever to pause and play (so frustrating). Don’t even get me started on simply turning on the TV. Do not recommend.
Doesn’t work good
Half of the time it glitches out and when I press the OK button or any other button most of the time it will not work. It takes at least one to two minutes before it follows through with the action.
I Roku U 2 SLEEP.
App isn’t bad. It just needs more skins to liven it up.
Trash
It wont work on bluetooth alone, it needs your wifi traffic to create suggestions and data mine your viewing history. Advertising everywhere.
Good app. Volume ability would be nice.
Good app. Volume ability would be nice
Every year a little worse
Every year the product gets a little worse. The ads get more invasive. The equipment gets less responsive (or breaks entirely). Data gets hacked. App devs get lazy and catty with competing platforms outpacing agnostic ones like Roku. Consumers be wary. In 2025, nothing just works.
doesn’t work well anymore
this app used to work super well but now its super laggy. whenever i go to pause something it doesn’t pause until a minute later, same thing with turning the volume up or down. also when i try to connect it to my tv it takes forever and takes multiple tries to connect it. i’m not sure what happened because this never used to happen. hopefully this can be fixed because im seeing many other people say the same thing
Rouk

Rectify his issues with the remote
I’m having numerous issues with my current Roku remote— including the right arrow on the arrow pad no longer working. This app works perfectly as a remote, and therefore is a great way of rectifying this issue.
Fallas
No se conecta a veces al Roku, cuando se usa con audífonos es intermitente, demora mucho en responder el comando desde la app al Roku y no actualiza los capítulos en donde uno queda como sugerido
Mercado Play
Podrían por favor agregar la app de Mercado Play

Fallas
No funciona Mercado Play para reproducir en el televisor, cosa que si funciona con Googlecast La interfaz de Spotify tiene errores cuando se coloca la letra de una canción, se adelanta la letra versus lo que esta cantando.

Faltan aplicaciones
Por favor incluyan la versión de Movistar TV, Claro TV. Ya que hay mucha limitación con este tipo de aplicaciones. Tema en el que Android les lleva ventaja.

Fallas en el control remoto
Siempre tengo que desinstalar y reinstalar la aplicación para poder conectar mi celular al televisor que ya que al usar la app por una segunda vez me aparece que ocurrió un error y al reinstalarla si me permite conectar. Por favor dar solución pronto.
