Remote for Roku - RoByte

I've used this app for a long time now, and I absolutely love it. So much less annoying than Roku's official app. My only complaint is that the dev removed the landscape mode. Since I have a long phone that only sits sideways, I miss that feature.

This is the best Roku remote I have found thus far. It does still need a little tweeking though. It does not recognize my Roku Stick nor my TCL Roku TV (but they do connect manually) and the one thing lacking from ALL of the Roku apps except the official; does not control the volume or wake a Roku TV from Eco Mode. So I find myself switching back and forth between the two (this has better layout than the official app). Hopefully these can be addressed in the future.

Outstanding app. Spent first 5 minutes trying to figure out how to configure it to multiple Roku devices, before realizing it auto configured itself and was ready for use. Exceptionally easy, user friendly. Top job.

Could have more features at the very least keep up with what the standard Roku but works great and my wife uses it more than the real remote.

RoByte remote for Roku is a great app. I love it!!

Hmmmm?

So I lost my Roku remote. Seriously, no idea where I put it. (I figure as soon as I have a workable solution, I'll find it. Murphy's Law and all that.) I priced out replacing the remote and the cheapest I can find is $20 or 30.... and there's always the possibility that I'll lose that one, too. You know what I never lose, though? My tablet. The Official Roku app requires that your Roku be on the same wireless network as your phone/tablet, but my Roku is wired because I wanted the faster connection. In that case, the Official Roku app simply doesn't work for you... Added to that, in order to set up the wireless, I'd need the remote (or a working substitute), which I don't have. This app had good reviews, so I did the two-day free trial. I'm not even through the end of that yet, but I already know I'm willing to pay for the full version. It discovered my Roku with no setup. It works even though my Roku is wired. It has all the functionality of my original remote and I'm exponentially less likely to lose it. Totally awesome. Thank you!!

I bought this one thinking it was the Roku Wear Remote. That one cost less and has the complete remote control on the wear. This stupid app only has play and pause.

Thanks for this app! My kids are constantly losing the remote. This app completely solved that problem. Bonus it works for multiple roku sticks without any programming involved. Just install and use. Easy.

Great alternative for remote.

Brilliant

Downgraded to Android KitKat and this app work great now. I use the Device button quite a lot because I have two Roku devices. So please keep it accessible. Thanks. Far better than the Roku original app.

I'm not going to manually enter the RoKu Ip because it is dynamic and will change. Uninstalling - doesn't work.

Easy to set it up and a clean interface which make this a no brainer , stop looking and buy this

Hmmmm?

Only one thing could make it better. Any chance of implementing the ability to surf the channel store??

Synced immediately; works better than the actual remote!

It works

Simple and robust.

Nearly perfect! Beautiful design, faster than regular Roku app. All it needs is vibration feedback and it'd be 5 stars.

Works quickly and perfectly for the times I can't find my roku remote. Being able to use my phones keyboard for searches is a huge plus too

Pretty straightforward. Does the job & it works. Searching is much easier using the phones keyboard.

Much better than other roku apps. I love that I can switch channels and change devices so easily

Greatest ever

This app is fantastic but it really needs a dpad on android wear to be complete.

Graphics could be sharper for my 577 ppi display though, don't know if the same can be done for the channels graphics. Also would like to be able to stream to roku

It works all the time everytime

This app works great. Dependable and works simple as that.

This thing blows the official Roku remote app away. It's also tons better than the real remote. It's quick to respond and you can use your voice to search for things. It's totally worth the $2.99

New design is awesome and works great!

Much better than first party app. Superb tablet support, and engaging design.

Easy to set it up and a clean interface which make this a no brainer , stop looking and buy this

I'm not going to manually enter the RoKu Ip because it is dynamic and will change. Uninstalling - doesn't work.

Android wear for moto 360 not working. Yet it claims support and shows moto 360 on appstore. Seems like a scam app

Could have more features at the very least keep up with what the standard Roku but works great and my wife uses it more than the real remote.

This is hands down, the best Roku remote I've ever used. Well worth the money. I will be sharing this with my friends.

They didn't have a problem with the name when they included your app in their blog post about remotes. Guess this means the official remote is on its way. Great Roku remote app. Has worked flawlessly.

Great alternative to roku remote. I would like to see motion sensor support for games like Angry birds.

I have reinstalled and rebooted with little improvement
