About Remote for Roku

Remote for Roku acts just like your physical Roku remote, only better:

-Auto-scan of all wired Roku devices, manual scan for wireless devices
-Navigate directly to any channel using Channel button (New)
-Supports multiple Roku players
-New Back, Info & Replay buttons
-Landscape & portrait
-Fast text entry
-Home screen widget
-Multiple Skins (New: custom skins)


To use your own custom image as a background skin, copy any image into the RokuRemote folder in your SD card. The image name must be one of the following: Custom1.jpg, Custom2.jpg or Custom3.jpg. You can then select Custom1, Custom2 or Custom3 for your skin in Device Preferences. If you select a custom image from the preferences screen that doesn’t exist, the default skin will be used. The bundled images are 320 by 480 pixels, but any image should work and scale to fit the screen.

*** Troubleshooting ***
If you see lag between the app and the Roku, please restart your phone/tablet and the Roku. This will resolve 95% of issues. Should only need to do this every once in a while.

PLEASE - if you have connectivity problems, visit the troubleshooting section of this page:

You can even try the connectivity test before you buy.

It did not work. I checked tasty it was on the same network but it can not detect my roku device .

This app is so convenient when my remote is 3 ft away and my phone is close. Had this almost a year. All updates keep getting better. Def worth it.

J70%
by J####:

Basically it's really good except a message saying something like "auto detect failed" whenever I switch between my home screen and the app, it covers some of the controls so it's annoying. If it got fixed I would update my rating to 5*. This connects to my roku stick instantly every time and it looks good. I like the haptic feedback on the keys. Update: crashes when I press 'back' to the home screen every time so I use the home button. Not a big deal but annoying still.

Love the channel shortcuts. Get text searching. Just 2 things I that could be better 1. Ability to edit/rename certain long text channels 2. What is the secret menu?

This app is worth the $. Very handy, easy to use, & I've had NO issues with it on my G2X. Never even use the remote my Roku came with anymore. Thank you dev!

You have be able to provide the IP address before you can use it. Otherwise it won't find in the scan... Uninstall

I lost my Roku remote, and so I tried all the free Android Roku apps before purchasing this one. This is the only one where auto-detection worked. Touch interface to your channel list is a huge improvement over the native Roku Channel interface.. I can launch the channel I want much faster so it adds to my enjoyment of my Roku. Widget on my home screen is super convienent. I liked it so much I put it on my wife's phone as well! Well worth it & highly recommended

Running on an Acer Iconia Tab a500 (**Rooted: Honeyvillain 1.2/Honeycomb 3.2) Found my Roku (wireless) first try. Very quick and the channel selection display is nice.

After being disappointed with the free options, I tried this one out. The real remote works better, but nice in a pinch when remote is lost.

Now app exhibits looong control delays and usually reesults in clusters of commands being executed all at once after 2 minute periods of commands not being executed at all. Official Roku app works beautifully... skip this trash.

U70%

The widget could use a lot of work, otherwise great.

Y70%
by Y####:

Doesn't control Roku box well at all. In fact, it does something so wrong that my other remotes won't work either until I force close this app. Secret menu and bitrate functions don't work either. Don't waste your time or money.

I love this app! I lost my roku remote and I downloaded this taking a chance to see if it was any good and it works flawlessly. If you are looking for a remote for your roku system download this! It's 100% worth the money.

Nicely done. Only problem I'm seeing is my ROKU starts working erratically after a couple of hours use with this remote.

Not really an all out fude but ya know you wanna watch one thing & someone else doesn't. This app shuts em down pretty quick! Rude not really. Shouting hey I was watching that! Sometimes repeatedly seems kinda ruder. Maybe not it your home but during super bowl sorry gloves come off.

Lost remote this is a life saver.. just started using it no issues yet

Works very well with my Roku 3...its nice not having to worry about putting in batteries :-). One suggestion is if the app would work like the Roku 3 remote and let me use the android headphones to listen to the TV. That's one of my reasons for buying the Roku three otherwise it's a great app :-)
