Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

I just got this

★ · v1.3.3 · Oct 8, 2026

It freezes

Garbage

★★ · v1.3.3 · Oct 7, 2026

I use this app as a remote, I don’t recall remotes having 5 ads every time I use it

Misleading advertisement

★ · v1.3.3 · Oct 3, 2026

This app was advertised as free! Guess what? It’s only free for a 3day trial. Misleading

Doesn’t work

★ · v1.3.3 · Sep 28, 2026

Won’t connect to TV after purchase. It worked as I was testing it, I downloaded it and now it doesn’t work. Stole my money.

Everything you do cost

★★ · v1.3.3 · Sep 27, 2026

It’s affordable but do you have charge for everything in life give to the ppl after dedications of working all day and come home and change the tv freely

Doesn’t work/overcharged

★ · v1.3.3 · Sep 21, 2026

App was $28.99 annually but my account was charged over $50. It doesn’t work on my phone at all. Won’t change from Samsung tv to YouTube tv!

Two stars

★★ · v1.3.3 · Sep 20, 2026

I was using it and it works just fine but just a little too many commercials

critica

★ · v1.3.2 · Sep 3, 2026

no me encanta porque me sale muchos anuncios

Terrible

★ · v1.3.2 · Sep 2, 2026

This App is a SCAM it wont allow you to use the apps features unless you subscribe, the original roku app doesn’t require any payment at all, this app is a scam do not download or pay for any subscriptions - The Original Roku app has a built in remote for all roku tv’s

agonizing - don’t bother downloading

★ · v1.3.2 · Aug 27, 2026

first of all, I was horrified to find out that there’s this horrible screeching glitchy sound that plays loud AF when u use the volume buttons. Second of all the app is almost impossible to use with the amount of ads and pop ups. They design the pop ups to look like a remote so you accidentally click on them as well.

It’s not very good

★★ · v1.3.2 · Aug 24, 2026

When it works it’s fine but half the time It Doesn’t connect. There are also so many adds all the time. Many of the features are taken away unless you have premium. 2/5 would not recommend

To manny adds

★ · v1.3.2 · Aug 23, 2026

To manny adds

Good app less adds

★ · v1.3.2 · Aug 17, 2026

There’s just way too many adds every 5 seconds every few clicks there’s a add

Rarely Works

★ · v1.3.1 · Aug 12, 2026

App is a constant battle to keep it working. Stay clear!!

.

★★ · v1.3.0 · Jul 27, 2026

Too many ads

Scam

★ · v1.3.0 · Jul 22, 2026

Literally on the add as click bait scammed me it said “ your device may be offline. Would you like to try waking it up and connecting” and then under the text it had a box on the left that said “cancel” and then a box beside it on the right that said “connect” horrible, please fix this apple you need to review the apps more in depth.

It’s meh too many ads

★ · v1.3.0 · Jul 20, 2026

The app it’s self is great I loved how great it works but every 10 seconds I get a ad and I’m not even exaggerating. All I ask is to remove that many ads!

No lo descargues

★ · v1.3.0 · Jul 14, 2026

Está aplicación tiene 2 anuncios cada vez que hago dos movimientos en la tele esto no funciona cuando la quiero apagar no me funciona se supone que control TV Roku y no sirve mal recomendado lo sirve pierden su TIEMPO!!!

So much ads

★ · v1.3.0 · Jul 10, 2026

It is always showing ads every 3 presses for 5 seconds and a page keeps coming up for me to pay

You need to read this ASAP

★ · v1.3.0 · Jul 2, 2026

Every 3 to 5 second of using it, there is an ad, I'm not even exaggerating. Please make it so there are less ads

Remote

★ · v1.2.9 · Jun 22, 2026

Although this app works, it is very disappointing. Every time I use it there is an ad every two seconds. I cant even spell out one word without being sent to an ad. It is very annoying and frustrating. This app is low quality and has way too many ads and glitches for the subscription they try to make you pay for. It is not worth the time or money.

Nonfunctional

★ · v1.2.9 · Jun 22, 2026

I downloaded the app it won’t let me remove it and it won’t shut down

don’t reccomend

★ · v1.2.8 · Jun 15, 2026

can’t push anything on my screen without an ad popping up

How much money does a controller app need!?!

★ · v1.2.7 · May 27, 2026

I get it it’s a free app but the amount of ads just too tap a few buttons is ridiculous.

Hate It

★ · v1.2.7 · May 6, 2026

There’s an ad like literally every 5secs it’s impossible to do anything

The opportunity
