The Roku App (Official) App Reviews

I dont get what the negative complaints are about this. I have an iPhone 6s Plus running iOS 9 .3 .1. I have not had any of the issues that anyone is describing here. Its probably their Internet connection or router issue. I am an IT and network engineer. I also have a top-of-the-line router that cost $299 by Netgear, used with Cox Internet I believe its their 30 meg connection. Its also using a Cisco or Linksys cable modem that was and also about $100. That combination alone is great for streaming. Ive never had any problems with Xbox or anything else. This application works excellent. It allows you to use your phone as a keyboard to type in passwords and user IDs and so forth. I have not experienced any disconnects or anything while streaming video music or anything else. All-around this is a great app any way you look at it. Shouldnt complain its free!

I would give this app and the new streaming stick 5 stars if not for one major fail. When you use this app with earbuds on the Iphone for remote/private listening of the audio, it completely disables your real ROKU remote, forcing you to use the virtual app remote for everything. Its a pain because the virtual remote is clumsy and its easy to hit the wrong button, if your iphone screen saver kicks in, you have to re-login just to pause the video or switch channels. This is a major fail for me. Why no just leave both remotes active???

But it doesnt work. Constantly loses connection to the stick and wont reconnect without being rebooted. Pretty aggravating to have to do every 30 seconds.

I lost my remote and the remote on the app really helped

app continuously disconnects from device. will not load channels

Nice app on phone or tablet works great just really surprised no watch interface yet. I asked for for watch interface for my fusion and 4 days later had it. These guys cant get in done in months. Big disappointment for someone like roku. You support 4k but cant support the watch?! Lets get with the times were not using corded phones here.

Being able to use the iPhone to control Roku makes things a lot easier and it is one less remote to look for!

The most impressive is how user friendly the app is. This time, Roku amazed me.

This is very easy to use once you learn what buttons work what function. Also like this app because I can be on my patio on the other side of home and it still works on my tv outside using a wireless hdmi signal device. Im eager to see what the newest updates will do today.

Works exactly as stated every time you use it. I have no complaints.

Yes wish your short cut buttons you can reprogram them too what your favorite channels are.

Downloaded fine. Worked for about 30 minutes. Now it cant find the tv on the network.

Excellent Service!!!

App constantly crashes. Also, i have a roku2 device and app does not connect to it. If at all it does then disconnects within 30-45 minutes and never connects back again. The development team who developed it has let your company and all of us down. Your QA team who tested the app has committed a bigher crime by passing this release.

Broke our only Roku remote if it hadnt been for this app wed of had a very ticked of mom.! Thank you! Love this app!

Use it all the time every day.

Swipe mode is awesome! I would like to load more apps to the Roku device but you cant have it all I assume. Tks SML

It used to be a 5 star app but after the last update it no longer finds my roku stick on my wifi. Only every 20 times I open the app it will find it. Its so annoying please fix this it use to be so good.

I was so excited to see that I could listen to my shows on my phone with my Roku Stick... until I couldnt. Please make this update compatible with ALL Roku Sticks!!! I have the 3500R instead of 3600R. Why should it matter? As long as I have the stick, it should work. Very unhappy. Please consider adding this great feature to all devices.

My streaming stick is 1 week old from Amazon. Despite what app says it will do I cant connect via Bluetooth. Roku really needs some sound output options.
