About this app

The official remote app for your Roku® device.
Roku Remote (Official) turns your phone into a feature-packed remote control for Roku players and Roku TVs. Enjoy convenient, easy control of your Roku devices, quickly launch your favorite apps and channels, search with your voice, type with your phone’s keyboard, and listen privately with headphones — all from the device already in your pocket.

The free Roku Remote app features:
* Remote control — a full-featured Roku remote on your phone, with the same buttons as the one you lost in the couch
* Keyboard — type search terms, passwords, and Wi-Fi info with your mobile keyboard instead of the on-screen grid
* Voice search — say what you want and get to it faster
* Private listening — plug headphones into your phone so you can stream without waking the house
* Cast photos and video — share what's on your phone to the big screen
* Control your apps — easily add new apps to your Roku device, or quickly launch your favorites
* Free TV - stream a huge selection of free movies, live TV, and more right from your phone.

Works with Roku TV™ models and Roku streaming players.

To use certain features, connect your phone or tablet to the same wireless network as your Roku device. Some features require a compatible Roku device and may require signing into your Roku account.

Feature availability:
* Voice search is available in English in the US, UK, and Canada, and in Spanish in Mexico and the US.
* The Roku Channel can be viewed in the mobile app in the US and Mexico only.
* Some channels require payment, can change, and vary by country.

Was perfect for years. But in the last few weeks, it keeps disconnecting or not working, and I have to keep restarting the app for it to do anything ... Roku's reply isn't helpful. Phone and Roku have always been on the same WiFi, and it works initially every time I use it. But the moment I switch apps and go back to it, it's stopped communicating with the box. It's clearly a problem, based on the dozens of reviews saying exactly the same thing 🙄

Hi, we'd like to offer a few tips to help! Before you start using the Roku mobile app, check that your mobile device and your Roku device are connected to the same WiFi network. If your Roku device still does not appear on the app's discovery screen, please follow the steps here: https://go.roku.com/WiFiAppHelp. Thanks!

App works well with my TV. I usually watch the TV daily with headphones so I don't disturb my wife. I have to route my headphones through the phone app instead of the TV as there is no direct Bluetooth option. The only thing I HATE, if I'm listening to the TV with my headphones and have to pause my show to do something (bathroom, take dog out, etc.), any alert that comes in my phone unpauses it. This is very annoying and I always have to rewind. Please fix this automatic unpausing. Thank You!

Changing my review to say the app works much better now. Went from not working at all to working consistently. only took them a long while lol. Im very thankful for it (when it's working properly) because evidently my household can keep track of a single remote. I can't even find the remote I just bought. It's still in the box🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️. So I, and other family members can use the app as a remote when needed! Thank you roku😘
