Remote for TCL Roku TVs for Negative User Reviews
✓ Ads?This is an app for a product that you purchased. It should be ad free. Instead it bombards you to subscribe to some roku service that no one cares about and then blocks remote functionality with timed ads that you can’t remove until they’re finished. Had this installed for a total of 3 minutes before deleting it off my phone. I was hoping to use it in place of the crappy unresponsive remote that came with the tv but looks like I’ll have to buy a universal remote. Buying products isn’t enough for companies, they want your data and to shove ads in your face as well. Complete garbage business model that turns users away all so they can make a few extra dollars.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Filled with ads and frustrationsI have a tcl Roku tv and thought this would be the ticket because the kids lost the Roku. Keeps taking me to the internet to ads and websites for their advertisers. Deleting and will not make this mistake again. The other ap for Roku remote is better, as I now recall when this happened in the past. Do not recommend whatsoeve..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Horrible.Don’t waste your time or money. I downloaded this app, there were constant ads, and i dumbly made the mistake of paying for the ad free version, and now they’re taking $10 out of my bank acct every two weeks, with no option to cancel. I haven’t been able to get anyone to email me back no matter how many times I fill out the form on their website. USE ANOTHER APP..Version: 1.3.4
✓ It works. SortaOk button doesn’t work. I went to get the apps page and it was supposed to give me a 3 day free trial. Instead it charged me right away for it. We’ll all I need this app for is a few days till the actual remote I ordered arrives. I can’t afford to spend money like crazy just because an app refuses to cooperate. I’ll be disputing the charge with PayPal before the 3 days are up since I’ll be canceling the subscription to this anyway before those 3 days are up. Since this is supposed to be for the roku tv and works other than the ok button it gets some stars. This app won’t get that money..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Was good until this newest add change.Same add for a game over and over that makes u close it then pops up a game you have to wait to close. I get idea is to make money but don’t forget you are a remote app and when someone picks it up to use they don’t want to sit for forever and close multiple screens all of which you need to wait for .. is this necessary? I’m deleting..Version: 1.3.4
✓ The on/off button does not work!This app is almost perfect. I was actually considering paying for the subscription, my issue is,the on and off button does not work. And that’s the main time you need it if you can’t even turn the TV on, what’s the point of use in the remote? Can the TV turn on or off with the premium subscription? If it does, then I will buy it. If not, then, there is no use in buying it. It’s great otherwise though..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Really ?? Weekly charge for this ?!?!?You’re kidding right ? I’m sick of these rip-off apps charging ridiculous money to people who don’t pay attention ! Come on Apple you need to do a better job filtering out the crooks.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Don’t work with my tlc tvYour app says in the App Store that’s it’s for tlc TVs and then when I downloaded it the name was completely different.Version: 1.2.7
✓ Annoying AdsI would have given it a higher rating but I couldn’t with the annoying ads. Each time I press I few buttons or even after 3 commands, I don’t look at the remote and I’m wondering how come my command hasn’t taken action? Because an ad just went on and I’d have to manually press the “x” or “done” button to exit and continue with my command. Otherwise, the remote is exactly as it looks with the real remote (which we misplaced and can’t find), and the buttons are exactly what it should do. Improvements would be minus the ads, but I guess that’s too much to ask..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Not Affiliated with Roku; Tracks You; Un-Exitable Ad ScamThis isn’t an app affiliated with Roku, despite the dark pattern of making it look like it is. There’s some fine print letting the user know this, but lots of the highly-rated reviews are clearly rating Roku as a service and not this Roku remote from a random developer. Aside from that it’s a bad app functionally. Constantly loses connection, settings aren’t persisted, etc. The worse things are that it requests significantly more permissions than needed. Typically this level of permissions is only requested when not actually needed when the app is tracking you and selling the data to third parties. The similar and infamous Flashlight App that requested all permissions and just sold all your data to ad companies (or worse) is another example of what this “Roku Remote” app is certainly doing. To complete the scam circle, this app includes unskippable, unexitable full screen ads. Not only is this pretty user hostile, but because there’s no way to exit most of the ads the user ends up clicking them accidentally (or exiting the app and reloading). This is ad fraud because the user never intended to click, yet the company gets paid for these clicks. You can defang this app with network wide ad blocking, something like a PiHole, which will block the ads, and kill the trackers in other ways, but largely not worth it just for the limited functionality this app provides..Version: 1.3.7
✓ It won’t let me Watch TV😡😭😭😡It won’t let me press the OK button I can’t watch anything only thing it’s good for is the home the on the input the turnup turn down the play button and everything else on the remote but it won’t let me hit the OK button what good is there a mail if you have to pay to watch TV I tried Netflix I tried Disney+ I tried the Roku channel it did not work none of the others did 😡 we lost the Roku remote the other day and we cannot find it we had a different Roku app that works perfect Who would want to get A Roku remote app that you have to pay to watch Netflix and everything who would want to do that?????🤨🧐🤨I mean I can’t watch anything . I can only go up and down , I can’t watch anything😢😭.!.!.Version: 1.3.4
✓ CrapI bought this because I have bought 10 remotes in the last year because my kids keep losing them or breaking them. This app does not work unless you have a remote to the Tv. If the tv is off for a hour you can’t turn it on with this app makes it kinda pointless to own and it stoped working in day 4. How convenient right after free three day trial.Version: 1.3.8
✓ Won’t workCan’t connect and won’t work. I’m on the same wifi network as the tv. Garbage.Version: 1.3.7
✓ Could be betterSo when I first get on it starts loading it works then I go to play a game and I come back it works but when I waited for a while and I go back because my thing says are you still watching it won’t let me in and it keeps going to some thing that makes me tap on the thing but it’s never there could be better I don’t really like it maybe you could improve it to make it stop doing it.Version: 1.3
✓ Doesn’t workWon’t connect with my TV.Version: 1.3.8
✓ The app is garbage and a waste of spaceThe OK button doesn’t work.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Not pairingHow on earth do you pair is there a ritual or incantation to be performed as after trying constantly I’m still no further, try putting an interface in between the pairing sequence with some instructions..Version: 1.2.5
✓ App kinda blows sometimesThe remote does it’s bare essential functions when you don’t pay for it. But then again I think putting ads for a remote you bought the TV for is super annoying and a way to steal more of your money. Use if desperate..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Interaction screen doesn’t workI use this app when I’m in a different part of the house and I need to turn the volume up, down and rewind when my girls are napping. I would be satisfied with this app if the interaction screen actually worked. I purchased the unlimited subscription hoping that it would grant me access to the interaction page and something would actually appear. However it still remains blank. I would like a refund..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Works great… when it worksWhen I first bought this app (I paid for the lifetime membership) it worked great, being able to use the keyboard to type when searching was very useful. However, now it has trouble even connecting to the tv, forcing me to restart my phone whenever I want to use the darn thing..Version: 1.3.7
✓ One of the worst Roku apps ever.😡😡😡😡😡😤😤😤😤😤🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬Do not download this app!! First of all it takes so long for it to connect to a tv and there is an ad every like 1 time you push a button do not download this app have you seen the other reviews. This app should be shut down immediately and the people paid for the paid version should get a refund because you will regret ever downloading this app. If I could give this 0 stars I would and so would the other people who reviewed this worthless fake app..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Use Roku’s Official Remote App InsteadThis app wouldn’t be bad if all of the features were unlocked behind the free version. You cannot tap a channel in this app and have it take you to that channel on your TV. That is a paid feature that is free on the Roku official app. The one good thing about this app is the interaction screen where you can swipe left, right, up, and down, but this is also a locked feature unless you pay for it. It doesn’t connect to the tv half the time unless you reboot your tv. The Roku app also does this, just not as much. Overall, this app is inferior to the official one..Version: 1.3.4
✓ This is so trashTo get pro features you need to pay money and The OK button doesn’t work on iOS 12.Version: 1.3.4
✓ 3 Stars because of adverts3 Stars because of adverts and no volume settings.Version: 1.2.2
✓ 50% good 50% garbageI paid for the premium remote and it worked amazing. Functionality was amazing and couldn’t of asked for anything more. BUT it only works about 70% of the time, only works when the tv is already turned on and for a $15 app that shouldn’t the case. Maybe I’ll spend that time to get a refund but who knows. OVERALL advice, dont buy..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Lifetime purchase /AdsSo I downloaded the app last night and it worked fine. I decided that I didn’t want the ads and decided that $15 for lifetime access isn’t bad. As soon as I clicked on it, it clearly didn’t sign me up for it so it better not have taken my money, but, it refuses to work correctly now. CMON ROKU!!! I’m still getting ads and not only that but I can’t clock out of them viewed… ugh!! Seriously??!!! Can we fix this please?.Version: 1.3.7
✓ Works 1/50 timesCool - my brand new tv’s remote no longer works (losing my mind trying to figure out what I DID wrong for the first 45 minutes) so I download this piece of garbage app for it to spam me with ads constantly, and work one out of maybe 500 times as I’m 7 feet from the tv screen. Worked for the first month now nothing. Whole tv is essentially unusable. Great job TCL..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Pop upI’m ok with pop up ads, but the recent creepy Crypto app one never goes away and doesn’t have an x. I almost downloaded the dodgy app twice after waiting 5 minutes for the x. Deleted this remote. Shame as it was fine for the past few years..Version: 1.3.7
✓ ☹️Some buttons won’t work and you can’t turn the tv on, only off. Also they give you an ad after just about everything you do, and keeps trying to get you to subscribe to get everything in the app. Plus, you can’t go step to an app on the tv like you could with an real remote; You have to subscribe if you want to do that. This was not that great..Version: 1.3.7
✓ 3 years on - Still no easy discovering issueJust like the previous comment, I’ve got 2 TV’s that remain undiscoverable and the app forces you straight into a pairing screen that never finds your devices.Version: 1.3.7
✓ ManaaOt doesn’t work.Version: 1.3.4
✓ FrustratingOne of the worst most frustrating apps I have ever used. When it works it is ok. When I connect the ap w the tv and home internet it connects ok…but…. It immediately switches to a credit karma ad and it takes awhile to get back to the remote ap. Sometimes I have to close out of the ap and then reload. I assume if I pay the fee, this won’t happen. It’s not worth it..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Nice while it lasted…Worked for 2 weeks now it won’t locate my tv good for the time it lasted now it’s a useless app.Version: 1.3.4
✓ What a crap app!! Glad this was a work tv.What an absolutely crappy app. You have to pay monthly to use the friken thing! Stay away from the TV’s and this STOOOPID AAAPP..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Ads.The app itself is great. And I understand the ads and the option to pay to remove them. However, I’ve come across some ads that will not close. You have to close the app to get them to go away. If every app could be closed (after some time) it would be 5 stars..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Doesn’t workNo longer discovers TV and I paid the one time fee. Be careful as this company has several apps. I downloaded another and it shows my TV but I’m not paying for a second remote to have it stop working after the first day.Version: 1.3.7
✓ Repeat userThe first time I used this, it was amazing! The second time I wanted to use it I couldn’t sync it b/c the tv wasn’t on. 🤦🏼♀️ I couldn’t find the remote which was why I wanted it in the first place so it was a bust. The third attempt just now it attempted to sync but never found my television for long stretches. Finally, this ‘please review this app!’ request pops up while it’s failing me. 😄 👎🏼 Was awesome when it connected to my tv. Haven’t managed to get to again. I don’t understand it..Version: 1.3.7
✓ It worksIt works, but not from your lock screen. It is better than the factory default remote, which didn’t work well when it worked at all. Voice command is also a shocking omission. Not being able to control volume from the lock screen is a larger problem, however. Still, it does work..Version: 1.2.7
✓ Won’t syncI have a Hi Sense Smart TV but this app won’t locate the TV and sync. Disappointed!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Roku RemoteOur son dropped our Roku remote in the toilet so we needed a quick fix. Got this app and it did what it was intended to do. Worked great for a while. Now there’s ads that pop up after you push the buttons on the app so many times and you try and click X to get off the ad but instead it takes you to the internet and then redirects you again to the Apple Store. Very aggravating. Would be giving it 5 stars otherwise but I’m constantly having to close the app and reopen it because of how the ads are now..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Unhappy camperIt won’t find my tv.Version: 1.3.7
✓ It’s goodI like the app, but it takes too long to load when it comes to the TV being off, I also don’t like the random ads popping up because I accidentally clicked them when I’m trying to use the controls but other than that it’s pretty good and I do recommend it.Version: 1.3.8
✓ I can’t believe I have to deal with ads for a remoteThe reason I started using this app is because the remote that came with the TV stopped working. I was pleasantly surprised to find they put out an app to replace the remote as it appears the remote not working is a known issue. HOWEVER, I could not believe it when I went I used the app to scroll through a show and was interrupted by an advertisement. What kind of company puts out a utility to work with their product and makes their customers deal with ads. I was gobsmacked. I was impressed with TCL until that point..Version: 1.3.4
✓ It won’t workIt won’t let me actually use the remote and it doesn’t say like another tv or any tv it just is so annoying.Version: 1.3.6
✓ TerribleDownload this app a few years ago when it was free. It would okay adds before I could use it from time to time. So I paid the $2.99 for the app. Worked great for the last three years, until yesterday. Now it won’t connect to my tv. Found out why, I have to rebuy the app. It won’t let me restore my purchase either. I’m not paying $3/week $7/month or $15 buck for a remote. Crappy way to do business!!!!!!!!!.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Quit workingAfter using it for a few months it won't connect to the TV. Definitely not worth paying for.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Frequent CrashesThis remote is great when it’s actually operational. I paid for the lifetime service so that I could skip past the in app ads, best decision ever. However, the app takes forever to connect to my TCL tv and when it does the app renders, and render, and render. I have to close it out a few times in order for me to actually use it..Version: 1.3.8
✓ Limited capabilitiesDon’t waste your money unless you absolutely need a power button for your tv. Download the free Roku remote - it’s easier to use and has more functionality. The only thing missing from it was the power button, which is why I bought this one. I’d sure appreciate my money back!.Version: 1.3.8
