RoByte: Roku Remote TV App for Negative User Reviews
✓ HorribleThis app is terrible don’t waste your time get the actual Roku remote App. This one can’t turn your TV on and half the time the controls don’t work! Even worse they want your money.Version: 2.1.5
✓ Why do I have to pay to change the volumeOne of the main features of a remote is changing the volume. My Roku remote recently broke so I had to download this app and I discovered that many options that came with the remote I got with the TV are are locked behind a pay wall in this app. It is ridiculous to me that a app as simple as a remote substitute requires you to pay actual money to change the volume! I have paid Roku enough money by buying the smart TV I don't want to have to pay them more money to change the volume on my channel. As we become more and more attached to the digital world we have to stand up to anti-consumer things like this! I wish I could uninstall this app but I am forced to use it.Version: 2.0.18
✓ 😠App doesn’t work. Do not buy!!.Version: 2.0.15
✓ It’s alrightIt’s alright but I keep getting “ please connect to WiFi” when I’m alright connected , my now tv sticks are all connected but the app doesn’t pick it up a lot of the time. When it works it works but I’m finding just recently it’s gotten worse.Version: 2.1.18
✓ GOODVery good spam.Version: 2.1.3
✓ Don’t buy pro and it’s greatI loved this app until I bought the pro fir $6 aud. I wanted volume and power to work but instead the whole thing no longer works..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Do not downloadI download it in my iPhone 11 it’s asking me to enable Wi-fi when it’s already turned on and I have 4g and unlimited data this app is no good Don’t down load.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Waste of money!Volume does not work (it should on my devise). Can’t believe I paid for the premium version of this app! Refund required!.Version: 2.1.7
✓ Why pay for an App that does nothing differentThis App is Ok but you pay for phone remote functions the App by Roku (company) provides for free. One main function the App by Roku (company) provides over this app is the ability to use your phone’s headphones for private viewing if someone is in your TV room and you don’t want to disturb them. This app does not bring enough in functions for the developer to charge such a premium. That along with the lack of support, save your money and take a pass on this App..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Broken remoteI broke my remote and someone told me about this app and I get to watch my tv and movies again.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Very happy bunnySo happy I’ve got this app now as trying to find the remote control in this house is just not happening!!!! Now being able to control what I want to watch with my mobile phone is truly great think this is gonna catch on fast 🙌👍😊.Version: 2.0.21
✓ Signs outStruggles to stay connected and it’s a pain to get working again.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Why?I got the app for when I lose my remote but you need to use the remote to set up the app.Version: 2.1.16
✓ It Works But...The remote works fine, just as it’s supposed to but it has this one extremely annoying quality. Every time I use the app (ex: to pause a movie/tv show) and then exit off of the app it turns my volume off. Literally every single time. It’s extremely annoying and I don’t know why it’s happening. Tried to reach out to support but there’s literally no way of contacting them. Pausing a movie or tv show isn’t worth having to turn my volume back on 100 times a day because of this app. I’ll be uninstalling this and just using the remote I have and pressing the back button if I have to walk away..Version: 2.0.25
✓ BluetoothWhat a money grab. Returning my tv today and will be telling all what a rip off this is.Version: 2.1.6
✓ Do not buy proThis control worked perfectly then I spent £3.99 to get the pro version and now the app is not working at all. I hope this can be rectified..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Not user friendlyWouldn't recommend this app. It's not user friendly at all. The arrows don't navigate the way you intuitively expect them too and once you've made an error, it seems you have to go back to Home and start over each time. Bad roku app.Version: 2.1.5
✓ Rip offI purchased this in good faith when it first came in out, l could freely use all areas of the remote.. now l find l am locked out of three of the major functions unless l pay additional fees for the privilege. I haven’t got what l paid for..Version: 2.1.1.1
✓ Not worth the moneyPaid for premium in order to type by keyboard and change volume like promised. Cannot do either of these things.Version: 2.1.6
✓ DisappointedVery disappointed in this app. It was not easy to use and would not connect to my tv when I thought it had. I just wasted $5.99 on an app that won’t work.Version: 2.1.7
✓ IrritatingOnly wanted one of the in app purchases but the app keeps bouncing me to the page trying to get me to pay for more. Really irritating. It works perfectly apart from that but it’s annoying enough for me to delete it and ask for a refund !!.Version: 2.0.24
✓ Don’t download as it cost per monthROKU TV have their own, OFFICIAL, app that is free to download and free to use. You can connect the Official Roku App remote to your NOWTV. Continue as Guest, then select “Remote” and scan for your NOW TV box. This app works great, very easy to set up but ridiculous to charge per month..Version: 2.1.16
✓ Does the job...Works fine and is very responsive to commands. It is an exact copy of the controller and that’s where I’d like to have seen improvements. The lack of channel numbers to quickly navigate is a real disappointment and makes the whole UI experience feel clumsy..Version: 2.0.21
✓ DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!Got this app because i’m always losing my remote and the app has a feature that lets you use the keyboard to display on your Roku TV. but the TV didn’t take it and i had to press one by one like i would on an actual remote. usually i wouldn’t be writing a review but given the fact that i had so many ads that said to purchase for $4, i said why not? don’t know if i’m the only one who’s had this issue and could be just a personal experience but it’s still helpful if you can’t find your remote!.Version: 2.1.7
✓ Dosent workI'm connected to the Internet and all, but it still says "Cant connect to Roku" And the main reason I got this app was because our IRL remote dosent work, Idk why but the right stick dosent work, like at all, if you press it, but when you do press it down, it just dosent work (dosent go right) So that's my problem with this app..Version: 2.0.25
✓ Don’t buyMy boyfriend downloaded this because he is naive and thought this was a legit app. I have just paid £5 and the keyboard doesn’t even work. Do not let your boyfriend download this..Version: 2.0.21
✓ Paying for extraMy volume doesn’t work and I paid for it and it doesn’t do anything Why make someone pay for something that doesn’t work !! Great app sucks.Version: 2.0.24
✓ MehThis is great when it works - since my husband constantly misplaces the controller. However, it would be nice if it worked for more than 5 minutes before I have to uninstall, reinstall and pray that it works, instead of having to repeat the process! At least half the time I have to uninstall a second time before I can get results. The App keeps disconnecting from the TV for reasons unknown to me..Version: 2.0.25
✓ Good AppGreat for controlling the Telstra TV. All channels. Volume control which I purchased for $2.99 did not work. Please kindly disable the function on my app and return my $2.99..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Connection’s problemKeeps saying I have wifi even though my missus phone has the same app and no problems..Version: 2.1.16
✓ Doesn’t workEvery time I use this I have to delete and re- download the app.. at the end of the night (or finish watching the TV) I turn the TV off and the app won’t work the next time I go to use it.... unable to connect with device...🤨.Version: 2.1.2
✓ HDHomeRunHDHomeRun doesn’t work with Roku fix it ..Version: 2.1.19
✓ DisappointedI was convinced to purchase pro because I thought it would be an awesome upgrade. What I didn’t know is that the volume wouldn’t work even though my roku supports it. Also, if my family uses it, they have to purchase the upgrades themselves, which I can almost understand but it was not clear before the purchase. Further,if I want it on my iPad, I have to purchase the upgrades again, this I can not understand since it is my own device and I have already paid for the upgrades. By far the most disappointing aspect is the difficulty in finding away to contact support. Perhaps some of my issues are fixable however the only way I could find to contact support was through a review. No contact info on the App Store and if you click on app support you get a website with only basic information and still no way to contact the developer. Hopefully we can all get some support and information moving forward..Version: 2.0.25
✓ SCAMShame on Apple to let this SCAM Continue! What a rip off they keep charging me every week, despite cancelling..Version: 2.1.20
✓ Lowkey scamDont get the app there’s another like it that comes with all the paid features for free yall welcome🤞🏾.Version: 2.1.16
✓ Won’t workSays my wifi not connected.Version: 2.1.7
✓ Volume control doesn’t workI paid to control the volume of the tv, every time I press the volume button on my phone the app freezes & have to restart it...Version: 2.1.1.1
✓ RoByte reviewGet rid of the subscription, it should be free.Version: 2.2.1
✓ Paywalls for volume???Yup.Version: 2.1.6
✓ SokThe fact they want you to pay ( too much in my view- you’re close to just buying another clicker) for the obvious convenience of selecting channels as opposed to the one step navigation that’s in the “base” version. Plus, I can’t turn on my tv or use volume- an extra?! Haven’t bothered to investigate. If you’ve lost your clicker ( or the dog ate Them as in my case!), and you can turn on your tv , it does the basic job of navigating thru up/down, l/r and select just fine..Version: 2.0.24
✓ Pro is a rip offI paid $6 for the pro version and it doesn’t even work!!! NONE of the features work! I want a refund!!.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Absolutely rip off!Downloaded this app because my Roku remote broke and new one won’t be in until next week. I even paid the $3.99 for the “pro” version so it would control the volume. However most of the buttons don’t function properly. The up/down/side buttons don’t work right at all. If you push the down button, it opens an app instead of going DOWN the list. Same once you’re in the app, can’t move left/right/up/down. Every button you hit wants to start playing whatever show the highlit square lands on. No ability to scroll through and see what’s on and what you want to watch. Complete waste of money!.Version: 2.1.6
✓ ItDon’t work wast of my money.Version: 2.1.7
✓ Used to work perfectlyThe navigation on the remote has changed, ok button removed. Now anytime I’m trying to use my remote, it’s just trying to get me to buy all the extra features 🙄.Version: 2.1.6
✓ VolumeI can blast my tv but never have a way to turn it down do not buy doesn’t work.Version: 2.0.18
✓ I PAID AND GOT NOTHINGDon’t buy this crap.Version: 2.1.7
✓ 👎🏻Rip off no good wasted my money.Version: 2.0.23
✓ Wi-Fi issuesConstantly comes up with a screen telling me to connect to Wi-Fi even when I have only wifi turned on and mobile data turned off. Complete waste of time.Version: 2.1.16
✓ Don’t buyDoesn’t fully integrate. Bought the extra features and they don’t even work properly. Volume only goes up not down for example..Version: 2.0.18
✓ Mmmm not that greatYou gotta pay for the volume button and it freezes and screams all over.Version: 2.0.23
✓ Doesn't work half the timeThe title says it all. It says it can't connect for some reason. The app is almost useless.Version: 2.2.0
✓ It’s okayI bought the extras because I really just needed a remote that would turn my tv off and on bc my roku remote it came with doesn’t have that. I also wanted it to turn the volume up. the volume button on the app doesn’t work and the power button only works sometimes. I hate that I spend money on this but oh well. It does what it wants sometimes, it even turned my tv on when I didn’t even have the app open. The app isn’t that good so I don’t think you should waste money on it..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Don’t download.Total garbage. And seems like a scam. You need to buy the features to work them! The actual Roku app is free and doesn’t need each feature. This one is junk..Version: 2.0.20
✓ Roku ne fonctionne pas; que faire ?Roku ne fonctionne pas....Version: 2.0.24
✓ I hate itI hate this app because you have to buy a lot of stuff for it to do anything.Version: 2.1.6
✓ It’s just a remoteOh it’s just a remote! It’s just a simple remote! I thought it’s like a TV app that u can install and start watching without a device! Oh well I don’t have a Roku device so this is frustrating!.Version: 2.1.6
✓ No volumeNo volume selection unless you pay. Not going to happen when remotes are only $10 AU.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Not ResponsiveApp does not respond well. Talk feature is bad, doesn’t obey commands. Volume pretty much plays up un-responsive. App is not worth the money they charge as it only dose basic function such as change channel that a normal remote can do. There is no benefit to this App. Complete waste of time!.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Sorry, not connectingRoku app is not connecting to our roku TV. And you have to pay money to unlock channels and stuff. Sorry Also does the app work on iPads?.Version: 2.0.25
✓ TerribleI didn’t even have the app for 2 minutes and I deleted it I can state three reasons why I did. 1. It is low quality and when I connect it to my tv it barely works. 2. You have to pay to use the remote so basically just make the app paid for and then make everything free but no you wanna make the app free and then when you open the app if you don’t pay you can only access 2 or 3 things. And 3. 99 percent of the time it doesn’t even show my tv for me to connect to it, It just shows the living room and my child’s tv. Worst app ever.Version: 2.1.13
✓ Please add volume control and mute buttonApp should have in-built volume control and direct mute button, using cellphone volume buttons is too manual especially for muting.Version: 2.1.7
✓ DO NOT UPGRADEThis app worked out just fine before I upgraded and got all the features. Literally right after the upgrade, it hasn’t worked at all. We use 3 Roku TVs throughout our home. Before the upgrade it worked perfectly for each tv. After upgrade, it can’t discover any Roku devices. But the other Roku apps can discover all three. I’ve followed all troubleshooting advice multiple times and still not working. My advice, do not buy the upgrade. Hope this is useful..Version: 2.1.7
✓ Pro Purchase Does NothingI’m really not sure how to rate this app. On the one hand, I like the interface, and it does work with my Ultra Roku. However, expecting that the Volume Controls and the Power Button would work with the Pro features, I paid the nearly $4 for it, but I see no visible differences in the interface. No power button. The on-screen message tells me that my Ipad volume hardware buttons will control the volume - they don’t. So, I have basic functionality even after having paid for the Pro upgrade. Update: There is a power button and it will turn the unit off, but not back on. I get the message that “Cannot connect.” So, I still have to use the physical remote, which kind of defeats the purpose. The unit responds to the Ipad hardware Volume buttons only in that the little speakers with the relevant “+” or “-“ symbols appear, but it has no effect on the TV or the Roku Ultra device..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Great concept. Poor executionWhen it works, it’s awesome. The problem is that I have to go through complicated reset procedures almost daily. I always get the error message “cannot connect to roku device” After you turn everything off and back on, force close the app, delete the device off your app, and reconnect it, you can then use the feature for a day or two. This is a problem with all of our phones/iPods and all three of our roku devices. You might as well just get up and adjust your volume manually at the tv. It’s less of a hassle..Version: 2.1.13
✓ App won’t workEvery time I enter the app it tries to get me to purchase the full version. I understand that some features aren’t available in the free version, but this happens before I press any buttons! So I cannot use the app at all.Version: 2.1.6
✓ Crappy don’t waste timeWhen I first got it I was like wow this is so cool works really well and my sisters can’t take the remote off me. Then I don’t know what happened maybe an update or something but it just stopped working😡.Version: 2.0.25
✓ Before you download....Please do not download this app. It is a third party app and charges $1.99 simply to use the volume feature. And it doesn’t end there. It charges also to search the channels via the app page. I was confused. Please download the “Roku” app. I downloaded this one bc it was the first one in the lost. I always trusted the first app on the list when I search for an app. Not anymore. This third party is listed first but it is not the “real” app. I am not sure why Roku allowed this to be but it is wrong. The app does nothing until you purchase the features to use. This is a total rip off. We have to stand up to this kind of ridiculous greediness. Thank God my husband calmed me down and helped me realize that I did not download the same app he downloaded. Totally FREE and there are GREAT FEATURES ON IT..Version: 2.0.21
✓ Connection issuesThis is awful it works for like 2 days then it doesn’t connect to the network so I have to restart my wifi every time.Version: 2.1.18
✓ Get Rokie insteadRobyte wants you to purchase the pro mode to use the features already available on Rokie (an app which is free and has most features as far as I noticed) Rate 1 star so people can get the right app Fœtus.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Remote volume not workingNot happy I bought the add on feature for volume it’s a waste of money doesn’t work ..Version: 2.0.18
✓ Not usefulPaid money for additional features and still can not change volume or turn the tv on/off using roku remote. Do not pay for additional features..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Keep bugging for $$$No volume or pro options Spend the money then nothing works 😡.Version: 2.1.7
✓ Volume doesn’t work even when paying for upgrade a freezes we have to restart appThe volume dosent work on any devices even when we upgrade and it free and.Version: 2.1.5
✓ VolumeThe entire reason I payed for this app is so I could control the volume however it dose not work so very disappointed. Any ideas?.Version: 2.1.5
✓ Why?I purchased the app and had trouble using it. I assumed because the reviews were so great I should purchase the application. WRONG! I cannot remember being so frustrated trying to use an application. I called someone that I knew had used the application and still was very frustrated. I gave up and deleted the application. To add insult to this situation Apple would not refund my money. I downloaded the free app from Roku and it worked like a charm. The question that comes to mind is why in the world would anyone pay for this application? Another regret I have is I cannot rate this application as much worse than a one star..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Refund?I paid the extra 2$ for volume control and it DOES NOT WORK. I would love a refund from the developer….Version: 2.1.11
✓ CrapFor what ever reason this no longer gives me a remote so now I have to find a new one.Version: 2.1.13
✓ Not all butonsThere is no on off normes volume control.Version: 2.0.17
✓ Not what I paid forVolume control doesn’t work The On Off button doesn’t work.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Terrible At BestNot only does this app force you to pay for services already provided for free on the official app, it legitimately does not work. It’s almost never connects and if it does you can expect it to disconnect almost immediately while your Roku acts as if you are holding down the last button you pressed. Check the reviews too, I’d venture to say the majority are fake. I really do not know how Apple has not removed this hot garbage off the app store, but I am sure they will eventually. TLDR - don’t waste your time on this app..Version: 2.1.8
✓ Premium on iPhoneI payed for premium just to find out it doesn’t work on iPhones not happy Don’t pay for premium.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Waste of time and moneyI paid for the “upgraded” version. The high number of positive ratings must have been given by the developers to their own app. “Help” instructions are useless. I’ve bought lots of apps of all types. This is easily the the worst one by far. Apple should remove it from the App Store, ASAP.Version: 2.1.8
✓ YakkingSame things r forever losing single.Version: 2.0.25
✓ Volume doesn’t workI paid for the upgrade to control volume. Doesn’t work. Don’t pay. Keep the free version..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Keyboard doesn't workThe remote on this app works just like the Roku one but the keyboard doesn't work. That was money wasted..Version: 2.0.24
✓ Good product but the pro version doesn't support all Roku devicesThe free version works completely fine with my Roku 3 (Telstra TV). However I thought the pro version would allow me to control volume for the Roku which certainly didn't work for my device hence the low rating. Maybe a note on the compatible devices would rather help future users..Version: 2.1.6
✓ PaywallDon’t waste your time it’s all locked behind a paywall.Version: 2.1.5
✓ Just get the free app - save your moneyThe free app worked great, but I only gave a 3 star rating because of the paid features I was was enticed into buying. I should have saved my money. When I choose channels, sure I see all my Roku apps, but as soon as I choose one of my apps, I’m back to the free feature that has the arrows to navigate. At that point you need to be able to see your screen because it’s not on the app. Also, my volume control in the app doesn’t work..Version: 2.0.18
✓ Volume control doesn’t workGot this app as we have multiple Now TV (roku) devices plugged in to different TVs in our house but only 1 of the official remotes which stays in the living room. The app tends to lose the signal quite a bit but overall it works well. I purchased the add on for volume control thinking that like the roku Now TV remote, it would manage the volume on any of our TVs but it doesn’t. In the help section it says that if my roku remote allows me to control volume, then this app will too but this is not the case. I don’t know how to get my money back.Version: 2.1.7
