TV Remote for Roku Control 1.0

This review evaluates the Smart Remote for Roku TV application, which aims to replicate the functionality of a traditional remote control via a smartphone interface. The app provides users with a straightforward method to interact with their Roku devices, offering features such as app launching, playback control, volume adjustment, and more.

The setup process is reported to be uncomplicated: users need only connect their mobile device and Roku TV or streaming device to the same Wi-Fi network. The app then facilitates automatic detection of compatible Roku devices—supporting models including Roku Streaming Stick, Roku Express & Express+, Roku Premiere & Premiere+, and Roku Ultra—eliminating the need for manual configuration.

Key features highlighted include automatic device discovery without manual input, comprehensive remote control capabilities mirroring a physical remote, power and volume controls directly from the smartphone, an on-screen keyboard for quick text entry, HDMI input switching, and an innovative shake-to-play/pause function. The interface is designed to be clean and intuitive, with a realistic remote layout and support for long-press navigation buttons.
