This is the worst ap I have ever owned. Every single time I try to use it, I have to open and close it at least 3 times as well as turn on and off my wifi again at least 3 times. At least half the time, it never connects. If anyone knows of a viable alternative app, please let me know. This app is absolute TRASH!!! FYI, THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 MONTHS NOW! SINCE I FIRST DOWNLOADED IT

Remote works well. However, the most recent update causes the remote listening (on wired or wireless headphones) to reset on its own. The functionality will now disconnect every minute or so... sometimes the audio just drops even though it's showing it's still connected. Listening thru this method is now unbearable, since it disconnects so much.

I had this app installed on a Samsung phone and it worked fine. I recently changed to a Google Pixel 7a and installed it and all the functions worked but I cannot get the sound to work. Turn on the Roku, launch the app on my phone, it picks up the Roku, select any channel, hit play, pause, fast forward or rewind and they all work. No sound. Everything works except sound. I know my Bluetooth headphones work because when I close the Roku app, my headphones work fine with YouTube.
