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.

Even though I love the app. It lost 2 stars from me. For some reason it will not connect to my Roku TV, unless I unplug the television first and let it reconnect to the internet. Than sometime it will drop the connection. At first I thought it was the internet, but both items would still be connected. Please fix it I love this app.

I would rate zero stars if I could. Bring back the power button and you can have more stars. As of June '26, using the app to turn off the Roku device doesn't work either. Selecting the TV Off shortcut on screen, turns it off and immediately turns it on again. negative stars should be an option. Power function in app only works if you have a Roku branded TV. Gatekeeping a simple function is ridiculous.

Hi Stephen! Power and volume controls only appear when your remote is paired with a Roku TV. If you're using a streaming player with a non‑Roku TV, turning on HDMI‑CEC in your TV’s settings may allow those buttons to work. You can find setup instructions here: https://support.roku.com/article/360034303013. Hope this helps!

this is the last time(Roku app Roku TV and Roku stick). I'm done with the updates to the middle of a good movie and then it kicks you completely out and you miss a good chunk of the movie on the movie channels. not going to keep buying your products if you don't update when you feel like it and abruptly interrupt and kick everything off. when you have plenty of time to do that when it's first turns on or when it's turning off. whoever thought this was okay is complete trash.
