Used to work fine, now an absolute pain. Mainly used as a remote for our Roku Sticks, for a few weeks now you use the Remote, go elsewhere on your phone and when you come back to the app it fully doesn't work and you have to force stop before the remote works again. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. If you're going to make the remotes so small they inevitably get lost the app needs to work.

rubbish since update . No problem before , in fact we had lost the roku remote. Now had to buy a remote to work the roku as the app wont connect . Yes all devices connected to same router , yes have tried disconnecting etc repeatedly . Very fed up . At some point the remote will get thrown across the room again ( not by me) and i will be left unable to use the TV for my paid for streaming channels or anything else .

Lost our official remote, thought I'd try this as a work around, wasn't expecting much, but I must confess it's very good, and actually rivals the original remote performance wise, my only gripe is that it does freeze now and again but that might be a WiFi connection thing, not sure, but it doesn't really detract from using it.
