★★★★★T. W.· Nov 6, 2022
Right from the start, this App didn't let me down. Awesome,2 months later I'm satisfied with Quick Remote
★★★★★Amita Bardia· Apr 27, 2022
Good👍👍... But very slow downloading.... Nice👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
★★★★★Heather Tankersley· Aug 15, 2021
This solved all my problems with syncing roku tv to Google assistant. Roku TV is not truly voice activated, requires the push of a button on the upgraded remote control or using the app. Now I'm able to walk into my room and just tell my Google home nest what I want on my TV! Functions on TV are controlled with my voice.
★☆☆☆☆Nick Seraph· Feb 1, 2020
Google Nest app now incorporates Roku making this app redundant.
★★☆☆☆Mason Orton· Dec 11, 2021
Great idea, but trying to control a Roku TV with your Google home via quick remote is more of a hassle than it is worth. Every time you want to press any button via voice prompts, it is a two-step process then times out. If you want to then hit another button, you have to go through the two-step voice commands process again. I could not get my Google home to play specific channels or videos on YouTube.
★★☆☆☆Lotus Esprit· Oct 7, 2019
This app only works about 10% of the time. I have Google home and Roku TV.
★☆☆☆☆Brandon Sheppard· Mar 16, 2020
Voice hardly controls ever work wouldn't bother me so much if I had all the regular remote functions on the app itself. Why would yhere not he power or volume buttons on the app? They're the two most common buttons you'd be pressing anyway
