Description by Swift Apps.(from Google Play)
Turn your phone into a remote for your Roku TV or streaming player. Hear the TV on your headphones with Private Listening, type with your phone keyboard, open any channel in one tap, and cast your photos, videos and music to the big screen. No sign-up and no account needed.
The app finds your TV on your home Wi-Fi by itself. Misplaced your Roku remote, or did its batteries die? Your phone is ready in seconds.
REMOTE AND TOUCHPAD • The keys you use every day: home, back, OK, arrows, play/pause, rewind, fast forward, instant replay and options, plus power, volume and mute on Roku TVs • Hold an arrow or volume key to repeat it, just like the physical remote • Touchpad: swipe to move, tap for OK • Your phone's volume buttons change the volume of a Roku TV (you can remap them) • A key blinks green when the TV receives it (red if it did not), so you know it worked; you can turn this off • Input (HDMI, tuner, AV), channel up/down and find-my-remote on supported devices
PRIVATE LISTENING • Hear the TV's sound through your phone and your headphones • Watch late at night without waking anyone • Needs a TV or player that supports private listening; some streaming sticks are not supported yet
KEYBOARD • Type searches, usernames and passwords with your phone keyboard instead of the on-screen letters
CHANNELS • Every channel installed on your TV, one tap away • Mark favorites and switch to your Favorites list
CAST TO YOUR TV • Photos: one at a time, or a slideshow with fade transitions • Videos and music: one file or a playlist of up to 50 • Web video: browse a site in the app and send the compatible videos it finds to your TV • IPTV: paste your own stream link or open your own M3U playlist. The app does not provide channels or playlists. • Casting Controls while something plays, with playback keys and the photo position ("Photo 3 of 12") • Files stream straight from your phone to your TV over your own Wi-Fi; nothing is uploaded • Casting plays through "CastHero - Cast to TV", our own free channel in the Roku Channel Store. The app helps you add it with two OK presses. • Videos from subscription streaming services can't be cast; open those in their own channel on the TV.
WORKS WITH Works only with Roku. Roku TV models from TCL, Hisense, onn., Sharp, Insignia, JVC, Philips, RCA and other brands, and Roku streaming players such as Express, Streaming Stick and Ultra. More than one TV at home? Switch between them anytime from the TV list.
GETTING CONNECTED • Put your phone and your TV on the same Wi-Fi network. The app finds the TV automatically, or you can enter its IP address. • The remote keys keep working even when the TV's "Control by mobile apps" setting is Limited. If a feature needs more access, the app shows you which setting to change.
ALSO • Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Hindi • Free to download and supported by ads. Remote Pro removes every ad

★★★★★Steven Heimdal· Feb 6, 2026
Got it to work by manually entering my roku devices ip address without them being connected on the same network. I use the Hotspot on the phone im using as a remote
★★★★★J. Cervantes· Jul 8, 2026
Quick connection and better than most paid apps, no ads, free, you can use the rocker volume buttons from your cellphone to control your tv volume, highly recommended
★★★★★Joyce Chaney· Mar 1, 2026
Absolutely love this app. I was tired of looking for the remote that I yet have found, a friend suggest I download a remote. So I read the reviews which I was sold on how well it works with NO ADS. I highly recommend this app.

5 stars to 1 stars with latest update that includes ads. I'm fine with a banner ad across the bottom of the remote screen but having full screen video ads or download app screens appear with what seems to be triggered by multiple presses on the d-pad is horrible, and I'm likely abandoning this app. The video ad for TikTok wasn't even in English and froze, had to back out and force stop the Remote app. Update: even better 1 of the ads was "YOUR ANDROID HAS BEEN HACKED ## VIRUS FOUND" scare ads 🙄
